Description of the problem	I was driving down a city road and lost all control of my vehicle while turning left into traffic. There was a loud mechanical sound as i turned, the steering wheel locked up, warning lights came on in the dash, and neither my brakes nor my steering would engage. The brakes kicked back on, but i had to force the wheel through loud popping and cracking and a loss of power steering. The car was towed to a regular mechanic where they found the power steering assist had failed. The power steering assist had just been replaced 7 months prior due to a recall, because of this same problem (campaign 143). When the mechanic called and asked the hyundai dealer if there was coverage to replace this part, they said no. I had to pay $900 to the other mechanic for a replacement and the tow and went without a car for almost 2 weeks. The recall placed a defective part in my car, then made me pay to replace it.
