2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Electronic Stability Control Esc Service Brakes Problems

SENSORS -ARE BAD. HAVE TO TURN OFF ESC TO KEEP FROM ABS PULLING ME OFF THE ROAD. FEELS LIKE BRAKES ARE FALLING OUT. SOMEONE ELSE I SAW SAID SHE HAD SAME ISSUE. I PAID OVER $2,000 TO GET BRAKES FIXED AT DEALERSHIP-NEVER FIXED ISSUE. I TURN OFF BUTTON ONLY GIVE ME A CHANCE TO DRIVE.

WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKES, THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ABS WILL ACTIVATE WHETHER SLOWING AT 10 MPH TO AND INTERSECTION OR SLOWING AT 50 MPH IN TRAFFIC. WHILE DRIVING, THE ESC AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AT THE SAME TIME. THE BRAKES AND WARNING LIGHTS COME ON ON ASPHALT STREETS IN GOOD SHAPE, ON BUMPY ROADS, OR GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS. THE ABS ACTIVATED WHEN COMING TO AN INTERSECTION PREVENTING THE CAR FROM STOPPING AT THE STOP LIGHT. SOUTH BAY HYUNDAI IN TORRANCE CA SAYS ITS THE ABS CONTROL MODULE AND WILL REPLACE IT FOR $2300.00 AND WE CANNOT HAVE OUR CAR BACK FOR 4 DAYS. THE VEHICLE IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. PURCHASED AUGUST 2007. HAS 90169 MILES.

PURCHASED USED VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2013 AT 32700 MILES. 4 MOS LATER AT 43000 MILES REAR BRAKES BEGAN GRINDING SEVERELY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THE REAR CALIPER GOT STUCK/FROZE AND THE GRINDING DAMAGED THE ROTOR. BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR ON REAR DRIVER SIDE MUST BE REPLACED AND BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR ON PASSENGER SIDE NEEDS RESURFACING. ALSO ESC LIGHT HAS BEEN TURNING OFF AND ON AND DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE BRAKE SWITCH DESPITE THE NHTSA HAVING THE BRAKE SWITCH LISTED AS DEFECTIVE AND CAUSING ISSUES WITH THE ESC. *TR

ESC OFF LIGHT ON DASH THEN CHECK ENGINE. CODE IS P0504 FOR BRAKE SWITCH. THIS CONDITION IS COVERED UNDER OTHER HYUNDAI CAMPAIGNS AND RECALLS BUT NOT FOR OUR VIN / BUILD DATE. PLEASE CONSIDER WORKING WITH HYUNDAI TO PROVIDE RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. WE ARE ALSO BEING TOLD THERE IS A TWO WEEK WAIT TO HAVE THIS REPAIR PERFORMED. VEHICLE SAFETY DURING THIS DELAY IS A CONCERN SHOULD THE ESC SYSTEM MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING. THANK YOU. *TR

MY 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE WILL RANDOMLY APPLY THE BRAKES WHILE DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS.THE BRAKES WILL APPLY MAKING THE CAR PULL TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT MAY CAUSE THE CAR TO VEER INTO THE NEXT LANE. I WOULD NEED TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES TO MAKE THEM RELEASE.THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BRAKE PADS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED WE REPLACED THE BRAKES AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR AGAIN FOR MAYBE A YEAR.IT HAPPEN SO MUCH IN 2011& 2012 I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR.I TOOK MY CAR TO HARDIN HYUNDAI 6/09/12 EXPLAINED IN DETAIL THAT THE BRAKES WOULD APPLY WHEN I WAS DRIVING, AND THE ESC LIGHT WAS COMING ON. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE HAD CHANGED THE BRAKE PADS HOPING THIS WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE IT DID NOT. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED 3 TIRES, ALIGNMENT AND PINS WERE MISSING WHEN WE DID THE BRAKE JOB AND THAT WAS CAUSING THE BRAKES TO STICK. WE DID WHAT WAS SUGGESTED.THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM.THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER TO DIAGNOSIS THE ISSUE.THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW SO I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HE DID DIAGNOSIS IT WITH THE COMPUTER. THE ESC MODULE IS BAD. NOW I A'M DRIVING WITH THE ESC OFF.WHEN DRIVING WITH THE ESC OFF IT DOESN''T RANDOMLY BRAKE BUT WILL SOMETIMES MAKE A HORRIBLE GRINDING SOUND AND THE BRAKES STICK WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED.THIS IS NOT GOOD EITHER.WHY REQUIRE THIS SAFETY FEATURE IN EVERY CAR IF IT WILL FAIL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND IF THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT DIAGNOSIS IT CORRECTLY. SOME HYUNDAIS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM SO I FEEL THE DEALERSHIPS SHOULD BE WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.THE WORK ORDER DOES NOT MENTION BRAKES NOR DID THEY TRY TO DIAGNOSIS IT CORRECTLY. WAS THIS AN INTENTIONAL MOVE BY HYUNDAI SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEIR ESC MODULES ARE STILL FAILING. I FEEL EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN INJURED DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. HYUNDAI FAILED ON THIS ISSUE. *TR
