| Description of the problem | During normal left hand and right hand turns and u-turns, the tc/esc can activate and cause the engine management system to significantly reduce engine power. This happens on dry pavement, under normal acceleration. It will also happen more frequently during turns if there is a bump/pothole/road imperfection that jars the suspension. This issue is dangerous and has nearly caused accidents. I have had to pull off the road to avoid a collision from the rear because the engine had no power, the tc/esc light was flashing on the dash. So far my attempts at the dealer to have this fixed have been unsuccessful. I am working with hyundai consumer affairs to determine a solution. |
