| Description of the problem | Upon start up this morning, the esc off light turned on. This has happened intermittently over the past year, at least 4 times. I have taken it to the dealer, when the car was under warranty to be told not to worry about it unless the light simply did not turn off eventually. Each time the light has turned off after turning the car off and then restarting it. I am concerned that this has been an ongoing problem with the hyundais, yet the dealer never told me nor did they try to make a permanent fix to the problem. Now i am out of warranty and the problem continues. There was a recall prior to the 2009 hyundais for this same issue and wondering if so many people continue to be experiencing the same issue why there is not another recall. |
