| 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. | ||||||

| My entourage exhibits intermittent significant low-speed engine braking when driving in the auto 'drive' position. this braking effect is similar in effect to the actual light application of the brakes. this was immediately reported to the hyundai dealer upon purchase delivery of the vehicle. dealer has attempted to fix by performing transmission re-programming. this has modified the behavior to make the occurrence of this much more intermittent, but still not fixed it. i have two safety concerns with this. the first is i have almost been rear-ended by another driver once, and that was on dry pavement. this vehicle actually performs a braking function without the benefit of the vehicles brake lights being displayed. we live in wisconsin where the road conditions get icy during the winter. the braking is significant enough that i'm concerned about it causing the vehicle to enter an uncontrolled skid on icy roads, particularly in conditions of approaching intersections requiring a stop or yield and also when exiting highway ramps which can become very slippery. hyundai and dealer have both now decided this is 'normal', even though it is very intermittent. hyundai will no longer address this. the vehicle operates to coast in a safe manner about half the time the gas pedal is released, which leads me to believe it should be capable of doing so all the time. this appears to be a design flaw with the engine/powertrain that can be affected by programming, but hyundai will no longer address and has left me with no recourse for resolving as they will not recognize this as a valid problem. the engine/transmission modules do not display any problem codes for this, so hyundai's stance is it is not a problem. *jb | |||

| I purchased a 2007 hyundai accent se from a dealership in chicago. they drove the vehicle from madison wisconsin, so when i purchased it, it had 240 miles. within the first day of driving, i came to a stop sign and the car would not move. when put into gear, it would not accelerate or move anywhere. it was towed to the dealership, and the clutch has failed, and possibly damaged the transmission. *nm | |||
