While driving down the road at approximately 30-40 mph, the eps (electronic power steering) light on the dashboard came on. Seconds later, the steering wheel stiffen up and was nearly impossible to turn the wheel. I immediately turn on my hazard warning lights and started to decrease my speed. Eventually, with much physical force and effort i was able to make it "safely" off the main road into an entrance to a construction site. I put the car in park and turned it off. After about 15 second, i turn the car back on and the power steering return to normal and the eps dashboard light went off. Call the dealership to make an appointment. However, this issue should be a recall as it can cause great harm to vehicle occupants and other drives in the case of an accident.
