| Description of the problem | This issue has been going on for months now. And i have driven around seeing many other hyundai sonatas with he same issue. When i hit my brake, the brake lights will not go out. I have finally figured out how to get them to go out (pulling my brake upwards with my foot). This has resulted in my lights staying on and my car dying a few times. It is a very dangerous problem as others are not able to tell when i am braking because my brake lights stay on wihtout putting my foot under the brake and pulling up on it. |
