The car is our extra car so it doesn't get driven that much. The other day i was driving on the highway when i was pulled over and notified the break lights aren't coming on. My mechanic determined it the stop light switch the brake light switch. I was told there was a recall but my car its not part of the recall. Obviously from all the complaints i see online this recall needs to be expanded.

The vehicle was working properly then one day the brake lights stopped working. All other vehicle components work as intended including the night running lights, turn signals and hazard lights. I put in new fuses and replaced the break lights but the issue remains. All three brake lights (left, right, top center) do not work.

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…

For a few months i had a rattling noise coming from the rear of the car when my car was idling on a city street facing downhill (at a stop sign). Then it got suddenly worse for 2 days, so that it rattled all the time when idling in drive or park (stopped at lights or signs or in a parking space). Then it completely stopped rattling - and the next day another driver on the highway, on the 4th of july, notified me…

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…

My 2007 hyundai elantra was supposedly previously a part of hyundai recall number 092 for brake light switch failure. According to hyundai customer service this problem was repaired on march 09, 2010. I understand now there is a new recall out there for the same issue. I did not receive any notification of this recall that was issued in april of 2013. So i am assuming that according to hyundai my vehicle is not a…

My 2007 elantra is (like all of these other complaints experiencing a break light that is chronically going out, even after getting the stop lamp switch replaced and before that multiple light bulbs. After getting the switch replaced, i was notified 2 months-ish later that my break light is not alluminating. When i called the dealership they said that was not showing up as a recall, even though i keep find it in…

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…

The brake light fuse was burning out repeatedly. The problem was determined to be coming from the 1157 bulb socket. The socket is part of a 3 bulb pigtail that connects to wiring harness. I was told by two dealers and hyundai america that a $700 wiring harness needed to be purchased. Apparently hyundai does not market the pigtail separately. I find this very irresponsible. You can not safely or legally drive without…

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.…

We have a 2007 hyundai elantra that is continuously burning up headlight bulbs. There are numerous complaints in regards to this, but hyundai has yet to recall any vehicles. My husband is replacing at least 1 bulb month. Please investigate this. It is very dangerous when you're driving at night and the headlights go out. There is no moisture of any kind in the headlight nor has there even been. *tr

Hyundai didn't fully assess recall id # 09v122000 on the brake stop light. Mine has malfunctioned twice in 1.5 years, yet they are now telling me that i am not a part of the recall. This is a very serious issue that can also involve the cruise control not stopping, shifting problems, and a possible rear-end accident. This needs to be looked in to - more people than originally estimated can be at serious risk - not…
