AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT COMES WHEN CAR IS STARTED AND STAYS ON UNTIL THE IGNITION IS SWITCHED OFF. STAYS ON WHETHER THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. NOT HAVING AIR BAG ACTIVE IN THE EVENT OF NEED IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION. DO NOT KNOW CONDITION THAT IS CAUSING AIR BAG LIGHT TO STAY ON. OTHER SONATA MODEL YEARS HAVE A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM SO I THINK THE 2007 MODEL YEARS IS RELATED TO THE SAME PROBLEM BUT DEALER SAYS THIS AUTO IS NOT UNDER A RECALL FOR AIR BAG LIGHT.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER A YEAR. COME TO FIND OUT MY AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE IS FAULTY. AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC GRACEFULLY CHECKED MY AIR BAG CODES FOR FREE. THIS IS NOW PUTTING MY LIFE AND ANYONE RIDING WITH ME IN DANGER SEEING AS NONE OF MY AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY. ACCORDING TO SEVERAL FORUMS I'VE SEEN, THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO SEND OUT A RECALL ON SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A COLLISION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
APRIL 3, 2018: TWO YEARS AGO WE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR IN OUR CAR. SUDDENLY WE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT AND SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON AND OFF OR STAYING ON. WE WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE COMPLAINTS OR ISSUES OF THE SAME KIND. WE FIND THAT OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED WITH THE OIL VALVE AND ALTERNATOR PROBLEM AS WELL AS THE INDICATOR LIGHTS COMING ON AND OFF OR STAYING ON. SO WE TOOK THE ALTERNATOR OUT AND RETURNED IT BECAUSE THANKFULLY IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEREFORE, THIS IS NOW THE THIRD ALTERNATOR FOR OUR CAR. HOWEVER, IF THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, WE WANT TO BE PART OF DOCUMENTED CASES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. AS OF TODAY, THE CAR IS RUNNING FINE WITH THE NEWEST ALTERNATOR. OUR FRUSTRATION IS WITH THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE SECOND ONE IN TWO YEARS TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF WHATEVER REASON. THANKS...

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE ESC OFF INDICATOR LIGHT WILL APPEAR ON THE DASH AND STAY ON STEADILY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE ENGINE WILL REMAIN ON, BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE. NO AMOUNT OF PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WILL GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS DURING NORMAL WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE, CAUSING A TRAFFIC JAM AND ME HAVING TO CROSS OVER 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO ENGINE POWER TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. THERE WERE NO ADVERSE ROAD OR WEATHER CONDITIONS WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THIS IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE A 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA SE 3.3L V6. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN ISSUE OF A FAULTY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THE INCIDENT WHERE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ON SUNDAY MARCH 11TH 2018 WAS BY FAR THE MOST DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE. THE ONLY WAY THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE IS ON ENCE THE ESC OFF LIGHT INDICATOR IS NO LONGER LIT ON THE DASH. AND THE ONLY WAY I AM SOMETIMES ABLE TO GET THIS LIGHT TO TURN OFF, IS BY DISCONNECTING THE NEGATIVE CABLE FROM THE BATTERY FOR 20 MINUTES TO AN HOUR OR SO.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY ESC LIGHT COMES ON INDICATING THAT THE ESC IS OFF WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND AT TIMES RIGHT AFTER I START THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO MOVING. I HAVE PRESSED THE BUTTON DURING THOSE TIMES AND IT DOES NOTHING. AT TIMES IT WILL BE LITE FOR A DAY OR TWO THEN IT GOES OFF. THERE CAN BE A MONTH OR SO OR DAYS IN BETWEEN EACH OCCURRENCE.. IT COMES ON RANDOMLY, DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS OR SOMETIMES WHEN I DRIVE ON A BUMPY ROAD AND OF COURSE DURING WET CONDITIONS. I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2007-2008 FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL AS OF THIS DATE. PLEASE ADVICE ME AS TO WHAT I NEED TO DO TO HAVE THIS TAKING CARE OF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
