2006 HYUNDAI AZERA Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

LIGHT FOR BRAKES, ABS, ECO ARE ON BRAKES WAS DONE

ANY TIME I LET MY FOOT OFF THE GAS THE CAR DASHBOARD LIGHTS DIM, THE RADIO LOSES VOLUME, AND THE HEADLIGHTS DIM. THIS IS ALL VERY NOTICABLE. RECENTLY THE CAR WOULD SOMETIMES FEEL AS THOUGH THE BRAKES HAD BEEN STOMPED ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I GET AND ABS SYSTEM FAILURE ALERT ON THE DASHBOARD AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON. A COUPLE OF TIMES THIS HAPPENED IT HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. BECAUSE IT TURNED OFF I DIDN'T HAVE POWER STEERING, SO I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY ENGINE. THIS HAPPENS AS I'M DRIVING, I NOTICED IT HAPPENS WHEN IT SHIFTS DOWN GEARS. SOMETIMES WHEN I ACCELERATE AND THE CAR SHIFT GEARS UP IT CAN HAPPEN AS WELL. I FOUND A NOTICE ABOUT A RECALL ON THESE CARS FOR THE ABS MODULE SYSTEM ISSUE. RECALL #172.

WHILE DRIVING ON US 95 AT NIGHT MY ENGINE STOPPED RUNING. I WAS TRAVING AT 65 MPH.AT THE TIME. THE CAR WAS TOWED AND LATER INSPECTED. THE INSPECTION REVEALED THAT ALTERNATOR HAD FAILED BECAUSE OIL HAD LEAKED FROM THE VALVE COVER GASKETS DIRECTLY ONTO THE ALTERNATOR WHICH CAUSED IT TO FAIL. THIS FAILURE ALSO AFFECTED THE POWER STEERING & MY LIGHTS AS WELL . I WAS FORTUNATE THAT MY CAR WAS NOT STRUCK AS THE TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY. .

AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLORE UNTIL AFTER THE CAR FULLY STOPPED BUT THE SEAT BELT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE TIGHTEN CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL I GOT A BLEED INJURY INSIDE MY RIGHT BREAST THE RIGHTING STOPPED ONLY AFTER I WAS ABKE TO RELEASE IT THEN AFTERWARDS THE AIRBAG DEPLORED ONLY IN THE DRIVERS SIDE NO OTHER AIRBAGS CAME OUT DURING THIS ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE ESC LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE DASH WILL READ "ESC OFF" AND THE CAR WILL NOT FUNCTION;LOOSES ALL POWER. NO STEERING CONTROL, NO RADIO, NO LIGHTS, NO BRAKES, THE CAR LOOSES ALL FUNCTIONING ABILITY. I HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE SWITCH OFF, WAIT 5 TO 10 MINUTES AND THEN THE CAR WILL START AND RUN UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. NO PATTERN TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAR HAS HAD MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SINCE WE PURCHASED IT IN 2008. HARMONIC BALANCER REPLACED, START SENSOR REPLACED, CAM SENSOR REPLACED, THE SHIFTER WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT PUSHING IN THE SAFETY RELEASE, AND THE LIGHTS CUT ON/OFF ALL THE TIME. VERY UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS COLD OR WHEN IT HAD LESS THAN A HALF A TANK IN GAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ESC LIGHT WOULD COME ON. I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IT WAS AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL. I WOULD PUSH THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING, IT WOULD NOT REV. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I WOULD HAVE TO CONTINUE TO TURN OFF AND ON THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE ESC LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF AND THE CAR WOULD REV ON IT OWN. *TR

CASE NUMBER 3180238. I'M DONE WITH THE CAR BUT I DON'T WANT TO TRADE A VEHICLE WHICH MIGHT CAUSE AND ACCIDENT AND GET SOMEONE HURT OR WORSE. *TR
