| Description of the problem | My 2011 genesis sedan with 30,000 miles had brake lights fail 2 times. I would press the brakes and none of the brake lights would come on. On both occasions, the issue was due to a failed diode per the dealership. I noticed that there is a brake light recall from hyundai-kia that i saw in the news today. However, the article seemed to suggest that it only covers the genesis coupe. However, i can tell you that i had similar issues with the genesis sedan as well with the diode failure mentioned above. On the first incident around 10/2012, another driver on the road alerted me regarding the issue. The second time, around 1/2013, i noticed it on the driveway. |
