ESC IS INTERMITTENTLY TURNING ITSELF OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHEN I AM DRIVING. HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN I FIRST START DRIVING AND AM AT A VERY LOW SPEED, BUT ALSO HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS AT TIMES. ONLY WAY TO TURN IT BACK ON IS TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RE-START. IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY OVER THE LAST WEEK (ALMOST A DAILY OCCURRENCE).

BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON, STABILITY CONTROL IS TURNED OFF AND CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO VEHICLES FOLLOWING, A LACK OF VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL, AN INABILITY TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT SPEED ON THE FREEWAY. THERE HAS BEEN A HISTORIC RECALL ON THIS ISSUE - BUT NOT FOR THIS SPECIFIC VIN. THIS VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY IS USING THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART. BATTERY RUNS DOWN AND VEHICLE WON'T START UNLESS BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED (DUE TO BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINING ON)

THE ELECTROIN STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) FUNCTION ON MY 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE HAS BEGUN FAILING SINCE APRIL 2018. THE WARNING LIGHT WILL RANDOMLY COME ON BETTER THAN HALFO OF THE TIME WE OPERATE THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A PUSH-BUTTON SWITCH THAT ALLOWS MANUAL CONTROL OF THIS FEATURE THAT NOW DOES NOTHING. THIS FAILURE SHOWS TO BE PART OF A VOLUNTARY RECALL OF 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE VEHICLES - SEE NHSTA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 13V1130000 (HYUNDAI # 110). CHECKING WITH HYUNDAI, THEY INDICATE MY VEHILE VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL THOUGH THE DESCRIPTION OF THE FAILURE MATCHES WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE CAN OCCUR AT START UP, SHORTLY AFTER BEGINNING DRIVING, WHILE DRIVING, OR NOT AT ALL.

FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY TO FIX. I ASKED IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MASSEY HYUNDAI AND THEY TOLD ME YES THIS IS A CURRENT ISSUE, AND COULD NOT BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DANGEROUS. SO ON 3.9.17 AS A RESULT OF NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE PRICE. MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT ONCE WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR AND CRASHED. AND A SECOND TIME WHILE TURNING INTO WORK ROAD AND STALLING OUT AGAIN MID TURN AND ALMOST TURNING INTO A DITCH. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THEY HAD TO DO BOTH BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T SURE WHICH ONE IT IS. IF NOT FIXED COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, WELL IF THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MOST HYUNDAI VEHICLES THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE COMPANY WHO MAKES IT NOT THE PEOPLE WHO BUY FAULTY PRODUCTS.

HYUNDAI SANTA FE ESC LIGHT POPS ON INTERMITTENTLY AND AFTER PUSHING THE ON/OFF SWITCH DOES NOT PUT IT OUT. "ESC " LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATES ON THE DASHBOARD THE FRONT TIRES KIND OF LOCK UP WITH A GRINDING SOUND AND THE CAR VIOLENTLY TRYING TO STOP IT SELF AND I WAS GOING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET.

WHILE DRIVING, I NOTICED THE ESC OFF LIGHT WAS ON. I WAS STILL ON LOW SPEED RESIDENTIAL ROAD. PUSHING ON THE ESC ON BUTTON DIDNT DO ANYTHING. I HAD TO FIND A PLACE TO STOP. EVENTUALLY I TURN OFF MY CAR AND RESTARTED, ITS GONE. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY AND AGAIN TODAY. LOOKING INTO WHAT COULD BE THE CAUSE, I SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS AFFECTING SAFE DRIVING BECAUSE OF THIS LIGHTING UP ON ITS OWN AND I MOSTLY DRIVE HIGHWAY.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN MY ESC OFF LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY CAR SLOWED DOWN TO 20 MPH AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SPEED UP AT ALL ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE SMASHED INTO SEVERAL TIMES!! I SHUT MY CAR OFF AND RE STARTED IT AND I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY TO SOMEPLACE SAFE. I AM HAVING MY MECHANIC LOOK AT IT NOW BUT AFTER LOOKING ON FORUMS, I SEE IT IS PROBABLY THE TPS AND I SEE THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN! WHY IS THIS NOT RECALLED?!?! THIS IS BEYOND A SAFETY ISSUE!

MY SANTA FE ESC LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WENT INTO A "LIMP MODE". IT SLOWED DOWN TO 10 MPH AND WOULDN'T LET ME ACCELERATE. I PULLED OVER AND I COULD FEEL THE ENGINE SPUTTERING. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED A MINUTE, TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. HAPPENED THE NEXT DAY AS WELL , NOW WHEN I DRIVE WHETHER ITS A COLD START OR AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE. I TOOK IT TO TE DEALER AND $350 DOLLARS LATER IHAD THE PROBLEM FIXED, TURNED OUT TO BE A THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT I FEEL NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY HYUNDAI IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE EARLY IN THE MORNING AND I WAS TRAVELLING ON THE INSIDE LANE AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY OR MY WIFE AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED.

THIS IS ACTUALLY MY THIRD COMPLAINT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO HYUNDAI NO ONE WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. FIRST MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FUEL GAUGE SENSOR. I RECENTLY HAD THEM REPLACED NOW MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FLASHING AND THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME SEVERAL TIMES WHILE IN TRAFFIC OR ON THE INTERSTATE. HYUNDAI IS IGNORING THIS. I THINK IT'S MY FUEL/ PROPOSITION SYSTEM. I HAD A TUNE-UP THE CAR SHAKES LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL CONSTANTLY. I CAN SMELL THE FUEL FROM INSIDE OF THE CAR. I CANNOT BELIEVE AFTER ALL THE COMPLAINTS THEY STILL SAY THAT THE CARS AFFECTED WERE EITHER ONLY 2006 MODELS OR WERE NEVER SOLD. THAT'S A LIE. THEY'VE HAD OVER FOUR HUNDRED COMPLAINTS AND THREE YEARS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

BOUGHT THE CAR USED, 2007 SANTA FE WITH 71K MILES ON IT. 2 MONTHS AFTER I GOT THE VEHICLE, THE ESC OFF LIGHT STARTED INTERMITTENTLY COMING ON. THEN ONE DAY IT STAYED ON AND THAT SAME DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I NOTICED THE NEXT DAY THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE AND THAT MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT ENGAGE AT ALL. THE ESC OFF LIGHT WILL NOT BE ON WHEN I FIRST GET IN THE CAR, BUT THE MINUTE I HIT THE BRAKES, IT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. EVER SINCE THE FIRST DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, IT HAS STAYED ON SINCE. I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE PART OF AN EARLIER RECALL, BUT MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE DID NOT FALL UNDER THAT RECALL.

I OWN A 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE AIR BAG LIGHT, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT, THE ELECTRIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) LIGHT , ABS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED STEADILY ON THE DASH, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON.

MY ESC OFF LIGHT COMES OFF AND ON, INTERMITTENTLY WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THEY BOTH GO OFF AND ON RANDOMLY. THE ESC OFF LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF WHEN PUSHED. I CANNOT TELL IF THE ESC FEATURE IS ENGAGED OR NOT. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW. IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND IN THE SHOP WHENEVER A FIX WAS NEEDED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, IT'S BEEN A COMMON COMPLAIN WITH VARIOUS HYUNDAI MODELS, INCLUDING MINE. UPON SPEAKING WITH HYUNDAI USA, VARIOUS CARS ON THIS LINE HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. MINE WAS NOT ONE ON LINE THAT WAS NOTED, HOWEVER THE ISSUE IS EXACTLY THE SAME. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI USA LAST WEEK. MY ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TAKE IT TO A NEARBY DEALER AND PAY THEM TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC WORK UP OUT OF POCKET. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM HAS POTENTIAL FOR SAFETY ISSUES. I BOUGHT MY CAR WITH THE ESC SAFETY FEATURE. NOW I CAN'T TELL IF IT'S ENGAGED OR NOT AS I CANNOT GET THE LIGHT TO GO OFF.
