| Description of the problem | I have a problem with the esc unit. I can be driving down the road and the right hand front break will all of a sudden at radium grab and jerk the car to the right. This problem has occurred at speeds ranging from 35 to 70 mph. I have taken the car to the hyundai dealership 3 or 4 time to get the problem fixed and have spent $1,300. 00 and they still haven't fixed the problem. I am being told we don't find anything wrong. We never know when it is going to happen and i can only hope that it doesn't happen when in a situation that it causes someone to get hurt or killed. I have asked that either disconnect the esc system or reverse it so that it is not on until you need it and the hyundai service people say that can't be done. I do not believe that is correct but they are the smart people on the car. I will tell you this if this problem causes an accident that someone gets hurt i will be seeking an attorney and notifying the insurance of the problem and the fact that hyundai has not fixed the problem. Please help me with this problem. Thanks |
