| 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 wife's hyundai tucson (either 2005 or 2006) almost caused an accident today when the acceleration became erratic and then stalled while at an intersection. she immediately brought it into our hyundai service center. i spoke with a service manager to tell him about a tps (throttle position sensor) problem that i have found out about specific to the 05-06 hyundai tucson. i also called hyundai because this problem will not show up as a 'fault code'. i have included here one of many notes found on the internet concerning this same problem: after having our 2006 tucson in the dealer's service shop for over three days, it was determined that the car needed a new tps(throttle position sensor). this was after they contacted hyundai techline and after i suggested that they test the tps as a possible cause (came to this conclusion after reveiwing many websites/autoforums. some facts: you will notice a stuttering or jerking feeling almost as if you had a manual transmission, were downshifting and releasing the clutch quickly when the engine rpm was not matched to the lower gear, or as if you tapped on the brake twice while decelerating. this motion can be either very slight or rather violent (once caused us to be actually pushed against our shoulder seat belt. 1. almost always occurs when either coasting or decelerating, never when accelerating. 2. usually happens between 40 -45 mph. 3. no fault code ever comes up so don't even have the tech waste his time. the service department drove the car for over three total hours to try to get a fault code reading with no results. 4. car will stall when coming to a stop 50% of the time. 5. happens when the transmission is warm. 6. feels like transmission is trying to figure out what gear it wants to go into when decelerating. | |||

| The problem was discovered after a stop for fuel during a highway trip. there was no indication of trouble before we stopped for fuel. when we attempted to return to the road we found that the transmission would not engage in either a forward or reverse gear. after checking atm fluid and finding it correct we tried again and found same problem. we finally found that if we increased enginer rpm to approximage 3000 rpm the transmission would begin to engage in third gear with some slippage. the slippage continued until we reached the approximate speed for normal third gear. at normal highway speed the car operated normally but would never shift into 4th gear. we wre able to get home and to the dealer. they told us the transmission had failed and would need to be replaced. one week later after installation of the transmission we were told they did not like the sound of the power steering and would replace that component as well. another week later we got our vehicle back. the dealer claimed they had not seen this problem nor had they been notified of this problem by other dealers. this occurred at 9500 miles. | |||

| I was driving down the highway at 60mph when the vehicle made a loud sound a roughly jerked forward and continued to do so as the car gradually downshifted. the car was found to have a defected transmission control module and they needed to replace the transmission due to this. this vehicle only had approx 5900 miles on it at this time. recieved the vehile 9 days later and had the car for 1 day when it continued to have more problems related to the transmission. in addition to this problem, the first few days of owning this vehicle i had to stop the vehicle abruptly and the car accelerated instead. i have read that others have experienced something similiar to this in the hyundai sante fe | |||
