2016 Hyundai Accent Steering

My steering wheel column was replaced 4 months ago because it was shorting itself - steering froze up while driving - I was unable to steer vehicle in any way - after total replacement I am having issues with dash board lights flashing on off - MPH states that I’m driving at 0 miles per hour and steering wheel froze up for a moment. SAME as before.

Steering froze up while driving - was unable to turn car more than a few inches with great difficulty

The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Accent. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the ESP warning light suddenly illuminated and moments later the steering wheel could not be turned in either direction. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the steering rack and pinion had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000. Dealer admitted and wrote car was a factory defect.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI ACCENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED WITH THE STEERING FAULT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO WEBB HYUNDAI MERRILLVILLE (1000 81ST AVE, MERRILLVILLE, IN 46410) HOWEVER, WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

THE CAR DRIFTS AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH AND AT 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY REQUIRE CONSTANT CORRECTION DUE TO STEERING DRIFTING. DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT'S THE ELECTRONIC STEERING. AND THAT I WILL GET USED TO IT. THE CARS ACTS AS IF IT HAS WORN STEERING COMPONENTS. AT HIGHER SPEED THE STEERING IS SLOPPY, THE CAR WANDERS FROM SIDE TO SIDE.
