2011 Hyundai Tucson Electronic stability control Problems

“Both the downhill brake light and stability track control light came on at the same time. My car wouldn't get out of park, or when I got it in drive, it wouldn't go back into park. Taking it to the shop today, noticed it might be from a brake switch.”

“When driving to and from work (am/pm) the dbc (downhill brake control) and ESC (electronic stability control) indicator lights will turn on and remain on until I stop and turn off the ignition. When I stop, I am unable to shift the gear into park. While in a panic, I made several attempts to put the vehicle in park and each attempt was unsuccessful. So I put it in neutral to turn the ignition off, waited a few minutes, then restarted it and put it in park in order to remove the ignition key. I may have to try this several times before I am able to shift into park. …”

“The downhill brake control (dbc) indicator and the electronic stability control (ESC) lights come on while car is in operation for no apparent reason - driving normal speed - about 45 MPH, in normal dry road conditions. When I go to stop the car, the shift lever gets stuck and cannot put in park. It takes a few tries at jiggling the shift lever and jiggling key in ignition to get it to go into park. After shutting off engine, restart is normal with the dbc and ESC lights no longer on. This has happened at least 10 times since original time I noticed it a few months ago. …”

“While driving in stop and go traffic to and from work (am/pm) the dbc (downhill brake control) and ESC (electronic stability control) indicator lights will turn on and remain on until I stop and turn off the ignition. However, when I stop, I am unable to shift the gear into park. I am forced to put it in neutral to turn the ignition off, wait a few minutes, then start the car and put it in park in order to remove the ignition key. I may have to try this several times before I am able to shift into park. It has happened three days in a row. The dealership is unable to duplicate this problem. …”

“While driving at approx. 45 MPH, I noticed that the electronic stability control light was on and the downhill brake control indicator (red) was on. I returned home, shut down the engine, restarted it, and the problem seemed to go away. Upon returning home the next day from a trip, while parking the car, both indicators came on, and the vehicle would not allow me to put the transmission into park. I left the transmission in neutral, and shut the engine down. I then turned the key on, put my foot on the accelerator pedal (to the floor) for 3 seconds, turned the key on, and the problem was gone. …”
