| Description of the problem | I parked my car and when i got out i notice my brake lights would not go off. I had to get back in the car pump the brakes a few times and they finally went out. The next day at work i didn't pay attention and when i got in my car for lunch the car would not start i had to get a jump and i drove to the dealership. I advised dealer of what happened they checked my battery and it was fine he says my brake switch light pad was bad and needed to replaced. This was supposedly fix in 2014 after the recall but this continues to be a problem and my dealership charged me for the repairs this time, per hyundai they only fix this for free one time. |
