| Description of the problem | Esc off light is illuminated when vehicle is not in park, and check engine light is illuminated. Brake lights don't work (seem to be always on). I got the problem code from the vehicle, did some research, and found hyundai campaign 092 covered these conditions caused by a faulty stop lamp switch. I contacted hyundai, and they informed me my vehicle was manufactured (july 2006) prior to the recall date range (which started in oct 2006), and would not be replaced without charge by a dealer. This is the same problem as was covered in the recall, and hyundai should be liable to fix it! |
