Electrical System
After owning two '06 elantras, i've come to realize a recurring issue with the dashboard electrical components. When the turner indicator is engaged, the rest of the dashboard has a tendency to short out for a second or two before returning to normal.

Passenger airbag light in the center has never worked properly since i've gotten the car, the light never used to go off when an adult was sitting in the passenger seat which means the airbags were disabled. Now the dashboard airbag light has been illuminated constantly for about 6 months and does not ever go off, meaning all airbags are disabled. It came on upon starting up my vehicle and has not gone off since.…

I have a bad brake switch, and noticed that the only recall is in puerto rico. I believe that this is a safety issue that hyundai america should be recalling on all affected vehicles. I have noticed many complaints on this issue. Please review and make hyundai fix this "safety "issue. Thank you.

Regardless of whether or not a passenger is seated in the passenger seat, the 'air bag' light on the dashboard goes off - problem began upon initially starting car, and is not linked to any accident ever occurred. A recall should be issued by the department of transportation for the safety of passengers riding in these vehicles. *tr

All of the brake lights quit working, i called hyundai, because i had seen there was a recall on this problem. They told me that my car was not covered. Hopefully they will cover it, since there are several cars with the same problem. *tr

Brake lights fail to illuminate when brake pedal is depressed. Dealership says it is not part of recall 09v28000 but it is the same issue. How does this not fit the recall???? *tr

My 2006 hyundai elantra manufactured in korea in december 2005 falls outside the hyundai recalls for defective brake light switches (it is not a puerto rican-made 2006, or a 2007+ elantra covered by recalls), but uses the same defective part # (93810-3k000) under recall, as detailed in tsb 09-01-018. My car's brake lights failed to work, giving only 0.5v to the bulb sockets when brakes were applied. I tested the…

My car has had engine lights go on and off for years on their own, windows that you use one switch for that make a different window go down and then sometimes they don't go up, my brakes haven't released the cruise control at times and now my passenger air bag light won't go off so i can't pass inspection. This is not something i had anything to do with and want it fixed, it's a safety issue
