Electronic Stability Control Problems of Hyundai Sonata - part 2

My car has stalled while I have been on the road and will shut off. It has restarted in the past over the course of the last year and half 2018-2019. Today Nov 1 2019, my car stalled and would not restart. It had been behaving strangely the past week. Now I am stuck.

When I try to press on the gas it seen like it's trying to slow down help I don't know what going on.

On September 1,2019 my car wouldnt start. I purchased a battery and a it turned over. On September 8th I drove to get a oil change and tune up which seemed abnormal when I got home. There was a ticking noise. I wasnt sure what was causing the ticking noise so I didnt drive the car. On September 9th I got into car and started it when I noticed a knocking noise, the noise accelerated once I pressed on gas pedal so I didnt want to drive it. My check engine light is rapidly blinking.

Taillights constantly burn out and work inconsistently. My passenger side taillight currently does not work after the entire taillight connector/wiring harness has been changed due to the bulb burning and melting the socket. The fact that the light gets hot enough to melt thus piece is a fire hazard. Additionally my esc light goes on for days and then suddenly goes off. I don't believe it possesses a safety issue due to possible unpredictable malfunctioning.

Over the past month my car has been in the shop four times due to it malfunctioning while I am driving it - and that is not including when I took it in at the end of August because the trunk merchanism broke and it wouldn't close. The first time happened over labor day weekend when I was on a roadtrip, out of nowhere the car would not accelerate and, like others on the nhsa website have stated, it was very jumpy and wouldn't go past 45 mph. I took it to the dealer where they replaced a safety recall in the wiring system and it worked fine for a few days before it had the same problem again. When I took it to the dealer the second time they told me the engine needed to be replaced because the engine was essentially broken and there were little metal pieces inside. It took a week to replace and then everything was fine for a few days until yesterday. Yesterday the battery light turned on and the repair shop let me know the battery was in good health but low on charge so they charged it and it seemed to be working fine. Then this morning while on the highway all of the emergency service lights (check engine, check brakes, etc. ) came on at the same time and the steering wheel locked up and it was undrivable. I by some miracle managed to pull the car over where I had to get the car towed to the dealer where I am awaiting to hear what is wrong. Do not purchase this car. After reading up on it apparently there seems to be issues with the engine and electrical system, that is extremely dangerous. I was lucky enough to not hit anyone but I could have been seriously injured all four times the car malfunctioned. All of these issues have been confirmed by the dealer to have been due to manufactural defects - something that is out of my control and shouldn't happen for a car that is under 26k miles.

My 2011 Hyundai Sonata while driving on road - perhaps over 50 mph, it turns on the esc mode in the car, and the engine slows down automatically. Even if you are on the highway, whic can be very scary. It also happens when driving it frequently now. I have to pull off the road, and turn off car, and then turn it on. Sometimes this works and sometimes it does not.

Airbag light stays on. I have researched this online and this is a problem that a lot of people are having. I think there should be a recall for the airbag and the electrical system. The light stays on while vehicle is in motion or idling. As far as the electrical system, sometimes it will go off, I have to stop my car, pull the fuse panel and unplug something, wait a few minutes then push it back in and then my radio, lights, etc work again. The electrical has been happening for several years off and on. The airbag light staying on is in it's second week. I just replaced my battery and the light is still on.

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.

The car is still throwing the ecm code up after its been replaced supposedly the brakes have been grinding since day 1 the brake actuator is bad something is making the throttle position sensor to keep going bad the dealership was aware of all the issues and made us aware of 2.

Making a bad knocking noice on driver front side by the wheel when turning in one direction the car in the opposite direction driving on the highway and street.

Takata recall on July 27, 28 2019 the esc light came on intermittently causing the car to stall driving south on I 75 and later on the streets. After turning the car off and restarting the car it drove along ok. During our return trip, the car stalled again driving north on I 75 , and we pulled to the side of the road only seconds before a 18 wheeler passed us within less than a foot between us. All five us could have been killed. We were lucky to find a national repair shop opened on a Sunday who diagnosed the problem as a faulty crankshaft position sensor( the car has 54,000 miles ) . The part was replaced and after 4 hours we were on our way, minus $400 plus dollars. Research indicates that this continues to be an unsafe and potentially deadly problem -that this sensor must be recalled- and the public made aware of the danger.

Takata recall, I've been experiencing brakes, my steering wheel shakes when I brake, and the exterior lights my tail lights are going off and on. All these issues were from January of 2019 current date July 27, 2019. I have taken my vehicle to the dealership and mavis tire. I got a new axle, brakes, routers, new tail lights nothing is working. It's been long overdue. Hyundai dealer wants a total of $1700 to fix. I refuse when I verbal told them there are complaint from all vehicle owners that had the same module vehicle as me. I looked and there is no recall on these issues. I told them I have three little kids and I don't feel safe driving my car anywhere because of these issues. Hyundai refuse to help!!!.

What a horrible experience, at about 6:45am esatern time on 07/25/2019, while driving on the highway the car trunk flipped open without any warning signs or any signs of defect and I immediately pulled over by emergency side and tried to close it back, after all failed attempts to close the trunk, with trunk wild open, I had to drive straight down to the Hyundai dealership were the car was purchased (rick case Hyundai duluth 3190 satellite blvd, duluth GA 30096) and to my utmost surprise, after explaining the incident to the service manager, I was told that the warranty does not cover such mechanical defect and they charged me $233 just to fix the latch, I tried to contact Hyundai customer care and they did not offer any solutions at all, what a very poor customer experience. This is the 3rd time I have to deal with this problem of trunk latch problems and no one seems to care or help out. . Really disappointed with Hyundai. My contact phone number: 404-514-3587.

Yesterday, I noticed driving that 3 sensors came on in my car . The sensors were abs, ecs, and low tire pressure. I called my dealership immediately and stated the problem the gentleman told me to come in Thursday July 25th 2019 and that it will be free of charge for a diagnostic . Thursday morning I awoke and travel 30 minutes away to the dealership. Upon 15 minutes from my departure a 4th light illuminated on my dashboard (eps) I begin to feel tension in my steering wheel . Once I arrived at the dealership I informed them that during my route here another light came on which turned out to be electric power steering . He informed me that it was a bad abs speed sensor and that the cost of the repair would amount to roughly $600 r. We asked two of the employees if it was safe for us to even drive they both stated yes I departed from the dealership and once I merged onto the highway my heart dropped as I seen a new light illuminate on my dashboard and it just so happened to be my check engine light my steering wheel felt as if it locked up on me I went to press the brakes and the pedal went to the ground I was about 20 ft behind another vehicle if it wasn't for the shoulder I would have crashed not only were myself and my fianc�'s life at risk but my unborn child also and the innocent civilians in the vehicle in front of me that I would have rear ended at 60 miles per hour this has me very upset and anxious being I almost got in a serious accident 2 week before my expected due date. I feel this is very unsafe and no car should be doing this unexpectedly, with no accidents or damage to the car. I don't know what else to do. Thank you sincerely, kaitlyn popko.

Car stalled and locked up three times while driving on a city street. Had the car towed to the Hyundai service center and was told it is the abs control module that is malfunctioning. The abs module recall should have been expanded as I never had any problems with this vehicle until now.

The airbag light will not go out. It came on while I was driving on a city street. My daughter was in the front passenger seat. We both had our seatbelts on. I'm concerned for our safety. Not sure what the airbag light is trying to warn.

In July 2019 I noticed that the brake lights came on in the middle of the night, although there is nobody in the car at that time. For the next few days the brake light were tuning on even when I was not pressing the brake pedal. In the same time the electronic stability control started to take over and it refused to accelerate when I pressed the gas pedal. The only way I was able to make it work was to depress the gas pedal and then press it again. I took the car to the mechanic because it was behaving very strange. The mechanic told me that the problem is a rubber stopper that kept the break pedal in place. When it is worn, it behaves as if somebody tried to hit the break. After the problem was resolved I discovered that there is recall 136 the accurately describes my problem for my car model. I contacted Hyundai about a possible recall but I got no response.

Takata recall when turning the steering wheel the horn plays while driving. Yet when you press the horn it doesn't plays.

Car was in motion at about 75mph on the highway when it jerked really hard then lost all power, making it a very unsafe situation for not only my family but also other drivers. The lights on the dashboard went all crazy and it hasn't started since that happened, car was towed to a dealership where they are stating it's a recall on the ecm.

On June 22th, 2019 I was driving on the highway in my 2012 Hyundai Sonata GLS and I heard a knocking sound under my hood and my engine light came on, so I pulled over to be safe. I called roadside assistance but the time of arrival was two plus hours. Since I was within a half mile of my home I continued on. Made an appointment with bentley Hyundai in huntsville, al for June 24th, 2019. My car sat for 2 days because it was the weekend and bentley Hyundai service was closed. The morning of June 24th, 2019 my vehicle would not start so I had it towed to bentley Hyundai. I ask chris erickson service advisor was there any service campaigns or recalls for my vehicle since I had many others for my Hyundai Sonata GLS recently. After about thirty minutes he came back and said no which was not true. Here is the proof: Hyundai assurance car care website it states; service campaign t3g dealer best practice launch February 15th, 2019 for Sonata/sante fe sport/ tucson engine dtc p1326 wiring inspection/installation and engine replacement (TSB # 19-01-006h supercedes TSB # 18-01-032-2). It specifically states affected vehicles affected 2011-2014 my Sonata (yf) vehicles with 2. 0l turbo and 2. 4 engines that may experience the check light engine warning lamp illuminated with dtc p1326. According to bentley Hyundai service department it was a switch issues which caused the problem. I paid $572. 36 for repairs. On 11/10/2019 I experienced the exact same issue knocking under the hood and engine light came on continous blinking. I was almost hit by an 18 wheeler because my vehicle decreased in speed drastically, pull to the shoulder drove very slow to advance auto two minutes away. They did a diagnostic code was p1326. I waited five hours for a tow from nashville, TN to bentley Hyundai in huntsville, al which cost me $475. Now Hyundai is asking me for $6785. 82 for an entire new engine.

My car's check engine light came on and I took it to the shop for diagnosing. The code p1326 came up and nobody can figure out the problem. My car doesn't accelerate properly and take a minute to shift gears and drive properly. There has been open communication on the issue by other people.

The contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the electronic stability control indicator illuminated while driving 60 mph. Also, the vehicle jerked and stalled, but was able to restart. Additionally, the accelerator pedal failed to respond when it was depressed. The vehicle was taken to several independent mechanics who referred the contact to heritage Hyundai towson (801 york rd, towson, MD, 877-387-5495) where it was diagnosed that the crank position sensor needed to be replaced; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 113,000.

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.

Vehicle is intermittantly cutting out while driving or at a stop. 88k miles multiple events within days now. Esc comes on and won't turn off since warm weather arriving. Normal dry running conditions. Loss of power to drivetrain. Accelerator depressed causes loud abnormal tin ringing sound from engine compartment. Have to pull the car over to shut off and restart. Condition occurs whether esc switch is on or off. Manual shifting is disabled. Transmission feels jerky just before. Esc event seems to occur mostly when accelerator is released up to a stop or cruising. Release of accelerator, trans jerks, esc engages but won't release till car is reset. Vehicle underwent a recall campaign for a bad transmission temp sensor cable recently. Dealer says no code, no fix possibility. Car occasionally smells like burning rubber.

Takara recall . Around June of 2019 my Hyundai Sonata started messing up it started with the fuel pump then fuses and also the battery light stays dim on the dash today the break lights and dash light wouldnt go on.

I started my car warm it up and start driving a few miles the car just stopped in the middle of a highway, glad I was able to drive it to the side of a road. Now the vehicle isn't starting at all, when I checked the engine bay there was smoke coming out and it smelled like burned plastic.

While driving on a highway 60 mph my vehicle began to stall and turn off. The vehicle mileage decrease and the car completely turned off I was unable to place hazards lights on or signals because the power on the vehicle had turned off. Upon pulling over the following day trying to start vehicle it began to smoke. It did not crank or make any noise just smoke coming up from the hood. This an result to safety recall NHTSA # 17v226000 or safety recall # 162. Which is wear within the engine. Engine failure may result in a vehicle stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Thankfully I did not crash but my vehicle stalled and completely shut off with no power to dash/radio etc which is a very dangerous occurrence.

While driving down the highway the warning light for the bsd sysiem started blinking on and off. The next morning it stayed on. I took it to the dealer and after two hours the service man came in and told me they couldn't find the problem but they thought it would be behind the rear bumper. They wanted me to pay $150 to remove the rear bumper to check it. He said if it was a problem there I would most likely have to pay for the repair as it was likely my fault. I refused to do so as I felt it should be covered by the waranty. I no longer have a functional blind side detecter. To detect traffic in my driver side blind spot.

Purchased a Hyundai Sonata 2014 Nov 2016. Are very serious issues with interior and especially with exterior lighting, brakes lights, rear lights. Break lighting assembly and wiring harness melts and burns to a black crisp, bulbs burst due to severe overheating during "normal operation" of the vehicle. Safety and fire hazard with rear tail light lap assembly, bulb burns extremely hot right through plastic housing unit. Unable to replace bulbs because lighting assembly melts to the socket's core and the socket melts over the bulb metal base. Expect extreme damage prohibiting replacement of any bulbs. After being pulled over repeatedly, informed exterior lights were even after just changing them. . Light bulbs burn hot rapidly, melt to the socket make it unable to get any replacement light bulbs to work because entire unit is then damaged, burnt and melted. Bulb will not fit because plastic unit has melted from circular to inward. Lights fail without the owner ever knowing until its too late. I've been parked at mall police officer informed me light was out, driving on highway pulled over 7 times given warning, repair orders due to lights out, pulled over on side street, road and lights just go out on highway. By the time bulb goes out its burned the entire unit through wiring, anything touching or around it. Change lights every 2, 3 weeks. When changing them I notice damage worsening, metal and bulb are burnt to a crisp. When I replace on side, a week or two later I have to change the other side. Creating a trickle affect. Once one goes out. Another goes out and so fourth. You literally have to replace the entire housing unit which is very expensive. Same repeats. . Tried to replace bulb with a halogen bulb instead and the base and bulb also burned. . Under assumption that doesn't burn hot. Did not work. During severe rain pre-existing issues only worsen and magnify. .

I had experienced problems with the brakes making noise and not reacting timely throughout 2019 before knowledge of a recall. On 5/15/19 I went to Hyundai services for a routine oil change. Hyundai informed me that there was a recall, which I now know to be service campaign 953, and that they needed a software update to resolve the issue. On my drive home after the software update was supposedly corrected, my check engine light started flashing and my car would not accelerate, was jerking, and was stopping in the middle of the road. This occurred in a residential area on a city street. I immediately called and brought the car back in. Five days later on 5/20/19, I experienced the same issue. On or about 7/26/19, my power steering began malfunctioning and my steering wheel would lock if I turned my steering wheel at all. The only way to undo this was by restarting the car, and it would just happen again. The steering wheel locked on city streets. I took my car into Hyundai services on 7/26/19, and it took them until 8/12/19 to finally resolve the issue by replacing the whole steering column and housing. During this time period, Hyundai repeatedly returned the car to me and claimed the issue was resolved but the issue kept reoccurring. On 12/28/19, the check engine light began flashing again with the exact same problems experienced 5/15/19 and 5/20/19. The check engine light appeared as soon as I exited the interstate and was driving on a city street. My car was returned to me on 12/31/19.

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.

I never received information regarding the recalls on my Hyundai Sonata 2011 vehicle. I was driving my Hyundai Sonata 2011 on 4/11/19, going about 60 miles an hour and the cut shut off. Was in heavy congested traffic and I was almost rear ended with no control of the Hyundai Sonata 2011vehicle. My Hyundai Sonata 2011 was moved to the side of the road where a tow truck was called. Subsequently, Hyundai Sonata 2011was taken to the huntington dealership. Dealer informed me there was 7 recalls of which I not aware of in regards Hyundai Sonata 2011 this could have been a life threaten situation and Hyundai should notified me of all recalls. This is unacceptable and life threating to family friends and community.

Takata recall . My girlfriend and I were driving when we were approaching a stop light when my esc light came on at 15 mph and my car �stalled� then shut off however my car was turned on. I was in still in �drive�and had four cars behind me. I proceeded to put my hazard lights on to let the other drivers pass by, put my car in park, then I turned the car off. After ten minutes I was able to turn the car on, proceeded to start to drive however the light remained on. I instantly noticed my car was slower than before I couldn't properly accelerate and the performance overall was just low. I am now afraid to go anywhere far with the car due to this experience luckily we were not in an accident this time. It's happened three more times since then. This was two weeks ago.
