Description of the problem	One of the rear brake lights are not turning on while applying the brakes. On investigation i found that it might be due to the brake lamp switch issue mentioned on hyundai's website and they recalled a lot of vehicles in last couple of years. When i checked about the car's eligibility on hyundai's website, i found my car as eligible for repair free of cost. After talking to the dealer for fixing of the issue, they said that my vehicle is not eligible for the repair. Then i sent an email to the helpdesk with the details. Also, i contacted them on the helpline number. As per them, my vehicle was already recalled a couple of years back and the switch was replaced with a high quality part which should not create any more problems and i'll have to bear the inspection and replacement cost. I would like the company/dealer to get this fixed asap since the part has again started creating problems in just 2 years and i am worried with the further problem it may cause to my and my family's safety. I came to know about this issue today morning while commuting to office.
