Consumer Description

WENT TO LAKELAND AUTOMALL WHICH IS A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO GET SOME RECALLS TAKEN CARE OF. UPON ARRIVAL I GAVE THEM SOME RECALL PAPERWORK IN WHICH THEY REFUSED TO LOOK AT AND SAID THAT THEY HAVE IT IN THEIR DATABASE. THE RECALL THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE "STOP LAMP SWITCH MALFUNCTION" WAS NOT COMPLETE. WHEN I GOT MY CAR BACK I CHECKED MY BRAKE LIGHTS AND THEY DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. I TOLD THEM THAT WHEN I DRIVE IN CRUISE CONTROL MY CAR RELEASES IT AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ILLUMINATED AND MY ESC CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. ALSO ON OCASSION ONE OF MY TAIL BRAKE LIGHTS WORK BUT NOT THE OTHER. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY FIXED THIS PROBLEM LAST APRIL OF 2014 BUT APPARANTLY THE SAME PROBLEM IS REPLICATING. THEY THEN TOLD ME IT NEEDED A WHOLE TAILIGHT ASSEMBLY. *JS
