ABS light on intermittently / loose screws on trim

Here's something odd.. My ABS and ESC OFF lights came on together a few times. When it does happens, it's always after the engine is started. If I stop and restart the ignition, the light goes out. Is it time to see the dealer again

Here's another small issue: All four of the handles that are above the interior door openings, to help you get in and out of the car, were loose and one even fell off. It is as if the assembly line forgot to tighten screws here and there.

Then finally there is a minor dashboard rattle, as if there is a loose screw somewhere.

These are minor but pesky issues. Anyone else have similar problems?

Hi,
I have the exact same problem with my sonata
abs and esc lights are intermittent.
Did anyone post a fix for this?

I have had the ESC OFF that won't switch off and the ABS light. I took it in when this happened and they said it was the Brake Switch and the Steering Angle Sensor. The weird part is that the card that tells me that the part has come in says SENSOR-ANGULAR VELOC, part number HY93480-3K500. Initially, I was certain that this was not the correct part, but after calling another dealer, it sounds like it is the right part and it's just been misnamed.

I test-drove another used Sonata and it had the ESC OFF light stuck illuminated, but I discovered that somehow it was linked to the headlight control thingy. For some reason, if you turned it from function to function at just the right speed, the ESC OFF light would go back off. Very odd, I'd be curious to know if yours does that. I tried that remedy on the one I ended up buying when the ESC OFF light got stuck on and it didn't work.

It's weird to know that I'm not the only person to whom this has happened. My ESC OFF + ABS light came on one day and I took it straight to the dealership for diagnosis, but the lights haven't come back on since. The first time I had just the ESC OFF light (that was a few days earlier). ESC OFF was illuminated on both occasions, ABS light only came on during the second one.

But the same thing happens. You turn off the car, turn it back on, and no light. Kinda pisses me off.
