I have the very basic model of the 2010 Hyundai Accent. As I was driving down the road a woman was nice enough to stop me and tell me my brake lights weren't on, so I pulled over and tried testing it out to see what she was talking about, every time I stepped on the breaks none of the lights came on. I went home and had my step dad take a look but nothing in the fuses were lose and none of the bulbs were burnt out, so we did some research online and noticed that Hyundai sent out a safety recall "Hyundai is recalling 1,059,824 vehicles, including the 2007-'09 Hyundai Accent, because of roll away risk and brake lights that may not illuminate. . " I am more than sure this is effecting my car as well.
The contact owns a 2010 Hyundai Accent. The contact stated that the brake light failed to illuminate when the service brake was depressed. The contact replaced the brake light switch and the vehicle was repaired. In addition, the contact mentioned that the passenger seat would not detect when an occupant was in the seat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician diagnosed that the seat occupant sensor mat would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 94,500.
My brake lights are all out. All 3. I did some research and found that some cars up until 2009 were recalled for a faulty brake light switch. I am fearful I could put myself or others in harms way. This is a definite safety issue with this vehicle. I am not sure if there are currently other reports but I am doing so now. I am taking it to the dealership ASAP to have it evaluated. A technician has already troubleshooted replacing the bulbs and still not working. He believes it is the switch. This was stated prior to me doing research about a potential issue with Hyundai's brake light switch.
Brake lights are not functioning. Recall is listed for this vehicle from 2007 - 2009; however, Hyundai is not acknowledging the safety issue in the 2010 model.
2010 Hyundai Accent rear brake lights and the rear windshield brake light do not light up when I press on the pedal. I noticed that there are a couple of complaints on for the same issue. I replaced the fuses, the bulbs, and they still do not work. I researched this and Hyundai has 4 consecutive years 2006-2009 where there is a malfunctioning brake light switch issue. I believe this issue has not been resolved and I plan on letting the dealer know this when I go there tomorrow. I feel this is a major safety issue and they should replace this free of charge given the history of this. I also tried contacting Hyundai directly and said unless there is a recall there is nothing they can do about this. Stated dealers are independent and I would have to talk to dealer about resolving this issue.
Brake lights not working. Appears to be problem with brake light switch which has been recalled for other year models.
