Consumer Description

I WAS MAKING A SHARP CIRCLE TYPE CURVE TO THE RIGHT AND THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. I DID NOT LOSE ANY POWER, THE BRAKES WORKED FINE, AND NO LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE PANEL. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS THE HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE REP AT THE CORPORATE PHONE NUMBER WERE VERY UNCONCERNED. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS, AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON AND VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR
