    My stop lamp switch failed. The nhtsa site shows that there is a recall having to do with my year and model for the stop lamp switch and or assembly. Mine failed, but the dealer states that my specific vin it is not covered by the recall. Well the problem is wider than reported obviously because the proof is my switch failed. Please investigate. When i noticed the problem the car had been on the driveway for a…

    While i drive down the road, weather it be at 10mph or 55mph, my eps light and emergency brake light will turn on and my car will stop. It will not turn off until my car is stopped, turned off. And turned back on again. Since the power steering is lost i can not just turn to the side of the road. I have to pray that no one will be coming up behind me and hit me causing an accident. Before that will happen for two…

    The brake switch had to replaced twice within a few months. The three rear brake lights were not working. This was a common repair on other model years of the hyundai elantra. 2007 should be included in the existing recall. (recall campaigns 110 and 113.)

    Took hyundai elantra for recall repair in 2011, one of the repairs scheduled was the stop lamp switch. Was approached in traffic yesterday by a helpful, concerned driver who said the brake lights were not coming on. Grateful for that person, who may have saved our lives. Not grateful to the dealer who offered zero assistance - only an overpriced diagnostic fee plus standard parts and labor cost. This was after i had…

    My vehicle is experiencing the same is as the hyundai recall campaign 110. My car was manufacture before the dates in the campaign by approximately 5 months but falls in the same model year as other cars in the campaign. Here is a link to campaign https://www.hyundaiusa.com/campaign110. I contacted hyundai and they refuse to take care of this even though i am experiencing the same issue. The campaign probably needs…

    Both sun visor's would randomly fall from its hinge and would block my visibility while driving. The rear brake calipers have never worked. Especially with such low mileage. I have recently had a brake inspection and the front left caliper was the only brake that has been functional for the past 20,000 miles.

    My car when i tried to brake on the highway starting pulling to the right and when i let off the brake it corrects back. I took it to the dealer and they said it was the brake caliper and brake hose...my brother is an auto mechanic for lexus and decided to look into it further and it is actually the brake actuator where the brake fluid isn't even getting to the caliper. I am afraid to drive the car. This is a huge…

    Brake lights are not functioning. This model was subject to a recall for a faulty brake light switch but the hyundai informs me mine is not included. I suspect it may be the same issue. *tr

    A friend driving behind me noticed my brake lights not working when approaching a red light. When we parked we tested them and none of the rear brake lights work. I do not know how long my brake lights have not been working but it is a major safety issue considering i drive in rush hour traffic in a city daily. There is currently a recall (campaign 09v122000) that i would have expected to include the 2007 hyundai…

    In september 2012, friend told me my left rear brake light was out. Upon inspection, i noticed the light intermittently worked and did not work. Brought it to the dealer, who was unable to replicate my concern. So they said nothing was wrong. I have recently seen the problem again. Now, i've received a recall notice for the exterior brake lighting. Upon further research, i see this recall was issued in april 2013.…

It was hyundai who placed unusable and rusted parts in vehicles and later stated that we are out of warranty and…
