| Description of the problem | 2007 hyundai sonata se was recalled i think in 2008 for esc off light coming on while driving. Has been re-occurring for the last month or so. After turning engine off, light goes out and then comes back on while the vehicle is in motion. Pressing the esc switch has no affect. Brake lights work normally. My concern is that if i have to brake to avoid a problem while on wet slippery roads (lots of rain in my area), the esc would be of no use. This is a design/manufacturing defect that is still present in my vehicle and hyundai should continue to fix this problem at their expense for the life of the vehicle. |
