NHTSA complaint #11055060, filed 2017-12, 105,000 miles

“Esc light and ABS light have come on intermittently since we bought the vehicle in 2010. They usually went back off after stopping the car and shutting off the engine. The other night while driving down a highway at 70mph, those 2 lights and the awd light came on and are not turning off. Looking on internet, I see these 3 lights coming on is fairly common and can be a safety hazard. Wonering if/when this might be addressed asa recall.”

NHTSA complaint #10915123, filed 2016-10, 135,000 miles

“Driving slowly on city streets, I began braking at a stop sign, when 3 dash indicator sensor lights came on. The ABS, ESC and the 4 wheel drive sensor lights. After stopping I continued and the car started to jerk and was difficult to control. It was trying to brake while I was trying to accelerate. I immediately returned to our driveway and had to cancel our outing. Called the repair shop and they diagnosed it as a left rear wheel speed sensor problem. The cost for the repair will be $550.00.”

“All brakes lights came on initially. Then when driving, the car started losing power and stalled. Thankfully I was on a county road with a driveway I was able to exit on. Otherwise on a busy highway it could have been very dangerous. The part that failed was an ABS modulator valve assembly. It cost $2,615.06 to fix. Also, I'm concerned it was replaced with the exact same part, which will most likely fail again! The Hyundai part no. Is: 58910 3j950 hydraulic module.”

NHTSA complaint #10669478, filed 2015-01, 67,379 miles

“This car loses power and the ability to control it via power steering, power brakes, and sometimes completely shuts down when operating under rainy conditions and wet roadways. It has happened five times. I have never been traveling at a high rate of speed, but for a split second codes appear and I have no control of the car. There is a moment of panic and then the car comes back to life and everything is operational. The dealer has not been able to diagnose.”
