PE09003 | HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY | 01/14/2009 | 04/24/2009 | STOP LAMP SWITCH FAILURE | 09V122000 | |
By letter dated april 15, 2009, hyundai notified the agency that it will conduct a safety recall (nhtsa recall number 09v122) to replace the stop lamp switches on many of its model year 2005-2008 vehicles.see recall 09v122 for a complete list. the agency opened its investigation based on five complaints of stop lamp failure across several 2007 hyundai models. the agency also received early warning (ewr) reports on this issue.most of those failures were traced to the improper operation of the stop lamp switch that controls stop lamp illumination.a malfunctioning stop lamp switch can cause the vehicle's brake lights not to light during braking, or alternatively, it can cause the brake lights to stay lit even when a driver takes the foot off the brake pedal. failure of the stop lamps to illuminate properly creates the hazard of rear end collisions when drivers following the subject vehicle do not recognize that the vehicle is slowing or stopping. hyundai reported one crash incident (a frontal impact), without injury, that was alleged to have been caused by this defect.the agency reviewed the incident and cannot conclude that it is related to this defect. there are other potential problems related to failure of the stop lamp switch: failure of the cruise control to disengage, interference with proper functioning of antilock brakes and electronic stability control, and inability to move the gear shift lever out of park position.based on the above safety recall, this investigation is closed. | ||||||

POWER TRAIN - MANUAL TRANSMISSION | |||
11/15/2009 | 36 | 1 | |
I have a 2006 manual transmission hyundai accent (gls 4 dr 5 speed) with 36,000 miles. on a trip to vermont, i was driving up rt 7 mountains and accelerating uphill when my manual transmission jumped out of gear, revved up - i was in either third or fourth gear and put it back into gear - this happen around 6-8 time while going up hill and accelerating. after climbing the mountain, things were ok but on a low grade hill it happened a few more times and then once on a flat surface. this was about 10 days ago. since then, i am back home in syracuse, ny and it has not repeated itself but i have not had the opportunity to duplicate the steep accent with acceleration. i took this in to my hyundai dealer and of course they could not duplicate it - they indicated that they never heard of this before and bring it back if it recurs. i asked about computer readouts and they indicated it wouldn't show up. i did a google search and only found an article on problem with the pulse generator - i did this search after bringing it home from the dealer (http://www.carsurvey.org/reviews/hyundai/accent/r49906/comments/page-2/) have you heard of this before? *tr |
