ESC is intermittently turning itself off for no apparent reason when I am driving. Happens mostly when I first start driving and am at a very low speed, but also happens on the highway at higher speeds at times. Only way to turn it back on is to turn off the engine and re-start. Is happening more frequently over the last week (almost a daily occurrence).
My son, [xxx] was driving the car. While decelerating down from 60 mph on approach to bridge toll plaza, at about 40 mph the ESC light came on, the engine lost power and the steering became very hard to work. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Brake lights remain on, stability control is turned off and cruise control doesn't work. This is a safety hazard to vehicles following, a lack of vehicle stability control, an inability to maintain a constant speed on the freeway. There has been a historic recall on this issue - but not for this specific VIN. This vehicle obviously is using the same defective part. Battery runs down and vehicle won't start unless battery is disconnected (due to brake lights remaining on)

"takata recall" my car constantly has the ESC off light come on while I'm driving. I can be going 5 miles per hour or 60 miles per hour. I can be in my neighborhood or riding on the interstate. I was sitting still the other day and the light came on causing me to not be able to hit the gas. This has been going on for over a week now, since 05/14/18.
The electroin stability control (ESC) function on my 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe has begun failing since April 2018. The warning light will randomly come on better than halfo of the time we operate the vehicle. There is a push-button switch that allows manual control of this feature that now does nothing. This failure shows to be part of a voluntary recall of 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe vehicles - see nhsta campaign id number: 13V1130000 (Hyundai # 110). Checking with Hyundai, they indicate my vehile VIN is not part of the recall though the description of the failure matches what is happening to the vehicle. The failure can occur at start up, shortly after beginning driving, while driving, or not at all.
Sensors -are bad. Have to turn off ESC to keep from ABS pulling me off the road. Feels like brakes are falling out. Someone else I saw said she had same issue. I paid over $2,000 to get brakes fixed at dealership-never fixed issue. I turn off button only give me a chance to drive.

Light comes on intermittently for no reason. I have no idea if it is working or not. Started about 85,000 miles. Appears to be common problem with this model and year. Happens frequently during driving.
The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. Upon starting the vehicle, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. After driving a short distance, the electronic stability control warning indicator also illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing, which produced failure codes for the fuel senders and brake light switch. The vehicle was not repaired. The mechanic stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 16V113000 (service brakes, hydraulic, exterior lighting). The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The failure mileage was unknown.
For the last three years I have had issues with my fuel gauge not working. I have taken it in and was told it would cost a good amount of money to fix. I asked if this is a common problem with massey Hyundai and they told me yes this is a current issue, and could not be recalled because it was not dangerous. So on 3.9.17 as a result of not fixing this issue with my vehicle because of the price. My car has stalled out once while on the interstate and almost lost control of my car and crashed. And a second time while turning into work road and stalling out again mid turn and almost turning into a ditch. I was told that the fuel sensor needed to be replaced and they had to do both because they weren't sure which one it is. If not fixed could result in an accident, well if this is a problem for most Hyundai vehicles this should be fixed by the company who makes it not the people who buy faulty products.
The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. When starting the vehicle, the ESC indicator illuminated and the vehicle would not accelerate over 10 mph. The contact would have to turn the vehicle on and off several times in order to deactivate the ESC. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who was unable to identify the cause of the failure. The failure recurred. The failure was related to NHTSA campaign number: 13V113000 (exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic). The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

Hyundai Santa Fe ESC light pops on intermittently and after pushing the on/off switch does not put it out. "ESC " light intermittently illuminates on the dashboard the front tires kind of lock up with a grinding sound and the car violently trying to stop it self and I was going straight on a city street. Research shows this is a common problem in many Hyundai models and recalls have been issued. I am the owner of the vehicle.
