| Description of the problem | Last week i was driving and the esc indicator light randomly came on on my dashboard. Later, after i tried to shut it off by pressing the esc button which did not work, i tried to adjust the volume on my radio using the steering wheel controls. Instead of adjusting the volume down it went to the bluetooth for my cell phone. Next day no further issues. No warning/indicator lights came on, car functioned normally. Two days later esc light came back on. Stopped at the store and when i came back out i noticed my brake lights were on. Drove home, parked in the driveway and again, brake lights remained on even after car was off, lights were turned to the off position and there was no possible way for them to remain on. Had to disconnect my battery for the night. Next day noticed recall for 2011 sonatas for the same issue. Called hyundai and they stated my vin is not part of the recall, so they can |
