ESC Going off
#22
Add me to the ESC Off club. It happened about a week ago, and lasted for one day. Hasn't recurred---yet. Just restarting the car didn't fix it, but after the car was off for a longer period of time, the light did go out. I hope mine is just the brake light switch.

Brake Light Switch
Add mine to the brake light switch club. My Hyundai dealer said this was not an uncommon problem across many Hyundai models. Pretty easy fix that was covered under warranty and hasn't come back since.

Resurrecting this thread...My "esc off" light reared its ugly head again last week. Happened twice.
The first time this happened, the brake light sensor triggered it.
About 2 weeks ago, I replaced a rear brake light...forgive my noobishness, but is it safe to assume that the brake lights being replaced would not affect the brake light sensor?

Well this is a new one. I have 2009 Elantra Touring automatic and I had my ESC light go off with less than 5k miles on it. They changed the brake light switch under warranty and that fixed the problem. However, I now have 50k miles on my car and the ESC light has come on again. It came back probably a week or two ago and goes on and off. Today I pulled into my driveway and could not shift from neutral into reverse, had to use the shift lock override to get it into park. Called my dealer and they said that was due to the faulty brake light switch. I am taking the car in on monday, but until then I have to use the shift lock override every time I go into or out of park. Pain in the butt. To top it off, I realized this evening that I have no brake lights. Has anyone else had such an extreme case of brake light switch failure?
