general problems of the 2007 Hyundai Sonata

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.

We were driving highway speed when all of a sudden the cars check engine light, esc light came on while in the middle of traffic and the motor completely shut off causing no steering or any control of the vehicle, was able to coast to the side of the road and tried restarting the car with no luck. Called the dealership immediately and they stated it had done that to the previous owner but was not warranted to be fixed, but yet we only purchased this car 6 months ago. Sat on the side of the road trying to figure out what to do, when the tow truck came by and scanned in which I got the following codes: p2106,p1295,p2135. Its a sensor on the accelerator pedal and causes the car to shut off immediately because it cant respond to the throttle body. This is very dangerous as we could have been rearended and seriously injured. Please contact ASAP!!!!!!.

Case no. [xxx] I purchased my 2007 Sonata from the denville, NJ dealership in may 2007. With only 38,000 miles on odometer I had the scare of my life¦.

They gave me a copy of said bulletin. They noted that even if they installed the part, I would have to have a Hyundai dealer perform ecu software update. Therefore, I brought the car to the dealer and had them make the repair. I expected that this would be a ¿¿recall¿� by Hyundai, as failure of this part could be life threatening, as it was in my case.

Service manager at tuscaloosa Hyundai said they replace the $500+ throttle positioning sensor on 4-5 cars per week. He said Hyundai wouldn't issue a recall until someone got hurt.

I believe that Hyundai should pay for this repair, as it seems it is widespread, and perhaps being covered up or hidden.
