2011 Hyundai Tucson POWER TRAIN,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC TO AND FROM WORK (AM/PM) THE DBC (DOWNHILL BRAKE CONTROL) AND ESC (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL) INDICATOR LIGHTS WILL TURN ON AND REMAIN ON UNTIL I STOP AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION. HOWEVER, WHEN I STOP, I AM UNABLE TO SHIFT THE GEAR INTO PARK. I AM FORCED TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES, THEN START THE CAR AND PUT IT IN PARK IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY. I MAY HAVE TO TRY THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I AM ABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE DAYS IN A ROW. THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM. THEY DID TELL ME THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SWITCH FOR SOME MODELS BUT MY VIN# IS NOT SHOWING A RECALL. I WILL NEED TO BRING IN THE CAR WHEN IT ACTUAL LOCKS IN GEAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 45 MPH, I NOTICED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON AND THE DOWNHILL BRAKE CONTROL INDICATOR (RED) WAS ON. I RETURNED HOME, SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE, RESTARTED IT, AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY. UPON RETURNING HOME THE NEXT DAY FROM A TRIP, WHILE PARKING THE CAR, BOTH INDICATORS CAME ON, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK. I LEFT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL, AND SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN. I THEN TURNED THE KEY ON, PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL (TO THE FLOOR) FOR 3 SECONDS, TURNED THE KEY ON, AND THE PROBLEM WAS GONE....FOR NOW. *TR

WHEN DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK (AM/PM) THE DBC (DOWNHILL BRAKE CONTROL) AND ESC (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL) INDICATOR LIGHTS WILL TURN ON AND REMAIN ON UNTIL I STOP AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION. WHEN I STOP, I AM UNABLE TO SHIFT THE GEAR INTO PARK. WHILE IN A PANIC, I MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND EACH ATTEMPT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. SO I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, THEN RESTARTED IT AND PUT IT IN PARK IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY. I MAY HAVE TO TRY THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I AM ABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE FIRST DATE. ALSO, WHEN I SHIFT GEARS A LOUD MECHANICAL CLUNK SOUNDS WHICH JERKS THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. THIS EVEN HAPPENS WHEN I START OFF DRIVING AND IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND SCARY. I HAVE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT FINALLY STOP. THEN AFTER ABOUT THREE DAYS IT START ALL OVER AGAIN. I SEE THIS AS A DANGER BECAUSE I COMMUTE 56 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK AND I THOUGHT I WAS PURCHASING A DEPENDABLE VEHICLE BUT APPARENTLY NOT. *TR

TODAY I WAS OUT IN MY 2011 HYUNDAI TUCSON. TWO OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH, ONE IS FOR TRACTION CONTROL AND THE OTHER HAD TO DO WITH HILLS(SORRY MY CAR IS AT THE DEALER AND I DON'T HAVE THE BOOK TO TELL YOU THE EXACT LIGHT DESCRIPTION; ONE IS ORANGE WITH A VEHICLE AND LITTLE SKID MARKS AFTER IT THE OTHER IS RED WITH A VEHICLE GOING DOWN A STEEP HILL). I WENT TO STOP AT A STORE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK FROM DRIVE, THE FARTHEST I COULD GET IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. AFTER MESSING WITH IT FOR 5 MINUTES I FINALLY GOT THE CAR INTO PARK. AFTER LEAVING THAT STORE I WENT TO GO TO ANOTHER AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND TOOK MY VEHICLE THERE. I HAVE DONE SOME SEARCHING ONLINE AND SEE THAT THIS IS NOT A NEW ISSUE WITH TUCSONS AS PEOPLE WITH OLDER MODELS(2010 AND BACK) HAVE ALSO HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND SOME OF THEM REPORT IT'S DUE TO A BAD BRAKE SWITCH AND ONCE IT WAS REPLACED THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED IN FEB OF 2011 AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 6600 MILES. *TR
