Description of the problem	I have noticed for months beginning in may of this year my esc light would come on, the light would come on and off intermitently. I took my vehicle to a hyundai dealership to inquire about this problem, i was told that i would have to bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing to find out what the problem might be. The service manager stated my vehicle was out of warranty for three months, and all costs would be my responsibility for the parts and labor. The manager also ask me if my brake lights were out ,because of prior problems with the stop light switch. I returned home and found all of my brake lights out, i had been driving for several months with no brake lights. I discoverd on line that all 2009 sonatas were recall for this exact problem that were manufactured after jan 01,2009, i was told this by hyubdai motor company when i call them about this problem. I was given a case number to have my vehicle fixed under the recall , case # 5994137. I received a call back from the same repersentative that my vehicle was not covered under the current campaign because my vehicle was manufactured on feb 22, 2008 and the current campaign were for 2009 sonatas manufactred after jan 01,2009. I then took my vehicle to my own mechanic for testing and repair he found that the stop light switch was bad and i had it replace. It is too consequential that a car manufactured 9 months later after my vehicle to have the same problem that i experience. I find that the same part used in the sonatas that were manufactured 9 months after my vehicle ,is the same part that was put in my vehicle you do not have to be a rocket scientist to understand this !!! Therefor, please investigate this issue regarding the above stated matter, not only for a recall issue but most importantly a safety issue. Thank you for any consideration you may give this incident. Sincerely. [xxxx] *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6)
