| Description of the problem | My experience and observation is same what is explain in the earlier post. I car does have brake light switch failure which was not covered under the recall. Unfortunately i have shell out $70 from pocket to fix it. The hyundai dealer (hyundai mark zimmerman) charged me $291 for fixing the tps and programming the ecm. When i would begin acceleration the vehicle would hesitate then take off rapidly then i would loose power to a speed of @ 25 miles per hour and the esc off switch would appear on the dashboard followed by the check engine light. I safely pulled over and turned the vehicle off for about 30 seconds. Once i turned the vehicle back on, the dashboard lights would go out and i would repeat this cycle 8-9 times before being able to drive normally. On several occasions after driving normally for about 10 miles the esc off light would reappear on the dashboard in my opinion this is a serious malfunction and certainly dangerous combination and should be labeled as a recall. Hyundai should value the safety and expectations of their car buyers. Thanks! |
