2006 Hyundai Sonata Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

THE ESC LIGHT IS ON ALWAYS ON MY HYUNDAI SONATA 2006 GLS.I DID THE RECALL ON THE ABS LIGHT ISSUE AND THAT WAS FIXED IN 2017 BUT SOON AFTER THAT ESC LIGHT IS ON AND IT WILL NOT GO OFF.I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND WAS THINKING THAT THIS ISSUE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I HAVE A FAULTY YAW RATE SENSOR AND IT WOULD COST ME 1200 FOR THE REPAIR.I FOUND IN MANY HYUNDAI FORUMS THAT 2006 HAS THIS ISSUE AND IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED ONLY IF A COMPLAINT IS REGISTERED.REQUEST YOU TO ACT ON THIS AS ITS TOO MUCH OF COST TO THE CUSTOMERS.

MY ESC LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON I HAVE TO DISCONNECT MY BATTERY TO RESET EVERYTHING FOR MY CAR TO MOVE. WHEN THE ESC LIGHT IS ON MY CAR DOES NOT MOVE. WHEN I'M DRIVING THE LIGHT WILL COME ON TOO AND MY CAR DIES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS .

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA HAS NOT BEEN STARTING EVERYTIME. I'VE HAD IT TESTED ALONG WITH THE ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, FUSES, RELAYS, AND STARTER, EVERYTHING ELSE IS FINE. IT DOESN'T MATTER THE WEATHER OR WHAT YOU DO TO START IT ( WIGGLE THE SHIFTER, PLAY WITH THE LIGHTS, TURN IGNITION SLOWLY) IT STARTS SOMETIMES WITH NO PROBLEM AT ALL AND OTHERS IT WILL LEAVE ME WAITING ANYWHERE FROM 10 MINUTES TO AM HOUR.

WHEN I TURNED MY CAR ON I NOTICED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND ALSO THE ESC BUTTON WAS ILLUMINATED ALSO. I TRIED TO GET OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT AND MY CAR WOULDN'T DRIVE MORE THEN 5 MILES AND HOUR. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND IF THERE'S A RECALL ON WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS. IF I HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALER HOW MUCH WILL THEY CHARGE TO FIX IT. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHY MY DEALER DOESN'T NOTIFY ME WHEN THERE ARE RECALLS IN MY VEHICLE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ESC WARNING INDICATOR WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATING INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V316000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,000.

THE ESCOFF AND ABS LIGHTS ILLUMINATE ONCE IN A WHILE. INTERMITTENTLY, THIS PROBLEM ALSO HAVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. AFTER OVER NIGHT OR WAITING FOR COUPLE OF HOURS AND STARTING THE VEHICLE IT GOES OFF.

AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 5 TO 10 MILES MY ESC OFF CENSOR COMES ON & DOES NOT GO OFF BY PUSHING ESC BUTTON ,UNTIL I TURN OFF VEHICLE.

"ESC OFF" LIGHT IS "ON" AND CAN'T BE RESET. HYUNDAI HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FAILURE OF A SAFETY RELATED SYSTEM AND DOESN'T SEEM INTERESTED IN REPAIRING WHAT IS A SYSTEMIC DEFICIENCY. I THINK A RECALL IS WARRANTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. UPDATED 02/10/16*LJ *TR

CAR HESITATE TO START. ONCE ON ESC OFF LIGHT IS ON AND YOU CAN GO ANY FASTER THAN 15MPH. IF YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AND CRANK IT AGAIN THE LIGHT GOES OFF BUT YOU CAN GO PASS 2500 REMEMBER OR ELSE IT BUCKS AND JERKS AND ENGINE REVS BUT YOU CAN'T INCREASE YOUR SPEED. IT HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS OF RECALL FOR THE 3.3 LIKE ENGINE, BUT HYUNDAI WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE MY ENGINE IS 2.4L. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR FROM HYUNDAI ON APRIL 25, 2015.

THE ESC OFF INDICATOR LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AT START OF VEHICLE. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR.

THE "ESC OFF" LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY ON MY HYUNDAI SONATA 2006 MODEL KEEPS COMING UP INTERMITTENTLY. I CHECKED AND DID NOT FIND ANY OPEN RECALLS ON THIS. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH ON THE WEB THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON HYUNDAI ISSUE / PROBLEM ACROSS DIFFERENT HYUNDAI MODELS INCLUDING SONATA, SO I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY HYUNDAI HAS NOT IDENTIFIED THE ROOT CAUSE AND ISSUED A RECALL TO FIX THIS. IS THERE SOME OTHER COMMON RESOLUTION FOR THIS THAT NEED TO BE CARRIED OUT BY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC IN THE INTERIM?

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ESC OFF LIGHT TURNED ON MY VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE G SENSOR AND ESC MODULE. RESEARCHED IN THE NET AND FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE WAS REPORTED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST FOR SIMILAR MODELS. THE COST OF REPLACING THE PIECE FROM OUT OF POCKET IS OUTRAGES AND NEED HELP IN GETTING ATTENTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO ADDRESS THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

VEHICLE SKIDS OF ROAD AND THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON. THE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE AND ITS NOT GOING BACK. THE BACK WELLS ARE MAKING FUNNY NOISE AND VIBRATES AT SPEED OF OVER 50MPH. *TR

CASUAL DRIVING JUST PROCEEDING FROM A STOP SIGN AND SUDDENLY ESC FLASHES AND STEERING GOT STIFF AND BRAKES SEEMED TO STUTTER AND GRINDING SOUND WITHOUT MY PRESSING OF BRAKE. HAD COSTLY REPAIR DONE AT HYUNDAI DEALER AND EXACTLY 12 MONTHS LATER SAME PROBLEM. THE ESC SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE AND DOES INTERRUPT NORMAL DRIVING EVEN IF THE ESC IS OFF. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING ABOUT 60 MPH, AND SUDDENLY THE ESC OFF LIGHT CAME ON AND I COULD NOT ABLE TO SWITCH IT OFF WITH ESC CONTROL BUTTON. ITS QUIET FREQUENT NOW WHENEVER CAR TOUCHES 60 MPH AND SOMETIME IT AUTOMATICALLY COMES WITHIN CITY DRIVING 30-40 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO WHEEL WORKS FOR THE CHECKUP AND THEY SUGGESTED TO GET IT CHECKED WITH DEALER AS IT COULD BE A SIGN OF A BIGGER PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO READ SEVERAL FORUMS AND COME TO KNOW THAT MANY CONSUMERS ARE FACING SIMILAR PROBLEM AND IT COULD BE RELATED TO ACCELERATOR PEDAL OR BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS ALSO KNOWN PROBLEM TO HYUNDAI BUT THEY ARE NOT DOING A RECALL FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP IN ASSISTING ON THIS PROBLEM AND YOUR URGENT ACTION WILL BE APPRECIATED. *TR

ESC SENSOR WOULD LIGHT UP ON AND OFF. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND THEY COULD NOT FIND PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. RESET THE SENSOR. THE ESC GOES ON AND OFF ALL OF THE TIME. IT WILL STAY ON FOR A MONTH AND THEN NOT BE ON FOR 2 MONTHS. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE FROM OTHER BOARDS THAT I HAVE SEEN. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V316000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE BRAKE SWITCH BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. ADDITIONALLY, THE WARNING LIGHTS FOR THE AIR BAGS, BRAKES, AND BATTERY WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL MODULE AND THE SENSOR BOX TO THE ESC WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT LATER NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SMOKING AS IT STALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THE ESC COMES ON EVERYDAY I START THE CAR THEN IT COMES OFF WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. *TR
