2009 Hyundai Accent EXTERIOR LIGHTING,SERVICE BRAKES

MY BRAKE LIGHTS WORK THEN THEY DONT I HAVE REPLACED FUSES BULBS I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO CHECK THEY WAS WORKING YESTERDAY TODAY I WAS TOLD MY BRAKES LIGHT WASNT WORKING AFTER ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED. I WAS STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT. THIS ISNT THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED

BREAK LIGHT RECALL - LOCATION MOUNT VERNON, OHIO - DATE 12-12-2015 I WAS DRIVING TO A CHRISTMAS EVENT AND WAS PULLED OVER BY A STATE HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER DUE TO MY BREAKLIGHTS BEING OUT. I PULLED OVER IN THE NEAREST PARKING LOT AND HAD MY BOYFRIEND LOOK AT IT. HE SAID THERE IS A LITTLE SWITCH BEHIND THE BREAK AREA THAT WAS STUCK. HE FLICKED IT A FEW TIMES AND IT CAME LOOSE AND STARTED WORKING. I AM GLAD THE OFFICER LET ME KNOW BEFORE I GOT INTO I-71 TRAFFIC. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THIS.

I NOTICED MY VEHICLE'S BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS FAULTY AFTER BRINGING IN MY CAR FOR AN OIL CHANGE. AFTER COMING HOME AND NOTICING IT, I REALIZED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME EXACT PART FOR MY MAKE MODEL YEAR (HYUNDAI ACCENT 2009). AFTER CALLING THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDERNEATH THE RECALL. I AM SKEPTICAL THAT HYUNDAI MADE THERE RECALL LARGE ENOUGH TO COVER ALL OF THE IMPACTED VEHICLES, THUS THIS POST. IT LOOKS LIKE OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES AS WELL: HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/HYUNDAI/ACCENT/BRAKE-LIGHT-SWITCH-PROBLEMS.PHP *TR

I HAVE A 2009 HYNDAI ACCENT. MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE GOING ON AND OFF. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR BRAKE LIGHT SWITCHES. I CALLED MY LOCAL HYNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT MY VIN # WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THAT THEY DID NOT MAKE THE RECALL LARGE ENOUGH TO COVER ALL THE CARS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THIS MALFUNCTION. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOW WANTING $175.00 TO REPLACE THIS. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS ISSUE IN MY CAR. *TR

I OWN TWO HYUNDAI ACCENTS, A 2008 AND THIS, A 2009. NOW BOTH HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH BECOMING INOPERATIVE. FORTUNATELY, THE LACK OF BRAKE LIGHTS WAS NOTICED BEFORE ANY ACCIDENTS OCCURRED, AND THE VEHICLES WERE TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WERE REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE. IT SEEMS THAT THE RECALL FOR 2006 AND 2007 SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXTENDED TO THE 2008 AND 2009 ACCENT MODELS (PLUS ANY OTHERS USING THE SAME BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH). *TR
