| Description of the problem | I was driving to work on saturday, february 21st on route 140 west in westminster, md. I was driving about 45 miles per hour when the car suddenly lunged forward and pulled to the right. This happened without warning and no lights came on the dashboard this time -- previously the "esc off" light would come on. Again, this morning, february 24th on my way down a hill to work, the car felt as though it was going to stall. This time the esc light was flickering. I believe there is a defect with the car and will report each incident. I am also sending a letter to hyundai motor vehicles eastern region office. |
