2007 Hyundai Sonata Driver assistance Problems

I have been encountering issues with my 2007 Hyundai Sonata SE in the following manners: 1- At times the brake lights will be on and the car will have anyone inside. 2- My ESC OFF light comes on will not go off. 3- When using my headlights the cruise control will not work. (Specifically when the automatic lights would come on the cruise goes off) 4-At random times the key will not turn. All the above mentioned issues concern the electrical system!, Speed Control!, and lighting systems. All are available for inspection upon request. My safety and the safety of others has been put at risk because of system failures causing the car to operate improperly and dangerously. I have not had the extra money to take it to the dealership. No other reports have been made. The only warning light is the ESC OFF light comes on occasionally. This light began coming on 6 months ago.

The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the electronic stability control (ESC) warning light illuminated causing the brakes to lock-up and the vehicle to not accelerate as needed. The contact stated that she waited until the vehicle cooled down for the vehicle to operate normally. The contact was then able to drive the vehicle home safely. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who stated that the hydraulic control unit needed to be replaced. Additionally, the dealer stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 09V122000 (Exterior Lighting) and that she had to pay out-of-pocket for the repair. The contact agreed to the repair but was later informed that the parts were discontinued. The manufacturer was contacted and was working with the contact. The failure mileage was 210,075.

THE ESC OFF INDICATOR LIGHT WILL APPEAR ON THE DASH AND STAY ON STEADILY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE ENGINE WILL REMAIN ON, BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE. NO AMOUNT OF PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WILL GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS DURING NORMAL WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE, CAUSING A TRAFFIC JAM AND ME HAVING TO CROSS OVER 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO ENGINE POWER TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. THERE WERE NO ADVERSE ROAD OR WEATHER CONDITIONS WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THIS IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE A 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA SE 3.3L V6. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN ISSUE OF A FAULTY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THE INCIDENT WHERE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ON SUNDAY MARCH 11TH 2018 WAS BY FAR THE MOST DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE. THE ONLY WAY THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE IS ON ENCE THE ESC OFF LIGHT INDICATOR IS NO LONGER LIT ON THE DASH. AND THE ONLY WAY I AM SOMETIMES ABLE TO GET THIS LIGHT TO TURN OFF, IS BY DISCONNECTING THE NEGATIVE CABLE FROM THE BATTERY FOR 20 MINUTES TO AN HOUR OR SO.

MY ESC LIGHT COMES ON INDICATING THAT THE ESC IS OFF WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND AT TIMES RIGHT AFTER I START THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO MOVING. I HAVE PRESSED THE BUTTON DURING THOSE TIMES AND IT DOES NOTHING. AT TIMES IT WILL BE LITE FOR A DAY OR TWO THEN IT GOES OFF. THERE CAN BE A MONTH OR SO OR DAYS IN BETWEEN EACH OCCURRENCE.. IT COMES ON RANDOMLY, DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS OR SOMETIMES WHEN I DRIVE ON A BUMPY ROAD AND OF COURSE DURING WET CONDITIONS. I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2007-2008 FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL AS OF THIS DATE. PLEASE ADVICE ME AS TO WHAT I NEED TO DO TO HAVE THIS TAKING CARE OF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN BOTH THE DRIVE AND REVERSE POSITIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. DURING THE FAILURE, THE RPMS WOULD INCREASE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO APPLY EXTRA FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ERNHEART HYUNDAI (10401 WEST PAPAGO FREEWAY IN AVONDALE, AZ 85323), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CLEANED AND A MAINTENANCE TUNE-UP WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE "ESC OFF" INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES RANDOMLY AND CANNOT BE TURNED OFF USING THE INTERIOR BUTTON THAT IS DESIGNED TO DO SO. LOOKING AT SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS LIKELY CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTION IN THE STOP LAMP SWITCH ASSEMBLY THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR OTHER VEHICLES IN THE MAKE/MODEL/YEAR. PLEASE EXTEND THIS RECALL TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING, MY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL RANDOMLY COME ON. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO TURN OFF IS TO RESTART THE CAR. RELATED TO THIS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE NOT ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR HAS REFUSED TO BE SET INTO PARK WHEN THE ESC LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED. THIS HAPPENS ALWAYS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND THE ESC LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OUT (EVEN IF THE ESC BUTTON IS PRESSED) UNLESS THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. *TR

MY AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR HYUNDAI'S. ALSO, MY ESC LIGHT GOES ON AND SOMETIMES STAYS ON. AGAIN ANOTHER COMPLAINT WITH THIS CAR. BOTH ARE SAFETY ISSUES THAT SEEM TO BE NEGLIGENT ON THE MANUFACTURES PART. WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN LOGGED THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE THAT HYUNDAI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR.
