2006 Hyundai Accent right rear caliper on 6/6/2009 brake locked up new brakes and pad put on at midas winterhaven, FL with the manager advising that brake pads disintegrated and manufacturing defect suggested I contact Hyundai which I did. On 10/192009 right rear brake makes grinding noise I took the vehicle home on 10/20/2009 I take to midas tampa, FL they advise brakes into the rotors and the caliper is facing upward needs replaced and is manufacturing failure and to contact Hyundai and when I did call I was placed on hold for 20 minutes so I ended call. I contacted dealership butler Hyundai and service manager states it happens. My concern is this car 66,000 some odd miles the first time the brake locked up. This is a safety concern because the car is only 2006 and has sat idle while at work a minimum of 40 hs a week and most of the miles are highway miles not stopping and starting. This caliper is essential for safety of the road. Please review for recall on the item of Hyundai.
I have a 2006 Hyundai Accent. The brake light switch has gone out on my vehicle. This is actually the 2nd time this has happened. It went out the first time in the 2007 or 2008 time frame. I had it replace under warranty. About a week ago the brake light switch went out again. When I went onto pepboys website and put my car information in the alert of a brake light switch recall came up. I contact Hyundai to see if my car would qualify for the recall since my switch has failed and is a 2006 model. They claim my car does not meet the recall list. I told them that my switch has already fail and they said they can't do anything about. I feel that they put a bad switch on my car and that the recall should have covered my car. I have had 2 switch fail on that car and the second was put in during the time of the recall covered but they still refuse to cover. My car is unsafe right now until I have it fixed and Hyundai claims that the problem part is not there problem.
The brake/stop lamp switch has failed again. The switch was replaced in 2009 under the first recall issued for this problem. Another recall occurred in April of 2013, for select 2006 Hyundai Accents. Mine was not covered in this second recall. The switch has failed again and I believe this should have been included in the second recall.
