    I was on a city street and a driver behind me informed me that my brake lights did not illuminate. I checked at home and they did not light up when the brake pedal was depressed. The stop lamp switch in the vehicle is malfunctioning.

    I bought my 2015 hyundai elantra from the carmax in oak lawn illinois in september of 2018 and since then i've experienced a few problems with the vehicle and carmax is only telling me that it was a plastic bag on the exhaust pipe and that it will burn off on its own. I took the car into them on april 17, 2019 and today is may 14, 2019 and i'm almost positive that it doesn't take a whole month for a bag to burn off…

    I was returning home this afternoon and my wife's hyundai elantra was parked in the driveway with the brake lights lit. I figured my wife had left her lights on and looked in the car to see they were off. I started the car and pressed the brake a few times but the lights remained on so i thought the switch had gone bad. My wife watched as i pressed the brake pedal switch manually and the switch worked but the pedal…

    Takata recall. Notice when pressing the breaks and hitting a bump in the road or man hole cover the brakes seem to release and skip forward losing control to some degree. I thought that it would be fix after installing brake pads and rotors but it still continues. I'm concerned what might happen during the winter in icey road or snow covered road conditions.

    The electronic stability control (esc) warning light came on and i brought the car in for servicing. The hyundai service department said that it was related to the brakes. When i was ready to pick up the vehicle, the dealership called me and said the brake relay (which caused the problem and needed to be replaced) caused the brake lights to short and now i have to get them replaced as well.
