 The transmission/gears gets stuck when i want to put it in reverse. this happened 5 times in the last 3 months. i brought the car and complained to the dealer and they said it could be a brake light issue and could not fix it unless they see the problem when it happens. this problem occurs randomly. it happened again last week so i scheduled to bring it in to the dealer this week. *tr

 Today i was out in my 2011 hyundai tucson. two of the lights came on the dash, one is for traction control and the other had to do with hills(sorry my car is at the dealer and i don't have the book to tell you the exact light description; one is orange with a vehicle and little skid marks after it the other is red with a vehicle going down a steep hill). i went to stop at a store and my car would not go into park from drive, the farthest i could get it was in neutral. after messing with it for 5 minutes i finally got the car into park. after leaving that store i went to go to another and had the same issue. i immediately called the dealer for service and took my vehicle there. i have done some searching online and see that this is not a new issue with tucsons as people with older models(2010 and back) have also had the same issue and some of them report it's due to a bad break switch and once it was replaced they didn't have the problem again. my car was purchased in feb of 2011 and has approximately 6600 miles.
