| Description of the problem | My brake lights intermittently stop working. I have had the recall done for the brake relay switch. However my brake lights are unreliable since the problem started in aug of 2011. We have replaced the bulbs several times. My mechanic now is talking about replacing wiring and or wiring assemblies. There is still something wrong with the brake lights and hyundai needs to figure it out. In all the cars i have owned i have never had such a dangerous and ongoing problem. The dealer ship says tough. |
