Description of the problem	My car battery started dying on several occasions in march 2015. On march 20th, my car won't start again and the repair shop said the battery and starter had died completely and i had to replace it at a cost of $737. 79. After the repairs on april 13th, my car won't start again. I told the repair shop that i noticed the night before that my brakes light was not going off. Firestone towed the car at their expense and did the repair to the brakes light at no cost because i had already paid close to $738 trying to resolve this issue. They found the issue with 'stopper pad'. I then submitted a reimbursement request to hyundai for campaign #136 but they only reimbursed me for $157 and refuses to refund the balance. My car on numerous occasions did not start. The issues with my car was the brake light staying in and killing my battery and affecting my car in general. When firestone billed me for the repairs they said should be done, the car continued to have issues until i noticed the brakes light was staying on. Firestone towed my car and repair the issue at their expense. If it was not related why would they repair my vehicle at their expose? I will file a complaint with national safety administration. This is totally unfair.
