Power Steering Failed
2013 Hyundai Elantra
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Hyundai dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: We're not used to seeing any major problems with Hyundai, which makes the early signs of trouble with the 2013 Elantra very surprising, in a bad way.
Early trends show problems with the steering wandering / pulling to one side along with premature tire wear. Elantra owners have tried sensor adjustments, wheel alignments, even replacing axles, most with no luck. Hyundai has made vehicle buybacks through arbitration, but that rarely works out well financially for owners in the end.
Also there is a pattern of complaints about the 2013 Elantra brakes grinding at very low mileage. It seems there was a bad batch of OEM pads & rotors, but so far Hyundai is not doing a recall. Instead Hyundai issued a TSB & dealers have been replacing pads & rotors on a per-complaint basis.
The final straw is that for several years in a row, Elantra owners report significantly lower gas mileage than the EPA estimates, & there's a small trend of engine problems.

I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra coupe GS, and I have had the steering coupler issue, the brake lights not turning off issue, as well as the computer sending the wrong signals and wreaking havoc causing me to replace the alternator, spark plugs, and coils only to find out a week later that my car did in fact fall under two of the specific recall notices (brake lights and computer) after Hyundai said it didnt!. When I contacted Hyundai again in regards to all of it in May or June 2020, their exact words to me were "What do you want us to do about it?"
And now, after finally getting the coupler issue resolved in November, my EPS just all of a sudden quit working with no warning. I was driving and out of nowhere, the wheel violently turned all the way to the right and locked. No EPS light, no warning, no nothing! This luckily in my case did not cause me to wreck, but it could have caused SERIOUS injuries had there been another car near me when it happened! It even did it sitting stationary while being looked at in the shop!
