Consumer Description

I HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS IN MY 2006 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WHICH I JUST DISCOVERED. I REPLACED THE FUSES BUT PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED. WHILE RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, CAME ACROSS A NOTIFICATION THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH IN THESE MODELS ARE BEING RECALLED. I CALLED CONSUMERS AFFAIRS WITH HYUNDAI AND WAS REFERRED TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP. TODAY, 5/12 WENT TO THE NEW PORT RICHEY HYUNDAI DEALER AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE REP THERE IS NO RECALL AND ALL OF THIS WAS INTERNET GARBAGE. I LEFT WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS. WENT TO THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS AND THEY CAN NOT GET THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AS OUT OF STOCK. LOCAL DEALER DOES NOT RECOGNIZE A RECALL AND AUTO PARTS STORE CAN NOT GET THE PART. NEED ASSISTANCE PLEASE. THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR TOM KINSELLA
