Description of the problem	**buyer beware***purchased this car in feb 2014 with only 230miles on it and in sept 2014 i pulled out of my home turned right and had no issues... Although about 50 feet later i stopped at a red light on a fairly busy street with mid to high traffic, i stopped and once in motion, immediate my ets light came on the dash and my steering completely froze up and steering wheel lock up. I was in motion going about 40 mph, not yet up to the 45 speed limit. There were cars all around me and i had to physically force my car to right with my emergency lights on. I was lucky this didn't happen on my way to get my child from school, or after. Otherwise it would have been a completely different situation. The hyundai corporation, has refused to buy back their default death trap of a vehicle and had the nerve to offer a "month car payment". My life could have been taken from me and they only offer a payment. Not acceptable. Buy back your known defective vehicle. I have had four recalls on this car in less than 3 years of purchase.
