| Description of the problem | While driving the car, it stalled and i struggled to turn into a parking space. I had a difficult time turning the steering wheel, then immediately on my dashboard, the eps light appeared. The car wont start immediately, it does not lock w/ the key, i have to manually lock it- when done manually the car does not start. However, when the key works the car starts. The entire dashboard has to be reprogrammed bc of the eps issue. I researched the eps issue and found the recall on hyundai for this issue. When in a stationary position, when the car does not start, i wait a moment and try several times and then it starts. My business involves traveling and this is very concerning as many times i am traveling alone. |
