| Description of the problem | Headlights dim momentarily, radio goes off momentarily, passenger seat side kick panel relay goes "ticking" momentarily, car jerks momentarily when gas pedal is applied and gear is changed from 1 to 2 or 2 to 3 when i just start my journey (i. E. Just start the engine and start driving, usually). If gas pedal is released while any or all of these are happening, abs, brake and esc warning lights come on and stay on the dashboard. These warning lights remain on till the next time i start a new journey and will only go off if the problems mentioned above don't happen as the gear changes from 1 to 2 or 2 to 3. I've been to a hyundai dealer countless number of times. Alternator and battery has been replaced. Ground wires have been checked. They have no clue what is wrong with the electrical system. Please fix this. It has been a known problem and still is creating problems for hyundai sonata owners. |
