| Electronic Stability Control problems |
I was at a four way-year-old and stop where I had to yield as I was doing the Santa Fe cut off and I lost all power steering wheel locked up and I couldn't control vehicle turn the key off and then turn the key back on the truck started 20 minutes later the truck would not start it when you return on the antitheft alarm keeps beeping.
Started car, noticed the following dash lights were abs esc downhill braking checked online and found that Hyundai recalled 1. 7 million vehicles for this problem (defective brake lamp switch) up to 2011. I'm concerned that my 2012 car has the same issue, even though my VIN is not included in the recall. These lights stay on no matter if moving or stationary.
On two separate occasions, my 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe stalled, for no apparent reason, causing loss of steering, wheel control, and brakes. On the first occasion, I was driving through a mall parking lot. While making a left turn and attempting to drive down a row of parking spots, my car stalled and I was unable to turn the steering wheel, brake or guide the vehicle. On the second occasion, I was turning left down the street to my home. Again, without warning, the car stalled, various light eliminated on the dash, and I lost complete control of the vehicle. I had no advanced warning and the car otherwise seemed to be running normally.
Driver was pulling into a parking space when Santa Fe suddenly surged or lunged forward and to the right causing car to jump over a concrete bumper and into another car parked at a 90-degree angle. After the accident investigation was cleared driver proceeded to the local dealership. Enroute the Santa Fe would not shift out of low gear. Dealer claimed the events could not be duplicated.
