Brake Light On problems of the 2009 Hyundai Accent

My brake lights work then they dont I have replaced fuses bulbs I dont know what else to check they was working yesterday today I was told my brakes light wasnt working after almost getting rear ended. I was stopping at a red light. This isnt the first time it has happened.

There was a previous recall on this vehicle for faulty brake light switches. I took my car in for inspection and it was found that I had a faulty brake light switch. Hyundai claims that my VIN was not affected although there was a recall for the same year, make and model of my car for the brake light switch. Nhtsa campaign number: 13v113000.

I have a 2009 hyndai Accent. My brake lights are going on and off. After researching online I found that there was a recall for brake light switches. I called my local hyndai dealership and they stated that my VIN # was not under the recall. Leading me to believe that they did not make the recall large enough to cover all the cars that are affected by this malfunction. The dealership is now wanting $175. 00 to replace this. There was no accident or anything that would have caused this issue in my car.

I own two Hyundai Accents, a 2008 and this, a 2009. Now both have had the same problem with the brake light switch becoming inoperative. Fortunately, the lack of brake lights was noticed before any accidents occurred, and the vehicles were taken to the dealer and were repaired at no charge. It seems that the recall for 2006 and 2007 should have been extended to the 2008 and 2009 Accent models (plus any others using the same brake light switch).

The brake lights all failed at the same time. My daughter was following me and noticed they weren't working. I checked the fuse and it is ok, so the next component is the switch. I researched problems with my model and noticed there was a recall for the 2007 model year for the same model car for the stop lamp switch. Maybe the same parts are being used in later model years.
