After researching this issue, it's been a common complain with various hyundai models, including…

This is actually my third complaint. I have spoken to hyundai no one will acknowledge that there is a problem. First my check engine light came on. I was told it was a fuel gauge sensor. I recently had them replaced now my car's check engine light is flashing and the car has stalled on me several times while in traffic or on the interstate. Hyundai is ignoring this. I think it's my fuel/ proposition system. I had a…

While driving my 2007 santa fe going apc. 30 mph my car tried to stop itself. This has happened before but then stopped for a few months. My esc light comes on each time. Thank god i wasn't on the interstate. I also have had the problem with my tire cupping. But my car trying to stop itself puts my life at risk. Something needs to be done before someone does get killed. *tr

The vehicle's esc will come on intermittently while driving and the vehicle appears to apply the brakes causing the vehicle to veer violently to the right (a very scary and potentially dangerous situation, especially at higher speeds.) the vehicle was brought to freehold hyundai shortly after i purchased it in 2007 and it took over a week to presumably diagnose and fix the problem. This is an intermittent problem…

My experience and observation is same what is explain in the earlier post. I car does have brake light switch failure which was not covered under the recall. Unfortunately i have shell out $70 from pocket to fix it. The hyundai dealer (hyundai mark zimmerman) charged me $291 for fixing the tps and programming the ecm. When i would begin acceleration the vehicle would hesitate then take off rapidly then i would loose…

Cruise control would turn on but not allow a speed to be set. Also esc off light remained on dash solid. We never received any notice of a recall from hyundai. I see numerous other hyundai owners who have had this problem.also the check engine light has been on and won't turn off no matter how many times the cap is taken off then put back on after three turns. Fuel reads empty when tank is full. *tr

While driving at 35 mph, accelerator suddenly did no longer respond and "check engine" and esc warning lit up and speed decreased. I was able to coast at 5-10 mph to the nearest dealer 8 miles away. They immediately diagnosed it to the tps unit (throttle position sensor), which was replaced under an extended warranty. However this is the second incident with this car. The first time happened in october 2007 just a…
