Unknown. The brakes are having difficulty holding up on the street while coming to a complete stop. Once stopped or stopping, there is a slight humming noise coming from the front wheels as if the car is having trouble staying in place. The back left tail light occasionally flickers on and off while driving and continues to flicker when tapped. The brake light is completely out now and has been adjusted before…

I was driving down my driveway at about 5 mph when my esc indicator light came on. Both of my front brakes immediately locked up. I put the car in park and shut the vehicle off thinking that would reset the system. When i started it back up the indicator light was still on and the brakes were still locked up. I then turned the vehicle back off and unplugged my battery hoping that would do it. Still the same problem.…

The car is not covered on the campaign #146 even though the vehicle's make, model & year were corresponding to the recall. They need to widen the vin numbers effected as my vehicle was effected by this same issue. The break stopper broke into many pieces all over my floorboards and my break light was continuously on. It then killed my car battery by using the battery to power the break lights with the car off and…

About 4 times per year, the vehicle will not shift out of park. I must use the shift release button and this takes awhile to work. I have had this happen when the car is idling in a parking lot, parked at a drive-thru, trying to leave a parking lot. This has happened about 12 times since i bought this vehicle. I took it to a hyundai dealership and they could not replicate the issue. The first occasion was around…

My airbag light was off and on for about a month and now it is a steady light. The repair shop i took it to said i needed a clock spring and a new driver air bag. They also said i might need another part. Total cost of all of this will be around $1600. Since my car has over 100,000 miles, it is not under warranty. I've noticed other people are complaining about the airbag light.

Sept. 2nd, 2016, my 26-yr-old daughter (an experienced driver) left work, approached a "t" country road intersection at moderate speed, on a somewhat rough road, and applied brakes to slow down. Nothing happened - the car did not slow. The car drove across the intersection into a farmyard. She pulled the emergency brake, but it did not stop the car. It skidded, but she was able to steer around a wood pile and avoid…

I was braking to make a turn on a an icy road when the brakes made a loud grinding sound and the brake pedal would not press in properly - sort of like it was fighting back. I thought it was a response by abs and traction control because of the ice, but then later the same day, slowing down at a traffic light the same sound occurred again on a completely dry road surface. The sound continued while braking for the…
