NHTSA Complaint #10535232 — 2010 HYUNDAI ACCENT

I TOOK THE CAR TO HAVE THE BRAKES DONE. THE SHOP DID AN INSPECTION AND FOUND ALL BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING TRACING IT TO THE BRAKE LIGHT PEDAL SWITCH. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY STATED THE 2010 ACCENT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL CAMPAIGN BUT 2009 ARE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PART? I TOOK IT TO MY HYUNDAI DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE SWITCH WITH THE NEW REVISED SWITCH, SINCE THE OLD SWITCHES ARE SHOWN TO FAIL PREMATURELY. I WOULD ADVISE ANY OWNER OF A HYUNDAI OR KIA TO EITHER HAVE THE SWITCH REPLACED OR CHECK IT WEEKLY UNTIL THE PART IS PUT ON THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS HAZARD TO YOU, YOUR PASSENGERS AND OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD BEHIND YOU. *TR
