| Description of the problem | Elec stability control lite on after starting car. Failed to start one time. Dealer investigated. Found part # 93810-3s000 (switch assm stop lamp) defective. Replaced switch. I checked the internet for this part number and found a significant number of failures of this switch. This switch can fail at anytime, causing loss of power and other symptoms. I sent this same message to hyundai consumers affairs. This switch must be marginally functional for it's purpose due the number of failures noted on the internet. Hopefully, hyundai will take action on this switch. Thanks in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. |
