Four problems related to electronic stability control have been reported for the 2011 Hyundai Tucson. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2011 Hyundai Tucson based on all problems reported for the 2011 Tucson.
Incline and traction control lights illuminated on dash, signaling an electrical problem. Discovered that exterior brake lights failed to illuminate upon depression of brake peddle, or would work intermittently. Also discovered that while the vehicle was in this condition, the car would not allow the gear shift to go into park. This was a very dangerous condition for this vehicle and could have resulted in the vehicle being rear ended due to the inoperable brake light indicators.
The downhill brake control (dbc) indicator and the electronic stabilty control (esc) lights come on while car is in operation for no apparent reason - driving normal speed - about 45 mph, in normal dry road conditions. When I go to stop the car, the shift lever gets stuck and cannot put in park. It takes a few tries at jiggling the shift lever and jiggling key in ignition to get it to go into park. After shutting off engine, restart is normal with the dbc and esc lights no longer on. This has happened at least 10 times since original time I noticed it a few months ago. Due to death in the family and other issues, have not been able to take it into to dealer since the first occurance I noticed in March. I'm taking it in tomorrow and will advise.
Today I was out in my 2011 Hyundai Tucson. Two of the lights came on the dash, one is for traction control and the other had to do with hills(sorry my car is at the dealer and I don't have the book to tell you the exact light description; one is orange with a vehicle and little skid marks after it the other is red with a vehicle going down a steep hill). I went to stop at a store and my car would not go into park from drive, the farthest I could get it was in neutral. After messing with it for 5 minutes I finally got the car into park. After leaving that store I went to go to another and had the same issue. I immediately called the dealer for service and took my vehicle there. I have done some searching online and see that this is not a new issue with Tucsons as people with older models(2010 and back) have also had the same issue and some of them report it's due to a bad break switch and once it was replaced they didn't have the problem again. My car was purchased in Feb of 2011 and has approximately 6600 miles.
2011 Hyundai tuscon speed sensor wires located behind tires. Wire is fully exposed to any road debree, easliy severed which effects abs and traction control. Wire sticks out 3 inches in open air of the under carrage, also located close enough to the tires that if they kick up any debree it is in the direct path of the wire. Not heavy duty rap over the wire and could be broken by gripping by hand and pulling on it.
