Description of the problem	Traveling at around 5mph after leaving a stop sign, i pressed gas pedal, to my surprise noticed car was not really gaining any speed but instead, steering wheel started moving, violently, with such power, i could not even pull car to the side of the road. I put the car in parking and the violent steering wheel movement continued. I then proceeded to turn the car off, terrified something else was going to happen but nothing changed: violent movement of steering wheel continue from side to side for a total of 25 minutes. This is a 2011 hyundai sonata se that i leased just a month ago. I was contacted today by hyundai and was told my car was fixed and ready to be picked up. As i asked what was wrong with it they answered "a defective mechanism was found and they have replaced the steering wheel column". I seriously wish i don't have to get that car back; am still terrified by the horrific experience. Even though hyundai believe this a isolated issue, i wanted to put it out there in case it happens again.
