| I own two hyundai accents, a 2008 and this, a 2009. now both have had the same problem with the brake light switch becoming inoperative. fortunately, the lack of brake lights was noticed before any accidents occurred, and the vehicles were taken to the dealer and were repaired at no charge. it seems that the recall for 2006 and 2007 should have been extended to the 2008 and 2009 accent models (plus any others using the same brake light switch). *tr | |||

| The brake lights all failed at the same time. my daughter was following me and noticed they weren't working. i checked the fuse and it is ok, so the next component is the switch. i researched problems with my model and noticed there was a recall for the 2007 model year for the same model car for the stop lamp switch. maybe the same parts are being used in later model years. *tr | |||
