Consumer Description

The vehicle steering wheel became hard to turn while driving. This could have caused serious accident and injury. The car also died on me while driving and impossible to turn the steering wheel while the vehicle is in motion. I then noticed a flashing light. This happened all at the same time and without notice. This could have been a major accident and I believe a serious defect as I saw too many KIA and Hyundai vehicles with the same complaints. Can this please be looked into? The vehicle next day refused to start. I paid $209.00 to get a new battery and then drove for about 1 hour, the same problem. The vehicle steering wheel locked up while I’m driving and almost didn’t turn while I going around a deep bend. Now it refused to turn on.
