| Description of the problem | On multiple occasions i have had difficulties with the esc in my car. The first time the esc light came on and caused the car to not shift out of reverse. After multiple attempts, it finally worked but the esc had to be fixed. In summer 2010 i was driving down the road and the esc light came on, the car completely stopped in the middle of the road, steering locked up, and no power to accelerate the car. I had to turn the car completely off (while still in the middle of a busy road) and turn the car back on. I took it straight to the dealership and they again replaced the esc stating the button needed replaced. After almost a year, last week i was driving down the road again and the exact same thing happened to the car. This time, the dealer states its throttle position sensor and accelerator pedal issue and both are going to be replaced. I reviewed information on the internet for the same issues i was having and found that the hyundai sonata 2007 model has several complaints for the same reason and the car stopping, locking up with no steering, and having to shut the vehicle off and back on to get it working. At this point, while they are telling me the car is fixed and safe, i do not trust or feel comfortable driving. The safety feature of the esc has now become a safety hazard and i cannot trust it will not happen again. |
