Faulty brake light switch but was told by local hyundai dealer and hyundai customer service that my vehicle was not included in the recent recall. Over 1.7 million vehicles like mine were recalled. Mine has the same issue, why wouldn't mine be covered under the recall campaign? They told me mine was produced before the recall date! Really??? The part is very inexpensive and from what i understand, an easy fix. Why…

When parking in my garage i noticed the brake lights were still on although the car was off. The brake pedal was hot to touch. No amount of pumping the brakes would turn the lights off. Hyundai dealership reported other 2007 vehicles were recalled but not mine. They made me pay out of pocket for a known faulty part. Since they expanded the recall i believe they owe me a refund. *tr

Brake light would not turn off. Brakes pedal was hot to touch. Cars behind could not tell if i was stopping or going. Fearful of a car fire i had to drive all over town until i could find someone to assist. Previous recall on other vin numbers for this exact reason. Hyundai needs to expand recall. *tr
