After accelerating from a stop, my 06 sonata engine light and
 ESC OFF light comes on, and it acts like it is in neutral-it is still running, but will not accelerate or brake properly. I have to pull over carefully and restart. The engine light will still stay on, but it will drive correctly. I have pushed the ESC OFF button, turned on off a/c, etc.This has been going on for the last year or so, weeks at a time then nothing for months. I have taken it to the shop but they cannot reproduce the problem as it clears after car is shut off. the only way they can experience this is to either have the car towed to them after the problem occurs while it is still running, or have them keep the car for who knows how long and have to drive it until it acts up again.

The dealer should be able to read diagnostic codes from the ECU after a check engine light. These are stored in memory and are not cleared.

Yes I thought they should be able to read an error code, but the local Hyundai dealer said they are cleared when the car gets turned off, or when it is not acting up. It has to have done this over 60 times by now. I have taken it to the shop before regarding this and they were unable to help. The mfg. said they would step in but no one has said how the rental would be handled. It could be a quite lengthy stay.

Why not purchase an inexpensive code reader yourself and keep it connected until the next occurrence?

If you bring the car in after the problem occurs the codes should be there. The codes are stored and the oldest code is erased but the most recent group of codes will there.

ESC off Light by rooney6

When the ESC off light is on, what is this an indication of? I notice it comes on when braking. When I turn the car off the light goes out, but a few minutes later when the car is running again it'll come on again. It doesn't happen often, but often enough to catch my attention and it only seems to come on in the winter time.

ESC should not activate unless you are maneuvering the car past its limits for conditions. In icy conditions, it could activate more than on dry roads. When driving straight ahead, it should not activate. If the light comes on under normal driving conditions or when stopped, you should have the car checked.

This is very helpful. I'll pay closer attention to events that trigger the light to activate.
Thanks again for the feedback!

Cabin Noise by rooney6

Since I've had my Sonata 2006 I've noticed the cabin noise is becoming very annoying. When I'm driving on the hwy or on the street the outside noise coming in is loud. I like to drive in a quiet car. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to cut down the noise?

ABS Brakes by rooney6

I'm figuring that the ABS brakes are on when I hear grinding noise upon applying the brakes. When this ocurrs I immediately release the brakes thinking that something is going to fall out the bottom and I start pumping the brakes to keep from hitting the car in front of me. Would it be okay to press the pedel to the floor until I come to a complete stop? I also feel the shaking, pulling underneath my foot. Is this normal?
