Description of the problem | Comments: my eps electronic power has ceased to function twice. Once a year ago - i got into start the car and the eps light came on and there was no steering - could not turn the wheel. I reported to hyundai and was ignored. There are others reporting the same thing on the internet. Tonight, we came out of the theater late late show - and the same thing occurred. A year ago- i put the key in and out 3 times the light went off and the steering came back. Tonight it did not. I believe to be electrical in nature and a result of a faulty design. The only thing we did tonight differently than before was to turn on the rear overhead light before going in the theater. |
