1 Brake Abs Warning Light problem

Failure Date: 04/30/2019

Bsd issue light is on, traction control light, abs light. Dealer said right rear hub sensor was faulty. Had this replaced and didn't fix problem. Was charged $136 just to diagnose issue but changing the righty rear sensor hub didn't fix anything. Dealer says next repairs will be almost $500. Issues with warning lights happened during normal weather and driving conditions.

2 Brake Abs Warning Light problem

Failure Date: 07/27/2015

I purchased a 2015 Hyundai Sonata limited w/ tech pkg. I have the car with me in quebec canada for a job. To drive the vehicle in canada, it must undergo an inspection according to canadian standards. During vehicle startup, the abs warning light on the dash must illuminate for 3 seconds and then go out to signify normal operation of the abs. My abs light did not do this, so it failed. A diagnostic at a canadian Hyundai dealer came back with no error codes, the abs module functioned normally, and an emergency stop road test activated the abs system. I'd like to say I was able to convince them by opening my owner's manual, but to my surprise the owner’s manual states that the abs light should illuminate for 3 seconds and then extinguish. I immediately contacted the dealership that sold me the car and they were able to replicate the same condition (no abs light at start up) on an identical 2015 Hyundai Sonata limited vehicle and stated there were no pending recalls. Thus, I do not think this is not a manufacturer defect (able to replicate on identical vehicle and have seen several online videos to support no abs light on start up in limited edition Sonata), there is no malfunction in the abs system (canada diagnostic), and there is a discrepancy in the owner’s manual that is model-specific. I am unable to reference abs lighting conditions specific to the limited edition during the inspection process. Hyundai motor America, who had no other reference than the manual, suggested another inspection. I’m am reaching out to you in desperation to assist with information on this issue so I can satisfy my canadian inspectors and the car can stay in canada! please help!!.

3 Brake Abs Warning Light problem

Failure Date: 07/27/2015

My concern is whether or not there is a manufacturing defect in my 2015 Hyundai Sonata limited manufactured in the united states (and potentially other models as well). My owner's manual clearly states (page 5-41) that the abs warning light on the dash should illuminate for 3 seconds during start up as the abs system run a self-test, then extinguish. The abs light on my dashboard does not illuminate during startup as described in my owner's manual. Despite numerous diagnostic testing at certified Hyundai dealerships, the abs system is functioning normally electrically and mechanically. I am making the following inquiries: 1. Is the 2015 Hyundai Sonata limited designed to have the abs warning light illuminate during startup (to confirm or deny what is published in the owner's manual)? 2. Is this a manufacturing defect that requires a recall/replacement? 3. If this is not a manufacturing defect, can Hyundai motor America provide evidence (e. G. , letter, updated manual publication of limited modes) that this is, in fact, normal operation of the vehicle. 4. Does the vehicle have a normally operating abs system? is the vehicle safe to drive? these concerns deal specifically with the sound operating conditions of the vehicle, which have been put into question after a routine vehicle inspection.
