| 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. | ||||||

| While pulling into parking space at shopping center coming to stop then car suddenly lurched over a parking stop post and curb going into a building i managed to get brakes to stop vehicle before hitting the building .. i did not know what happened. while reading problems about the 2007 model i found another person with the same problem. i was looking at problem due to a popping sound when turning the vehicle. there seem to be many of those already reported. we took to the dealer and the vehicle was out of warranty at 60,000 miles and we have 68,000 now so they wanted $65 just to look at the vehicle. i have taken the car to another dealership. while 2007 year model has no recall it sounds like it should for this problem. *tr | |||

| Own a 2007 hyundai elantra. last year i had to take it to the dealer after the shift gear locked on me in the drive position. i was unable to move the shift to the parked position had to use a screw driver to manually release the gear and shifted to park. i drove my car home that day the next day i used a screw driver again and shifted to drive and drove the car to the dealer. on the way to the dealer other driver on the road blew their horns alerted me that i had no brake lights. eventhough my head lights and rear lights were on. i pulled over and sure enough the brake lights were not working. i again went through the motions with the shifter and manage to drive the car to the dealer with the emergency flashers on. at the dealer they told me that the brake switch that operated the brake lights and shift gear burnt out and was replaced. i expressed the seriousness of the situation, driving around with no brake lights and the dealer just brushed it off and told me that i would not have the problem again. well yesterday (9/11/08) it happened to me again on my way to my job in jersey city new jersey. the shifter locked in the drive position and the brake lights were out again. again i had to manually shift the gear to park then back to drive in order to drive to my job a few minutes away from the incident. at 11pm i drove from my job to my home, without brake lights. this morning i drove my car under the same conditions to the hyundai in north plainfield, new jersey to get the car repaired. again i expressed the seriousness of this situation how it could cause a serious accident. the dealer again indicated that the problem was caused by a faulty brake switch, they changed the switch and told me that the problem was repaired that i should not experience it again. i am reporting this to your agency because this is a life threatening situation having no brake lights and shifter locking into place without any warning. i feel the car should be recalled. *tr | |||
