Consumer Description

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.
