Description of the problem | A friend driving behind me noticed my brake lights not working when approaching a red light. When we parked we tested them and none of the rear brake lights work. I do not know how long my brake lights have not been working but it is a major safety issue considering i drive in rush hour traffic in a city daily. There is currently a recall (campaign 09v122000) that i would have expected to include the 2007 hyundai elantra that i drive, but it appears that my particular vin is not included (yet). I am also bothered that i had to do all this research. When the car dealership and the hyundai customer service entered my vin, this recall doesn't even show up as a possible inclusion. I understand my vehicle was not part of the recall but considering other vehicles of my make, model, and year are susceptible to this particular recall, i would have hoped that it would red flag other vehicles that could be susceptible. Or at the very least, when a recall does occur, other owners of similar vehicles should be informed in an effort for those owners to watch out for the safety issues that may arise. |
