My esc off light and check engine light both went on while I was driving and the car barely moved. What's could be wrong? I also had a problem around ten months where my check engine light went on and my car was shaking vigorously, but the next morning all was fine. Both of these problems happened after a rainy day where it became colder overnight. Could these problems just be related to the weather?

I had this exact same problem...turns out it has to do with a recall having to do with the stop lamp switch. I took it to the dealership and it only took about 20 minutes form them to fix it.
Hyundai is recalling 531,894 MY 2006-2007 Accent, Entourage, Sonata, MY 2007 Azera, Elantra and Santa FE, MY 2005-2007 Tucson and MY 2007-2008 Veracruz vehicles. The stop lamp switch in the affected vehicles may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause the brake lights to remain illuminated when the brake pedal is released. A stop lamp switch malfunction may also affect the operation of the brake-transmission shift interlock feature so the transmission shifter would not be able to be shifted out of the park position. It may also cause the electronic stability control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate, and it may not deactivate the cruise control when the brake pedal is depressed. Any of these malfunctions, alone or in combination, may lead to a crash. Dealers will replace the stop lamp switch free of charge. The recall began on April 23, 2009. Owners may contact the Hyundai Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-633-5151. This recall was the result of a Preliminary Evaluation conducted by the Office of Defects Investigation.

My ESC light came on and the car lose power and now won't go forward or back

no car told at all, zero
maker , year model , and engine, not told
Electronic Stability Control System.
it means ABS fails, scan ABS
and ABS fails easy if sensor to it bad ,scan it or
the actual brakes are bad or using wrong sized tire or mixed sizes super bad that.
the car needs service, so get some
or buy the scan tools for all that.
most cheap scan tools never to ABS so... that can be hard.
many shops will scan it for free and or small diagnostic fee.
do it.

btw, my jeep has ESC

and if I drive wrong say in a gravel lot, the lamp glows
and my users manual told me I was driving wrong .
and was.! I was demo 'ing this to my wife.
,,,,,when I do this here, do not panic if ABS/ESC lamps glow.
just drive more easy. in gravel, sand, grass or dirt or ice/snow.

so I stopped. ( the lamp in my case means ESC can not handle this gravel surface)
also my jeep I can disable ESC to drive off road.

we reset the error to see if it comes back
if does we need service.

These codes indicate your accelerator position sensor has malfunctioned. The computer has gone into limp mode, which allows you to drive to safety without damaging the engine. The computer is unable to determine how far you are depressing the accelerator and doesn't want to over-rev the engine. You need a new sensor.

By the sound of your problem your vehicle has an electronic automatic gear box but correct me if I am wrong..Now this can be caused due to a faulty electronic part but I cannot guarantee this.It may need a diagnostic tool hook up to the car to read the error code.(if it's giving a check engine light )

ESC Off and Engine Lights ON suddenly, the car won't move. Then, I stopped on the side and re-started. the ESC Off light went away but I still have Engine Light ON. I haven't driven since then.

Most auto parts stores Advance/ Autozone etc will get the diagnostics codes from cars computer and tell you why the light is on and what the problem is if there is a problem.

ESC light came on when driving - then check engine light

Likley there is a misfire in one of the cylinders. Usually due to worn out sparkplugs or wires. A check by the local mechanic, using his/her computor will pinpoint the problem. Or go to your local auto supply store & purchase the little computor to connect to your car computor (under dash at steering wheel). This will allow you to turn off the light. Cost is about $170.00 (Can.)
Hope this helps!
