Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING ABOUT 60 MPH, AND SUDDENLY THE ESC OFF LIGHT CAME ON AND I COULD NOT ABLE TO SWITCH IT OFF WITH ESC CONTROL BUTTON. ITS QUIET FREQUENT NOW WHENEVER CAR TOUCHES 60 MPH AND SOMETIME IT AUTOMATICALLY COMES WITHIN CITY DRIVING 30-40 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO WHEEL WORKS FOR THE CHECKUP AND THEY SUGGESTED TO GET IT CHECKED WITH DEALER AS IT COULD BE A SIGN OF A BIGGER PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO READ SEVERAL FORUMS AND COME TO KNOW THAT MANY CONSUMERS ARE FACING SIMILAR PROBLEM AND IT COULD BE RELATED TO ACCELERATOR PEDAL OR BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS ALSO KNOWN PROBLEM TO HYUNDAI BUT THEY ARE NOT DOING A RECALL FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP IN ASSISTING ON THIS PROBLEM AND YOUR URGENT ACTION WILL BE APPRECIATED. *TR
