The passenger side door lock stopped working about two months ago. Can not unlock the door manually inside or with a key outside or with remote. Despite the age of the vehicle or warranty, this is without a doubt a serious safety issue, and the, NHTSA, should have already have had ordered a mandatory recall, given hundai motors is aware of this problem and has not acted on its own. Given the,NHTSA's record on recalls ( reactive rather than pro active ) based on the number of deaths required, any mandated recall is highly unlikely. . . The n in NHTSA, best represents neglect!.
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.
Brake switch at pedal failed. Replaced brake switch myself.
