My esc, dbc, and abs warning lights all illuminated at the same time this morning. There are many complaints of this happening on numerous Hyundai forms. Folks have been told to replace hubs, sensors and assorted other pieces. Most do not work costing hundreds of dollars. My particular vehicle had the lights come on maybe 6 or 8 months ago. Go off and come on again and off again. I've ignored them not noticing any driving impact. But the car is warning me that it isn't safe to drive the car. This is not a one of or two or three issue. This from another owner;all three light illuminated on my 2011 Santa Fe so I changed my front right abs speed sensor which was the cause of the lights, but the dash lights are still illuminated. Took it to the dealer and they said there is a short in the abs system wiring harness. What's the cost to fix? $4500. 00 really! I think a recall is due for this problem.
Came home 8 pm. Son came home shortly after 10 pm. Just after midnight my car alarm started going off (car locked and parked in driveway), I got out of bed looked through blinds and saw my car was on fire. I ran to kitchen grabbed fire extinguisher attempted to put out fire and called 911. Fire dept determined fire started inside car at wiring area.
