Description of the problem | 09' elantra gls approx. 66k miles 6/18/2020. I lost power steering and the eps light came on while accelerating through a light that had just turned green. Ever since then i randomly loose power steering and the eps light comes on. I've lost power steering while driving, right after shifting into gear (reverse and drive), and after i start to accelerate from a stopped position. There does not seem to be a pattern. The weather has been in the 70s/80s. Vehicle is all stock, fairly low mileage and has undergone routine maintenance. The previous owner reported this same issue at 35k miles which hyundai fixed by adjusting the steering angle sensor. That wasn't a permanent fix, as im learning the best permanent fix is to replace the whole steering column. |
