general problems of the 2006 Hyundai Sonata

I have a 06 Sonata 2. 4l that had rear control arms rotted out plus the subframe. And my esc light is on not really sure what to wit that. But my car is down now due to rear control arms needed replaced.

The contact owns a 2006 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the abs warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that water had entered the anti-lock brake module that caused an electrical short and informed the contact that the vehicle was included in the NHTSA campaign number: 18v026000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was not repaired. An undisclosed dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. The VIN was unavailable.

I have had several things wrong with other models and my 06 Hyundai Sonata having the exact same thing happening but the dealer ship wont even acknowledge the words from my mouth, or I get the speech outta your pocket. When I start my car its normal till I put it in drive, it starts pushing the brakes jerking my car leaving black marks in the road onetime. Its happening everyday for 7 months then after the brakes thing its like my car dies then esc light on my dash will light up and it drives normal. Then the sway bar, bushing and struts have went bad 4 times in the past year. The brakelines rusted into and currently going through the second time fixing them. Pour brake fluild in and it does no good still none. The headlights bulbs have been replaced 3 times in 2 years now. They may stay bright for 3 months or so then they go dim so dim you cant see black ice till your up on it.

This is the third time I am having to replace the calipers on my car in 4 yrs. They keep locking up while I am driving & won't release. When it does thus it ruins my roters & grinds my breaks down.

I'm having a few issues with my car. Some of the issues I'm having are: my lighting/headlights, my fuel lines are completely rusted out and cause gas to leak from my vehicle, it sometimes will not start or turn all the way over, and the brakes on my car. I have looked up some recalls for my specific type of car and some of them match the issues of which I'm currently having. All of the issues I have are very dangerous and would be dangerous for other drivers around me.

My vehicle was moving upon coming to a stop. I tried the brake system but my car wouldn't stop and caused an accident. That's what I remember.

The brakes on my 2006 Hyundai Sonata failed on me as I was driving. My car seemed to have not been working properly.

I had 2006 Sonata esc light popped up and suddenly my accelerator pedal stopped working my car was idealized to the speed of 20mph I was on the interstate I was just saved to meet an accident. Fuse box started heating and it burnet I shutoff engine and then stayed their for a while and then I went back home. I thought only my car has this problem but there are many more cars with the same problems I am not using my car since I changed tps assembly breaklight switch fuse but still, problem resist this may cause a big accident. Please look after this safety problem.

The failure occurred without warning. The contact was able to safely maneuver from the highway away to the parking lot. The contact exited the vehicle and saw flames under the vehicle. The fire department was contacted and extinguished the fire. The vehicle was towed to salvage yard where it was deemed a total loss. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. There were no injuries that required medical attention. The vehicle was involved in NHTSA campaign: 18v026000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. Kh.

The first thing I noticed was the engine was dying when I came to a stop at a red light, with the engine idling, the car in drive and my foot on the brake. I started to put the car in neutral when I had to come to a stop, so the engine wouldn't sputter, and then back in drive when I wanted to go. After about a day or 2, the engine started revving when I put it in drive or reverse, and the brake wasn't strong enough to stop the car. I took it to my Hyundai dealer, who said it needed a new transmission (specifically torque converter). I took it to a transmission shop, which rebuilt the transmission. But the car was still revving when it was put in drive and idling, with the brake on. The transmission shop researched the problem, which took about a month, and found that the control module had malfunctioned. According to the mechanic, it was sending the signal to rev the engine and cut the power to the brakes when the car was idling in gear. He said he found that there were several complaints about this make/model/year range, but there was no recall because no serious injuries or deaths had occurred because of it yet. Obviously, it is just a matter of time till this happens, when a vehicle revs its engine and cuts power to the brakes simultaneously. Once the problem was identified, the transmission shop was able to order the software from Hyundai to reprogram the ecm, which solved the problem.

Sudden unexpected acceleration with no power brake. Acceleration of vehicle on it's own. When in park and neutral vehicle idles fine and power brakes work. With foot on brake and placing the vehicle in drive or reverse it accelerated immediately to uncontrollable speeds with no foot on the gas pedal. At the same time you lose power brake and it is impossible to control unless the driver puts the vehicle in neutral, then power brake engages and acceleration stops. This happened to my daughter's car on 4/24/18. Thankfully there was no accident. I also tested the car and it is uncontrollable. Experienced no problems or warnings prior to this. No check engine light before or after this incident. I had the car towed to my auto repair shop. Got the car on the lift and put it in drive. It immediately accelerated on it's own and reached 80 miles per hour quickly. No foot on the accelerator or brake. Decided to call Hyundai dealership. The car was towed to the dealership on 4/30. The tech confirmed our concerns. On 5/11 the service manager contacted Hyundai corporation on our behalf. We also called Hyundai customer care on 5/13. No vehicle should extremely accelerate and lose power brake at the same time! this is a safety defect. Regardless of what the problem is no vehicle should react like this. The vehicle is still at the Hyundai dealership and needs to be investigated to find the root problem and solve it! this is necessary to prevent any vehicle from doing this again. Lives are at risk and a recall needs to be done. Drive by wire system. . .

Esc light com's on randomly causing car to decelerate becomes hard to steer and car looses power. Have had various things done to car but it continues to happen randomly.

I have been having the abs/esc light come on periodically but usually when I turn the car off and back on again the abs/esc light would go off. But now my check engine light is on as well as the abs/esc light. The check engine light stays on but the abs/esc light does not come on until I hit the brakes for the first time while driving.

On March 9th, 2015, I was driving home from work after picking up my infant daughter from daycare when several warning lights illuminated on the dashboard of my 2006 Hyundai Sonata; the airbag, abs, and esc off warning lights. In preparation for the upcoming left turn into my neighborhood, I tapped the brake pedal to disengage the cruise control and coast to the intersection. The cruise control did not disengage. I applied more pressure to the brake pedal to slow down, but upon releasing the brake the vehicle returned to the set cruise speed. I now applied as much pressure as I possibly could to the brake pedal and the cruise control set light did not disengage. The Sonata downshifted and revved up to 4k rpm attempting to overpower my braking. At this point it was too late to avoid the intersection. I placed the car into neutral and swerved to avoid hitting an oncoming vehicle and median, at the turn. The Sonata spun out and came to rest in the oncoming traffic lanes after overshooting the turn. I verified my daughter was uninjured then proceeded to drive the Sonata, at idle, the remaining 1/8th of a mile to my house. After arriving at home, I visited Hyundai's and the national highway traffic safety administration’s vehicle recall information web pages and found no recalls regarding my Sonata’s VIN.

When I started the car in the morning the( eco off) light came on, and there was no power, but the engine was still on. I pulled over to the side of the road, shutoff the ignition, when I started the car again, everything was normal. The check engine light was on. It happens every time that the car is parked overnight. The solution is always the same, pull over and cutoff the ignition for a few seconds.

Stop lamp switch was replaced under recall in sept 09. Same part went again in approx July 2011. Charged for diagnostics and replacement of stop lamp switch 1429 ckr $79. 95 and 1 93810-sk000 switch asm $6. 60 for a total of $86. 55. Dealer, motorworld of wilkes barre, PA indicated that I already had recall done so I would have to pay for this repair. I also own a 2011 Sonata and had to have the same part replaced two months ago (under warranty). Seems like there is still a problem with this part.

2006 Hyundai Sonata-problem with brakes and rotors. I just had to have front and rear brakes replaced and rear rotors replaced. The cost was $600. 00. I only have 21,000 miles on the car. I was told by the Hyundai service dept. That the normal for this type of repair is 40,000 miles. I have been on the internet and have discovered that this is an ongoing issue affecting numerous Sonata owners and the company is aware of the problem. Are they possibly using defective parts? if there are so many complaints about the same issue why isn't the company addressing it.

: the contact stated when the fuel tank was filled to the â¾ or full mark, there was a creaking noise heard when the vehicle came to a complete stop. The first time the vehicle was taken to the dealership, who determined this was a normal occurrence. The second time, the dealership determined the spare tire was loose and this was the cause of the noise. The dealership tightened the spare tire, but the noise persisted. The third and last time, the dealership determined that because the gas tank was made of plastic, the tank may be expanding resulting in the creaking noise.
