The Abs traction controll light comes on randomly. When braking it sometimes slides.No i have not taken to a dealer due to the federal safety agency saying remedey not detectable.No has not been inspected. Yes, abs tractoon controll came on dash board and slipery warning
ABS system malfunctioned in the following manner. ABS sensor displayed. Brakes pedal must be depressed to the floorboard in order to "try" to stop. The emergency "e brake" will not engage & is non-functioning. Contacted Hyundai Headquarters for recall resolution as this issue could harm/kill my child &/or others. The car is unsafe to be driven. Hyundai resolution rep made an appt for at a local dealership. The dealership stated they would repair the car regardless of the recall, but I would have to pay & have Hyundai "try" to reimburse me as they do not have a "fix" for the recall as it could supposedly start a fire &/or lose braking system. Question? How can you repair a vehicle due to recall failure, yet NOT have a "fix" for the recall? Something not adding up. Start of incident with car July 2023. I continue to have to pay for insurance and tag registrations for a car that cannot be driven safely as Hyundai states there is no "fix" as of yet. Due to fire risk the car must be parked outside to endure weather elements which deteriorates the vehicle.
There are leak stains all over my engine, and my car started smoking. I got the recall notice 2 days after the incident, and there are no remedies yet for my abs sensor to be replaced.

Las luz de ABS comenzó a verse encendida en el Dashboard en ocasiones la de ABS junto a la de Emergencia. Lleve el auto a inspeccionar en el diagnostico resultó que el problema posiblemente podría estar en el HECU. Me indican que lo llevara en esos días porque al ser algo complejo tomaria tiempo asi verificar con exactitud que era lo que estaba haciendo que me encendieran las luces para entonces ser remplazado. Antes de poder llegar el dia para poder verificarlo salgo a hacer una diligencia y al regresar a mi casa se encienden las luces nuevamente seguido por un ruido al presionar el pedal de frenos. Me estaciono frente a mi casa al rato salgo a buscar el papel del diagnostico que me habían dado que lo había dejado guardado en la víscera del carro y me percato que se escuchaba algo encendido aún ya con el carro apagado. Procedo a abrir la cajuela y me percato que esa pieza de HECU seguía encendida y sonando. Se procede a quitarle los poros de la batería para que apagara, cuando hace una chispa eléctrica seguido por fuego. Poniendo la vida de mi hija, de mi mamá y mía en peligro. Actúe rápidamente ya que vivo en un apartamento busqué el extintor de fuegos que me proveen y procedo a apagarlo. Luego de apagado el fuego encontramos una tapa que entiendo que es de el modulo de ABS (envie foto de la misma). La experiencia fue horrible pues esto me pudo haber pasado en la calle y pudo ser un incidente desgraciado ocacionando perdida de vidas y perdida total de mi auto. El percance ocurrió bien tarde en la noche que pude haberme acostado a dormir y levantarme cuando escuchara el carro explotar, gracias a Dios regresé al auto a buscar el papel y no paso a mayores.
I bought my hyundai around march or april 2015. After about a month I noticed that the ESC was coming on and off. While visiting family in fishers indiana in august I noticed that not only was the ESC coming but also all the other warning lights I.e. Abs, air bag, parking brake and eps. On august 17 I took my car to the noblesville hyundai dealer. On the 18th I was told that the problem was a negative component not grounded and was fixed. About 1.5 weeks later the problem returned plus now the low tire pressure warning light was coming on. On the 31st of august I went back to the dealer explaining that the problem had returned. As of september 2 they still have not determined what the problem is. Picked up my car on september 3rd and was told that since they couldn't get the car to act up there was nothing they could do so I took my car. I'll just have to see if and when the problem occurs again then take it straight back to dealer.
I bought my car in feb 2014, since that the electronic stability control (ESC) indicator has come on several times while driving. When the ESC is on, the other indicators air bag warning light, ABS, parking brake & brake fluid warning light, low tire pressure telltale and electronic power steering (eps) indicator will also take turns to come on for a while and then off for a few seconds then back on again. After I restart, ESC light will stay on and the other lights take turns to on and off. This will last several days and then back to normal. The worst thing happened on june, 2015, after the lights have been on and off the day before, the electronic power steering was lost when I started my car. Air bag warning light, ABS, parking brake & brake fluid warning light and eps were all on. I was totally in shock by what had happened since I basically could not back out from the parking lot with the stiff steering. I restarted several times and could not work out. When I finally got to dealer, the technician turned on the car, everything was normal. They tried to get a code for me but no code showed any malfunction. Since then, I was driving in afraid that this may happen again at any time and I may lose control and cause an accident.
