ESC light and hard braking issue(ABS module?): ESC light turns on and the car applies hard brakes without any action from the driver while driving. This happens while driving on a straight road or freeway (not while turning). Sometimes, the ESC light doesn't turn on but the brakes still get applied while in motion without any action from driver. It has happened 5 times so far - 2 of those while driving at more than 60mph on freeway but was fortunate to pull to the shoulder safely. One instance of the problem showed up when the car was stationary but with engine running (at a parking lot). As you could see, this is a safety issue putting us in danger without any prior indication or no known resolution. I have taken it to the local Hyundai dealer service center but they cannot find the root cause yet. They have already tried replacing brake switch but that didn't help. I have filed a case with Hyundai directly too and waiting to hear from them.

I have had my alternator and battery replaced within the last month and my car is cutting off while I'm driving it. The lights on the dashboard come on the radio powers off and the wheel starts jerking back and forth and it cuts off or begins to cut off and corrects itself. I was driving in the city during these incidents and the car was either turning or pulling off. Once on the highway it cut off while in motion.

Engine began to slow down...I pulled off the freeway safely as the car beeped and displayed a warning: 'hybrid drive failure. Place car in P. do not drive' they should also add, call a wrecker, in all fairness. Waiting on Hyundai's answer. After tractoon issues in ice and snow in addition to this...when I get this car back, she's a goner! I need a real vehicle.

The back lights are going out extremely to often. I have to change them out at least once a month and when changing them I notice that the bulb is black, almost like they are burning out. When I replace on side, a week or two later I have to change the other side. It seems to be a wiring issue.

When I stopped my car and put in park I turned the key in the ignition to the lock/off position but the key would not turn to lock/off go in the off position. So, the key was stuck in the ignition. I turned the car on and shifted to drive than back to park and turned the car off to remove the key however it was still stuck. I did this several times because I had the same problem two week prior and this method worked. I was by a locksmith that I could was to unhook the battery until I could take it to the dealership.

Every three to five days when push to start vehicle it will not turn on. All lights/electronics come on but the vehicle just will not start. When towed to the dealer or tow driver arrives the car starts again. Have had the battery tested and tested bad, replaced but the problem continues. Hyundai says "cannot duplicate the problem" and sends me on my way with no resolution. Now dealer as well as Hyundai regional office refuse to answer the phone or return any of my messages. Has happened at least if not more than 15 times.
