2006 Hyundai SONATA Engine And Engine Cooling Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When accelerating from a stop or slow turn, "check engine" and "esc off" light come on. The vehicle acts as if it is in neutral, with no gas power or brake control, but the car is running and all other electrical functions are working (windows, radio, etc). It shimmies and shakes. You have to coast to the side of the road and restart numerous times to get it to run properly. The check engine light remains on for several hours and then shuts off. This started about 6 months after i purchased the used car in 2006, and is intermittent but still has the problem. It will act up several times a day for months then nothing. This should be considered a safety issue, having to stop in single lanes with no shoulders, on railroad tracks, or intersections and restart numerous times to get it running again. Took to merced ca hyundai they replaced tsp wiring, which did not help. Of course it appeared ok as it takes time for the problem to repeat. Have been unable to return to shop, with the inconvenience of having to take time off work, drive 30 miles to the dealer, and pay for car rental. I live in a rural area and bought a fairly new car to be reliable. This was not it.
