 With 826 miles on the vehicle I was coming up to a stop sign, heard a pop in the steering column and lost all steering on the vehicle.  You could spin the steering wheel completely around.  Coasted to a stop, had it towed to the nearest Hyundai dealer.  They found it was an assembly line defect in putting the steering column together.  They were very sorry it happened, but insured me they had never seen this before.  They acted like my radio knob had fallen off.  If I had been going down the highway at 60 mph I wouldn't be writing this now.  If you have a Veracruz I would recommend you have your steering column checked.  If it happened once it can happen again!
