Q: EPS light stays on 2008 Hyundai Elantra
I have been driving my car for a while now and i just noticed that the EPS light stays ON. The steering is a bit stiffer. What could be wrong? Is it possible that it gets stiff on the highway while on top speed thereby causing an accident??
My car has 105000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
