Sorry about that...here is the question:

I have an 08 Hyundai Sonata. When I start the car, the engine, oil, battery, and esc off lights stay on. This happens every once in a while, not every time the car is started. If I turn the car off and then back on, the lights go off. What could be causing this to happen and is it essential to get it fixed?

it sounds like the bcm is having issues.

is it essential, yes. you want to know when there is a real failure. at this point, you dont know whether to believe it or not.

Thanks! Do you think it is ok for me to still go out of town tomorrow without getting this fixed? It is a 3 hour trip in-state. Also, do you know an estimate of how much this might cost to repair?

no estimate as we dont even know what the failure is at this time.
