| My brake lights malfunctioned causing them to stay depressed and lit up until i disconnected the battery. now they won't even come back on. i was also having issues with the shifter and it was stuck in the park position. i found out through nhtsa that hyundai recalled thousands of vehicles for these same problems back in 2009. they said any of these malfunctions could lead to a crash. i had one representative from hyundai tell me that they don't honor nhtsa recalls. the dealers refuse to replace the stop lamp switch on my vehicle because they won't even acknowledge the recall. the recall that began on september 2, 2009, campaign 092, the article cited to contact this puerto rican phone number 1-787-999-4310 but i can't get through. the dealerships are not very helpful at this point and in fact the service manager at one dealership was extremely rude and stated that he would not work with corporate when corporate decided to back me with the recall. he told me that since my car was having those issues that it was a safety issue and that his recommendation was that the dealership honor that and fix my vehicle, but they refuse. i have no working brake lights and i need help in resolving this issue in a timely manner. thank you. *tr | |||

| My brake lights do not illuminate when pressing on the brake pedal, and my automatic shift is stuck in park unless i press the button in the small hole located to the upper left to unlock it. i was informed by hyundai that it sounded like i had a broken switch located by the brake pedal and that it was causing the brake lights to not register when i pressed in the brake pedal. i have an appointment for tomorrow but if there was a recall done on other vin numbers and mine isn't listed i'm going to be upset. *tr | |||

| I began having trouble taking my car out of the park position when i pushed the brake and one day i couldn't get it to come out at all. i called my local dealership and explained the problem and took it in to be check. they told me that it was a sensor that was bad and they needed to replace it and they also informed me that i didn't have any brake lights whenever i pushed them while driving. i was having trouble for about a month leading up to the day i couldn't get it out of park. i was able to used the shift lock override to force it out, but i still didn't have brake lights. it was fixed for about $150 including parts & labor. this was very scary though because i could have easily been rear ended since drives behind me didn't know i was braking. | |||
