Description of the problem | I was returning home this afternoon and my wife's hyundai elantra was parked in the driveway with the brake lights lit. I figured my wife had left her lights on and looked in the car to see they were off. I started the car and pressed the brake a few times but the lights remained on so i thought the switch had gone bad. My wife watched as i pressed the brake pedal switch manually and the switch worked but the pedal did not come far enough back to depress the switch and i saw online that a pad was supposed to be present but was missing. I found recalls for the past few years mentioning an issue with pad deterioration and figure this is something that might be happening to this model as well. |
