2006 Hyundai Sonata service brakes problems

“I have a 06 sonata 2.4l that had rear control arms rotted out plus the subframe. And my esc light is on not really sure what to wit that. But my car is down now due to rear control arms needed replaced.”

“I have had several things wrong with other models and my 06 hyundai Sonata having the exact same thing happening but the dealer ship wont even acknowledge the words from my mouth, or I get the speech outta your pocket. When I start my car its normal till I put it in drive, it starts pushing the brakes jerking my car leaving black marks in the road onetime. Its happening everyday for 7 months then after the brakes thing its like my car dies then esc light on my dash will light up and it drives normal. Then the sway bar, bushing and struts have went bad 4 times in the past year. The brakelines rusted into and currently going through the second time fixing them. pour brake fluild in and it does no good still none. The headlights bulbs have been replaced 3 times in 2 years now. they may stay bright for 3 months or so then they go dim so dim you cant see black ice till your up on it.”

“This is the third time I am having to replace the calipers on my car in 4 yrs. They keep locking up while I am driving & won't release. When it does thus it ruins my roters & grinds my breaks down.”

“DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR JUST DIED OUT OF NO WHERE TOOK IT TO GET LOOKED AT ONLY TO FIND OUT THE ENGINE DIED CAR GOT SO HOT IT HAD TO SIT OVER NIGHT TO COOL. ALSO WAS DRIVING ONE DAY AND ROOK A TURN AMD MY BRAKES WOULDN'T STOP TOOK IT IN AND FOUND OUT THE ENTIRE BRAKE LINE WAS CORRODED HAD TO SPEND THOUSANDS TO GET IT FIXED.”

“BRAKES ARE LOCKING UP AND THE ABS LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY COMING ON. WHENEVER VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE BRAKES CALIPERS TEND TO STICK AND THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY. *TR”

“THE FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS THE ENGINE WAS DYING WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT, WITH THE ENGINE IDLING, THE CAR IN DRIVE AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I STARTED TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WHEN I HAD TO COME TO A STOP, SO THE ENGINE WOULDN'T SPUTTER, AND THEN BACK IN DRIVE WHEN I WANTED TO GO. AFTER ABOUT A DAY OR 2, THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, AND THE BRAKE WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO STOP THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO MY HYUNDAI DEALER, WHO SAID IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION (SPECIFICALLY TORQUE CONVERTER). I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP, WHICH REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION. BUT THE CAR WAS STILL REVVING WHEN IT WAS PUT IN DRIVE AND IDLING, WITH THE BRAKE ON. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM, WHICH TOOK ABOUT A MONTH, AND FOUND THAT THE CONTROL MODULE HAD MALFUNCTIONED. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, IT WAS SENDING THE SIGNAL TO REV THE ENGINE AND CUT THE POWER TO THE BRAKES WHEN THE CAR WAS IDLING IN GEAR. HE SAID HE FOUND THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR RANGE, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL BECAUSE NO SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATHS HAD OCCURRED BECAUSE OF IT YET. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME TILL…”
