| Description of the problem | My car started having problems in may that when i look them up, are listed as issues that have been recalled by hyundai yet when i contacted hyundai these were not open recalls on my vehicle. My abs/esc light comes on and off. If i turn my car off and re-start it then the light will be gone, only to come on again at some point when i'm driving. I just got new brakes in january and my brakes seem to be working fine. The only time i was concerned was during a road trip when the light was off, but came on when i slammed on my brakes on the highway. My air bag light came on around the same time the brake light started consistently coming on. This light does not go away. I have also been told that i have a back break light that is out yet when i took it to get a new bulb it was working just fine. Then the next day when backing up, i could see my car's reflection in a window and that light was out, indicating some sort of electrical short. To top it all off, my check engine light came on today and i will be taking my car in this afternoon to see what that is. My car is up to date on all maintenance. In the last 7 months i have had new brakes, new spark plugs, and a new battery. I'm not sure why these lights are on but it is very frustrating to see recalls for some of these issues, and they just aren't on my car specifically. |
