Description of the problem	The electronic power steering stopped working as the eps indicator light came on. I had difficulty steering so i pulled over and restarted the car which temporarily fixed the problem. The rest of the way home (apprx 5 miles) it stopped working about 6 more times. Again this morning (5/20) on the way to work it stopped working. Each time it stops i am able to temporarily "fix it" by restarting the engine. To be safe i'm keeping off the highway. Prior to this incident my eps indicator light would come on periodically but without the eps itself failing. During these prior incidents my mechanic couldn't find a problem and turned the light off, but found it troubling. I took it to hyundai at one point and they claimed nothing was wrong and turned the light off.
