2012 HYUNDAI SONATA Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

THE EPS JUST CAME ON WHEN I CRUNK MY CAR UP YESTERDAY EVENING. THE SEATVELT LIGHT BEEN ON ABOUT A WEEK NOW

THIS STARTED MAY 1, 2020...REAR BRAKE LIGHTS CONSTANTLY STAY ON WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF, SEATBELTS AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON 2 DAYS THEREAFTER ON DASHBOARD, THEN ESC INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON 1 DAY THEREAFTER ON DASHBOARD. *TR

THE ABS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON. TODAY MY BRAKES JUST LOCKED UP AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

IN MOTION GOING 20 MPH PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT ACCIDENT. AIR BAG BUSTED ON MY HEAD, BACK, AND RIGHT SIDE OF MY FACE. WITH A POWDERY SHARP FILM ON ME. AIR BAG RECALL WAS NOT FIXED BY THE DEALERSHIP. I REPORTED IT TO HYUNDAI WHICH LEAD TO COUNTLESS EMAIL WITH NO REPAIRS MADE. SEAT AND DOOR PANEL IS RUINED WITH A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD THAT HAS SPREAD. ENGINE HAD BEEN STALLING AND PRODUCING WHITE SMOKE FROM THE TAILPIPES. WHILE IN MOTION CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON. DASH BOARD LIGHTS UP GOES OFF COMES ON DISPLAYS KEY NOT IN VEHICLE WHEN THE KEY IS IN THE ARMREST PLUGGED IN. BRAKE PEDAL FREEZES UP PREVENTING THE CAR TO START. RADIO DOES NOT WORK CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKS ON AND OFF WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION. REACH OUT TO HYUNDAI WEBB ON ROUTE 30 IN...

IN JULY 2019 I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOBODY IN THE CAR AT THAT TIME. FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS THE BRAKE LIGHT WERE TUNING ON EVEN WHEN I WAS NOT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. IN THE SAME TIME THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL STARTED TO TAKE OVER AND IT REFUSED TO ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. THE ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT WORK WAS TO DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN PRESS IT AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC BECAUSE IT WAS BEHAVING VERY STRANGE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS A RUBBER STOPPER THAT KEPT THE BREAK PEDAL IN PLACE. WHEN IT IS WORN, IT BEHAVES AS IF SOMEBODY TRIED TO HIT THE BREAK. AFTER THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS RECALL 136 THE ACCURATELY...

WAS GETTING READY TO MOVE FROM NC TO LA. DURING ACCELERATION ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN MOTION, STUMBLED AND THEN DIED SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. HAD A HARD TIME STEERING AND BRAKING, BUT LUCKILY THERE WAS NO VEHICLE AROUND. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC SHOP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE ENGINE AS FAILING/SEIZED. RECALL 132 WAS PERFORMED, BUT ENGINE WAS NOT REPLACED AND ONLY INSPECTED. RECALL DESCRIPTION : GDI ENGINE INSPECTION/REPLACEMENT. ; COMPLETED : MAY 23, 2018

AIRBAG LIGHT DOES NOT GO AWAY. NO ACCIDENT. HEADLIGHT AND BRAKELIGHT BURNS OUT EVERY 6-8 MONTHS.

ON JUNE 22TH, 2019 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA GLS AND I HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND UNDER MY HOOD AND MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO I PULLED OVER TO BE SAFE. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE BUT THE TIME OF ARRIVAL WAS TWO PLUS HOURS. SINCE I WAS WITHIN A HALF MILE OF MY HOME I CONTINUED ON. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH BENTLEY HYUNDAI IN HUNTSVILLE, AL FOR JUNE 24TH, 2019. MY CAR SAT FOR 2 DAYS BECAUSE IT WAS THE WEEKEND AND BENTLEY HYUNDAI SERVICE WAS CLOSED. THE MORNING OF JUNE 24TH, 2019 MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START SO I HAD IT TOWED TO BENTLEY HYUNDAI. I ASK CHRIS ERICKSON SERVICE ADVISOR WAS THERE ANY SERVICE CAMPAIGNS OR RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE SINCE I HAD MANY OTHERS FOR MY HYUNDAI SONATA GLS RECENTLY. AFTER ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES HE CAME BACK AND SAID NO...

WHEN I TRY TO PRESS ON THE GAS IT SEEN LIKE IT'S TRYING TO SLOW DOWN HELP I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOING ON.

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR IDLING. AS FAR AS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SOMETIMES IT WILL GO OFF, I HAVE TO STOP MY CAR, PULL THE FUSE PANEL AND UNPLUG SOMETHING, WAIT A FEW MINUTES THEN PUSH IT BACK IN AND THEN MY RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC WORK AGAIN. THE ELECTRICAL HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL YEARS OFF AND ON. THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYING ON IS IN IT'S SECOND WEEK. I JUST REPLACED MY BATTERY AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON.

I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS AN ENGINE PROBLEM. WHEN I WOULD TAKE OFF IN MY CAR, I ACCELERATE AND AFTER I STARTED GOING, I COULD PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT HAD NO POWER, IT WOULD ALMOST COMPLETELY STALL IN THE ROAD. I LET OFF GAS AND PUSH AGAIN AND IT WOULD REGAIN POWER AND DRIVE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, NO LOW OIL, NO SERVICE LIGHTS AT ALL. ALL OF THE GAUGES IN THE DASH RED GREAT AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. I STARTED MY CAR ONE DAY AND IT STARTED MAKING THIS CHIRPING NOISE, ALMOST LIKE A BIRD CHIRPING WHEN I ACCELERATE, BUT ONCE I GOT UP IN SPEED THE CHIRPING STOPPED. I THEN STARTED MY CAR AND THERE WAS A CLICKING, TICKING TYPE NOISE THAT GOT WORSE AFTER 2 DAYS. I TOOK THE CAR TO A SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT...

I HAVE NOW HAD TWO MAJOR ISSUES WITH MY HYBRID. THE FIRST WAS 5 MONTHS AGO. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE INTERSTATE, WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN HE LOST POWER AND THE ENGEN STARTED SMOKING AND MAKE HORRIBLE NOISES. WE HAD A ROD THROWN THROUGH THE ENGINE AND HAD TO REPLACE IT ($3200). THEN ON FRIDAY MORNING I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND THE HYBRID WARNING SYSTEM STARTED GOING OFF. I HAD MY MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE TOLD ME I WILL NEED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION, HE ALSO SAID THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRIDS. IT IS ABOUT A $4000 REPLACEMENT. PLEASE HELP THOSE OF US THAT PUT OUR TRUST IN THIS VEHICLE AND ARE NOW PAYING FOR IT.

MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP FOR DIAGNOSING. THE CODE P1326 CAME UP AND NOBODY CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. MY CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND TAKE A MINUTE TO SHIFT GEARS AND DRIVE PROPERLY. THERE HAS BEEN OPEN COMMUNICATION ON THE ISSUE BY OTHER PEOPLE.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 HYNDAI SONATA DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING ON VACATION MY KIDS AND I AND IT GAVE ME A WARNING SIGN TO STOP DRIVING PUTTING US ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 5 HOURS MY HAZARD LIGHTS STOP WORKING AND THE CAR WENT COMPLETELY DEAD AFTER A LONG CRAZY NIGHT TRYING TO GET HELP OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I HAD PUT A NEW ALTERNATOR AND BELT ON BECAUSE THE BELT CAUGHT FIRE BUT IT'S STILL ISN'T STARTING NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON WHAT DO I DO?

2012 2.0T LIMITED WITH 95K. 12-18-18, WHILE DRIVING FROM AUSTIN TO HOUSTON TX VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION ON THE HIGHWAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, ALONG WITH THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE LIGHT (WHICH COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY AND DEALERSHIP YET TO DEFINE PROBLEM), AND ABRUPTLY GOES FROM 75 TO 0 MPH. VEHICLE WILL NOT RESPOND TO ANY ACCELERATION AND I HAVE TO FIND A WAY FROM THE FREEWAY TO FEEDER WITHOUT POWER. INOPERABLE. LIMPED THREE MILES WITH POLICE ESCORT. CAR TOWED. DEALERSHIP CANNOT DUPLICATE ISSUE. I MAKE THEM KEEP VEHICLE TO INVESTIGATE. THEY GET A CODE ERROR AND CHANGE OUT THE ECM FOR A MERE $1400. MEANWHILE, I MUST FIND TRANSPORTATION IN A CITY I DO NOT LIVE AND RENT A CAR FOR A WEEK. RETRIEVED VEHICLE. 2 WEEKS LATER, TRAVELING TO HOUSTON ON 12-26, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE; SPITTING, FEELS LIKE NO GAS GETTING TO ENGINE,...

STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE AND RATTLE AFTER RENTING A CERTAIN SPEED LIMIT. MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD SAFELY HYUNDAI NEED TO STOP BEING SO [XXX] CHEAP AND PUT A RECALL OUT ON THIS [XXX] BECAUSE I KNOW MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS, YOU SHOULD LOOK IT UP ONLINE AND YOU WILL BE SURPRISED AT ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT ARE OUT THERE ABOUT THIS STEERING WHEEL PROBLEM!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE IN USE, THE CAR RANDOMLY LOSES POWER, HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF, ENTIRE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING, THEN AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, POWERS BACK ON. THE LIGHTS, ENGINE, EVERYTHING TURNS OFF. ALSO, WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE IN USE, CRUISE CONTROL AND STABILITY DO NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THIS HAS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREETS. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE TWO NEAREST DEALERS AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE VEHICLE. GENERALLY, THIS HAPPENS WHEN BRAKING, USING TURN SIGNALS, CHANGING TO HI BEAM/LOW BEAM, BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED FOR NO REASON AT ALL.

VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING NO LWARNING LIGHTS

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2015. RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY ACCELERATOR I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT JUST STOPS ACCELERATING IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND PRESS DOWN AGAIN IT KICKS BACK IN, IT DID THAT SEVERAL TIMES. THE OTHER DAY I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I TURNED THE CORNER IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PRESSED BACK DOWN AND IT WENT. I SEARCHED THE ISSUE AND I BELIEVE IT IS MY WASTEGATE ACTUATOR SENSOR. I'VE READ SEVERAL FORUMS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND I HAVE ALSO SEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE SAY THAT IT WAS A RECALL ON THEIR VEHICLE. I CALLED TODAY AND SEARCHED RECALLS ON MY CAR. IT IS NOT LISTED AS A RECALL.

BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL TO LIGHT WHEN NEEDED. ALSO, THE ESC ALERT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THE ESC LIGHT COMES ON, THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. HOWEVER, THE BRAKE LAMPS HAVE NOT WORKED WHEN THE ESC IS NOT ON. SEEMS RELATED BUT NOT ENTIRELY EXCLUSIVE. DO KNOW THAT THERE WAS A BRAKE LAMP DEFECT FOR THE 2006-07 HYUNDAI SONATAS AND THERE WAS A RECALL. THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

THE AIRBAGS IIGHT STAYED ON WHENEVER THE VEHICLE STOP. WHEN I ACCELERATE IT TURN OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THE AIR BAG AND ESC WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS CONTACTED. AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE SIMPLY A NOTICE THAT AIR BAG WAS NOT ENABLED. NO PROBABLE PROBLEM! THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,580. *TR*JB

POWER STEERING AND NON-REQUESTED ACTIVATION OF TRACTION CONTROL_ I WAS PULLING INTO MY CARPORT ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO WHEN I LOST POWER STEERING ON MY CAR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN THE NEXT DAY. THE NEXT DAY THE POWER STEERING WORKED AS NORMAL SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK AND THEY SUGGESTED TO BRING THE CAR IN IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS LEAVING MY DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT ON JUNE 12TH AND THE CAR HAD NO POWER STEERING AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM I WAS NEARBY AND I WAS ON MY WAY TO THEM. I GOT ABOUT 200 FEET FROM THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE WHEN MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND I COULDN'T CONTROL THE STEERING. LUCKILY IT WAS A 35 MPH SPEED ZONE SO I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER QUICKLY. I THOUGHT THE ENGINE...

THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON 3/14/17 AND REMAIN ON FROM 7:00PM TO 8:00 PM AND THEN WENT OFF BY ITSELF. ON 3/13/ 17 IN THE MORNING I WAS 40 MIN TO WORK AND WHEN I ARRIVED TO MY DESTINATION OF WORK I CONTINUE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL WHILE DRIVING BUT THE CAR SLOWED DOWN LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF, SO I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR, AFTER DOING THIS I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR NORMAL BUT WITH HESITATION. IN AUGUST I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING, SO I PRESS THE BUTTON FOR IGNITION BUT IT WOULD NOT START THIS WOULD HAPPEN OFTEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DETECT THE PROBLEM WHICH THEY ALSO KEPT THE CAR OVERNIGHT BUT DID NOT...

I PURCHASED A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA FROM SMITTY'S AUTO SALES IN DES MOINES IOWA ON 2-24-2017 AND WAS TOLD CAR HAD CLEAN TITLE AND 70,000 MILES. I NOTICED THE ODO SAID 26, AND ASKED THE DEALER HE SAID IT WAS THE TRIP NOT ACTUAL MILES. I WAS SCEPTICAL ABOUT CAR SO I CALLED BACK THE NEXT DAY TO SEE IF THIS CAR HAD SALVAGE TITLE THEIR CRAIGLIST AD SAID CLEAN TITLE WHICH WAS FALSE. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS A SALVAGE BY FLOOD AND THAT THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T WORK. I WAS ANGRY ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK FOR FALSE ADVERTISING AND AUTO FRAUD THEY KNEW AIR BAGS WERE NOT WORKING AND THE VEHICLE HAD OUTSTANDING RECALLS AND DIDN'T DISCLOSE ANY OF THIS IN WRITING. WHAT CAN I DO?

LAST WEEK, MY POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE EPS DASHBOARD TROUBLE LIGHT AS WELL AS THE AIRBAG AND ESC LAMPS ALL ILLUMINATED AT THE SAME TIME. THANKFULLY, THERE WAS LIGHT TRAFFIC AT THE TIME SO WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE TO REGAIN MY COMPOSURE. USING EXTREME CAUTION, I DROVE THE NEXT FEW MILES BACK HOME CAREFULLY AVOIDING ANY SUDDEN SITUATIONS WHERE I WAS FORCED TO MAKE SHARP TURNS. I HAD AN EXTREMELY HARD TIME STEERING. YESTERDAY, I TOOK THE VEH INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS, THEY SAID THE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THAT SOMEHOW IT WAS ALSO CAUSING ALL THE OTHER UNRELATED TROUBLE LAMPS TO LIGHT AT THE SAME TIME!. APPROX. $1200 REPAIR COST. THE VEH IS 2012 WITH 82,000 MILES. I ASKED IF IT WAS COVERED...

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTER WORK ON FRIDAY AROUND 2130, I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY ABOUT 65-70MPH WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS DECLINING IN SPEED WITHOUT ME LETTING UP ON THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS IN A FAIR AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC WITH A SEMI BEHIND ME, I PRESSED DOWN FURTHER ON THE GAS PEDAL TO TRY AND INCREASE SPEED WHILE LOOKING FOR A WAY TO SAFELY GET OFF OF THE EXPRESSWAY. THE CAR INITIALLY DID NOT SPEED BACK UP, AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10-15 SECONDS, IT SPED BACK UP. THE CAR DID THIS THREE TIMES DURING MY, NORMALLY 25 MINUTE, DRIVE HOME. THIS WAS EXTREMELY SCARY, ESPECIALLY BEING IN HEAVY CHICAGO TRAFFIC. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING SATURDAY MORNING AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT CHECKED. THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT WAS TODAY, TUESDAY, AND I HAD THE VEHICLE THERE AT 0700. THE VEHICLE WAS SCANNED AND...

NO FIX AS CAR CONTINUALLY DOES NOT ACCELERATE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE - ON THE HIGHWAY OR WHEN GETTING READY TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC - VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI CORP CONCERNING THIS ISSUE SINCE 2015. SAVANNAH HYUNDAI SERVICE MANAGER MIKE TOLD US THAT WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO RETURN FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY GOT FRUSTRATED TRYING TO FIGURE OUT. BREAK LIGHT NEVER WORKS. HAD THIS REPAIRED 3 TIMES. SAVANNAH HYUNDAI PUT NEW SUNROOF ON. FOUR MONTHS LATER IT WONT OPEN OR CLOSE. WE HAVE PAID FOR EVERYTHING OVER AND OVER AND OVER USING OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND COPAYS.

I WAS IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 40 MPH, NOT YET UP TO THE 45 SPEED LIMIT. THERE WERE CARS ALL AROUND ME AND I HAD TO PHYSICALLY FORCE MY CAR TO RIGHT WITH MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON. I WAS LUCKY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN ON MY WAY TO GET MY CHILD FROM SCHOOL, OR AFTER. OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SITUATION.
