“I was just driving to work and the ESC off light came on, the only way I have been able to get it to go off is to restart the car. One of the times I had trouble getting the car in to park but after playing around with the brake pedal it final allowed me to shift. It has been happening randomly, I had it check for error codes and nothing could be found.”

“I just filed a complaint about my 2006 and this is for my 2007 Hyundai visor. It is broke and a safety issue. I also read there was a recall for this visor issue in some states, but not all or mine in illinois. Not sure how true this is, but in any case should be a recall for all affected vehicles.”

“Hyundai has a problem with sudden unexpected acceleration I had my first problem with my 2005 elantra , and now again with my 2007 Sonata. The Hyundai dealership here in st. George utah is not doing any thing about this, the Sonata was in motion when the car accelerated on its own, this has taken place more than once, the last time the car was stopped by a fence...what will it take for Hyundai to do something abut this?”

“Car horns are usually operated by small buttons on the steering wheel. My Hyundai Sonata horn is sounded by pushing on the large pad on the steering wheel. This requires a large force. My strong wife can't push hard enough to sound the horn. I regard this as a bad design.”

“The front drivers seat has started rocking, forward and back. I believe the attachment to the traveler on the front of the seat has failed. The rear attachment is still there, but the seat actually rocks. This is a very dangerous condition, which should be covered by the manufacturer, since it is a design defect. When you accelerate and decelerate the seat rocks based upon the forces, which could lead to a traffic accident. The condition happened when I was getting out of the car.”
