Today my abs light went on and the brakes became rock hard could not press down on them. Then I parked the car checked all fluids and belts, turned the car on again the abs light turned off. Started to drive tried accelerating from 25mph to 30mph then esc light went on locked my breaks tried driving to park in a safe place as soon as I parked the car and turned it off a bad smell and lots of smoke came out of my front tires and rear tires. Got car towed breaks are ok my mechanic pressed the esc button off and now breaks are soft. I believe there is a malfunction that you should look into that will cause a recall. Also tpms light randomly goes on and off. Tire pressure again is fine. Please consider looking into this. It's the only car we've had for about 9 years and now my daughter drives it to school. Safety please!! thank you, dalia.

I was driving my vehicle downtown and my eps light came on along as well as flickering of my low tire pressure and abs light which I believe is breaks failing. But I had failure of my power steering for sure. Out of nowhere I could no longer navigate heavy and slow traffic. I turned the car off and back on only to have all of my gears lock up and not allow me to even attempt at moving it, after turning it off the second time car entirely died and will not start at all. We managed to get the gears unlocked after a few attempts with just the battery on and push it off the busy road to call for a tow truck. I see online that the 2011 Hyundai Sonata has a recall for the power steering failure but my VIN is not covered but I am definitely effected by this recall. The campaign number is 16v190000.

Esc/abs lights came on while driving and was hard to control the car acceleration was hard and braking seemed to go down low enough to scare you. I made it home the lights went off but back on another doing the same thing happened where acceleration seemed to be dragging anf brakes felt low this is dangerous and now I do not drive it since these lights come on often. I had the car checked and dtc codes show multiple code for abs, esc, airbags all of which have been fixed but that did not help the esc/abs light still come and make braking/acceleration hard at times.
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.

About a week ago I was driving home on my lunch break and was heading down main street in saugus, MA driving about 35mph. I came to the end of the road, and as the light turned yellow, I proceeded to slow down and come to a stop. As I was slowing down my brakes locked up, and I couldn't stop. The abs light did not illuminate in my dash. The brakes ended up "kicking in" thankfully allowing me to stop in time. The same day, as I was driving back to work, I was going 15 mph by wakefield high school, and I went to go brake, and I couldn't stop. Abs sounded like it was kicking in, but no illumination, and thankfully stopped in time before hitting the car in front of me. That following weekend, same thing happened pulling off of my street, and I couldn't stop at the stop sign, and instead, skidded down the hill and stopped about 2 feet passed the stop sign. No illumination. It feels like your sliding down an icy hill and the abs kicks in, but the light doesn't turn on warning me. It literally just works when it wants and it's extremely unsafe and scary. The last time I drove it was this Monday, and when braking, I couldn't stop right away, abs kicks in, no illumination, and my heart in my throat. When reading on what was going on that night, I found that the 2015 Hyundai Sonata model had a recall for abs malfunctions during may 28th 2014 to August 21st, 2015 where Hyundai recalled over 65,000 vehicles for the same issue with the following: " in the event of an abs malfunction, the brake system warning light will illuminate, but the abs warning light will not illuminate. Since the vehicles have abs malfunction lights that do not illuminate, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 135, "light vehicle brake systems. " I sincerely feel that my vehicle is also affected and should be honored by this recall.

2006 Sonata: the esc abs light comes on and pushing the on/off switch does not put it out. If I shut the car off and re start, the dash light goes out sometimes; may return the next time I start the car. .
The abs light would sometime come on and off, causing the radio and lights to click on and off. This has been going since I brought the car.
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!!.
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.
Under regular driving conditions the brake pedal would become so hard that they could not be pressed down, the speed would decline to 5 miles per hour and the car would start smoking. The abs and esc light would come and wouldn't go off until car is turned off. This s due to a faulty abs hecu unit (hydraulic and electronic control unit) and the right front upper control arm. I contacted Hyundai who wouldn't pay the dealer to fix my 2006 Hyundai Sonata GLS v6 with 65,263 miles. They advised that the isn't under warranty, however, the abs hecu unit is faulty. This is a safety concern for myself and fellow drivers.
Campaign #092 was replaced on my vehicle at bel air Hyundai on 9/14/2010. The vehicle was there for other regular service and the recall was performed. At that time, the switch was not a problem. No check engine light and we were unaware that this recall was even performed. I’m sure it was listed on my paperwork. This week, my check engine light comes on and my abs light stays on. I took it to autozone. The code was p0504. Faulty stop lamp brake switch. I looked it up online, unaware that it was already replaced once. Called bel air Hyundai, made my appointment, took the car in on August 29, 2014. I was told by leon that my car did not qualify for this recall. Not that it had been replaced, but that my VIN did not qualify. I took my vehicle back because I could not afford the $160 repair on the switch that I really and truly thought would be covered by this recall. I called Hyundai customer service and opened case# 6843293. The gentlemen I spoke with gave me the information regarding the completed campaign from 9/14/2010 and suggested that I call bel air Hyundai back again and that they should replace this switch for free. I did as he suggested and was told by leon that this was not their policy to perform recalls twice and the repair was going to cost me $160. Needless to say, I’m a little unhappy about all of the work that I’ve had to put into this and I’m still going to be out money for this repair. This is a faulty switch as per the recall. Who is to say the 2nd one is not faulty as well?.
I received notification from my dealership that my rear disc brakes on my 2006 Hyundai Sonata needed to be replaced (pads, rotors). My car currently has 56k miles on it, and any car I've ever owned never need a rear brake job (pads only) before 100k miles. The front disc brake pads were just replaced in November, and during that visit the technicians stated that all brakes (after the job) were fine. Additional issues with car, repaired during recall: esc light displayed on dashboard abs light displayed on dashboard airbag light displayed on dashboard.
My husband notice the passenger airbag light was coming on and going off as we were going down the highway at around 20,000 miles. This happened many times for both my husband and myself. I brought the car into 2 different dealers and was told they can't duplicate the problem. Since we didn't notice it happening until we were going down the highway for at least a half hour, I wasn't surprised that it didn't happen while test driving it at slower speeds in town. Since it didn't happen for the dealers, and the abs light in the instrument panel didn't come on when it happened, there was nothing they could do. Now that the vehicle is out of warranty at 66,000 miles, both the passenger abs light and the instrument light have come on and won't go out. I also noticed that the passenger seatbelt light was flashing when my husband had his seatbelt on and buckled. I am bringing it to the dealership to see if this will be fixed under warranty but am sure they will say it's not covered and will cost me.

I had noticed at first the crack in the dashboard in 2006 right after I had purchased my car. They replaced the dashboard, but not correctly the first time. When I finally got my car back, I attempted to turn the headlights in my car on, at that time all of the interior lights of my car went out. There were wires that were apparently switched. At this time I called the dealership again and informed them of the new problem. This issue was subsequently fixed. After they replaced the dashboard I started to have probelms with the driver and passenger side air bag lights going on. The turned them off and stated it was my fault. About three months later both air bag lights came on again. At this time I took it to another dealer who looked up information on the computer and stated that it must have been my fault again. Someone went out to the car and shut them off but no paperwork was written up. Then another 3 months later the lights came on again and there was another crack in the dashboard around the passenger side air bag. I called the original dealer again and they ordered another dashboard for the car. At this time I asked them again to check to see about the airbag lights. They have had my car for a week now (I still do not have it back). While all the air bag lights issue was happening, there is also another issue with the abs and esc (electronic stability control) lights also coming on and not going off. I have been informed the the abs and esc light was coming on because there is a braking issue with the car. And the airbag lights that keep coming on and staying on is because of a sensor issue with the passenger side seat. They are not sure why this keeps happening. They are also not sure what caused the brake issue with the abs and esc lights.
