ESC off light intermittently comes on while driving. If restart vehicle light doed not come on. This is a manufacuring defect & should be recalled. I should not have to pay for a mechanic to fix something that isn't really broken. There is nothing wring with the system. The problem is with the sensor.

We were driving towards home when the car started to buck as if someone were applying the brakes and sounded as if gears were grinding. The ESC idiot light kept going off and on so I turned the ESC off with the manual switch and it seemed to work meaning I could drive with no apparent problem. I am certainly very happy that it did not happen at a higher speed because the jerking was somewhat severe at 35mph.

The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai tuscon. While driving at 15 mph, the electronic stability control (ESC) light illuminated on the instrumental panel and the stability control activated. She attempted to deactivate the ESC but to no avail. She attempted to depress the brakes but the brake pedal fell into the floorboard and would not engage. She was able to bring the vehicle to a stop without incident. The vehicle had not yet been to the dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The failure and current mileages were 16,100.
