general problems of the 2009 Hyundai Accent

Abs module leaking fluid.

Break light recall - location mount vernon, ohio - date 12-12-2015 I was driving to a christmas event and was pulled over by a state highway patrol officer due to my breaklights being out. I pulled over in the nearest parking lot and had my boyfriend look at it. He said there is a little switch behind the break area that was stuck. He flicked it a few times and it came loose and started working. I am glad the officer let me know before I got into I-71 traffic. I would like to know how to take care of this.

My car was parked in my driveway. I went out to pull it into the garage. When I took my foot off of the break to excelerate, the car lunged forward (without me giving it any gas). I returned my foot lightly to the break. The thrust threw me into the steering wheel. I called the tow service and had my car taken to the dealership for repair. During the ride to the dealer the tow driver said that he had to hold his foot on the break in order to control the car and get it on the truck. The dealership kept my car for three days and told me that there was nothing wrong with it. She told me that the diagnostic showed no numbers that would indicate there was anything wrong with the car. She stated that there were some codes that came up but they were erased because they didn't matter, they came up on their own. The diagnostic was done on day one. What was being done on the other two days? this is not the first time that I have had to take this car in for this type of repair. They always tell me that there is nothing wrong with the car, however when I get the car back it drives like new. Not so much this time. The breaks are still a little off. Is a dealership allowed to repair your car and not tell you what was wrong? I ask this because of the above and during one of my visits on of the workers told me that "they will do anything to stay #1".

I noticed my vehicle's break light switch was faulty after bringing in my car for an oil change. After coming home and noticing it, I realized that there was a recall on the same exact part for my make model year (Hyundai Accent 2009). After calling the local dealership, they said that it was not covered underneath the recall. I am skeptical that Hyundai made there recall large enough to cover all of the impacted vehicles, thus this post. . Read more...

1st incident: car was parked at store. Would not start and could not move shift lever while depressing the brake. Electrical system down. Called for tow, mechanic jump-started the car. 2nd incident: since the above time, we have had to manipulate the brake pedal several times to release shifter, then firmly move shifter into park, allowing the car to recognize that the car was not in gear, then the car would start. 3rd incident: April 24th, 2013. Entered the car, heard clicking sound from the direction of the inside fuse box. Tried to start the car, no power anywhere, car would not start. Depressed the brake to repeat the shifter steps as in incident 2. The clicking stopped. The clicking only stopped when I depressed and held the brake with the ignition switch in the on position. Still no power and car would not start. As I depressed the brake, the electronic odometer display went to half-numbers. When I tried to turn on the flashers, there was a "static noise" from the dashboard. Flashers would not work. Returned the key to the lock position, depressed the brake pedal. The odometer reading flashed on and off several times, then came back fully. Had to have the car jump-started in order to get home.
