Battery discharges overnight. Seems to have something to do with the alarm system, as when the vehicle is locked is when the battery is dead the next day. This happens even when a new battery has been installed. Dealership has been of no help, same problem I was having with my 2007 hyundai entourage.

Started in dec 2015 had problem starting car. All the lights came on then died. Finally started took it to the mechanic for a diagnostic test no problem was found. After a week same problem occurred, I was told to press on the gas for a while. Worked, however three months later, try to start car all lights came on then died. If the manufacturer is aware of a problem inform the customers. Obviously there is a problem. Help us identify and solve the problem. Could you imagine getting ready to go to work but the car you drove yesterday would not start? What is happening? Its frustrating not knowing what is wrong. Will my car start today? In addition the light comes on about the passenger airbag is off.

Dead battery after sitting for 3 days. Replaced battery. Dead battery again a few weeks later, again after sitting for a few days. Used the car a lot over next two months, so car didn't sit idle more than two days at a time. Then the problem recurred when not driving the car for a few days. Took it to a hyundai dealer, who couldn't find any problem. Car ok when using it on a regular basis. Then parked it for a few days, and battery died. Took it back to the dealer who still can't find anything wrong with the electrical system. Only solution to the problem seems to be to drive the car every day or keep a trickle charger on the battery when the car sits for more than 2 days.

Battery power lost when car parked for two days or more numerous times. Once while briefly parked for 15 minutes after an hour drive, I parked to make the call in a remote area using car phone plugged into cigarette lighter. No cell service there and had to walk to a local ranch for help and a jump. Battery required replacement frequently. Dealer tested on two occasions and they could not resolve, replaced battery twice. Ive replaced batteries numerous other times at least every two years. Last visit by aaa tested 1 amp high resistance short in electrical system but good relatively new battery. I now charge the battery about three times a year with a battery charger, taking approximately 8 hours of charge when the battery is dead at home. I do not drive very far out of fear that I'll be stranded. I've used up my 3 aloted aaa visits on this problem.

The ESC off light comes on the dash. Also when the lights are off and the brake is pressed the dash lights come on. Took the car to the shop today. They replaced, the switch assy-stop, the code was c1513. Problem is not fixed. There is a recall but they are telling me my car is not under the recall.
