Tl the contact owns a 2006 Hyundai Elantra. While driving various speeds, the police informed the contact that the brake lights were inoperable. There were no warning indicators illuminated.

Passenger airbag light in the center has never worked properly since I've gotten the car, the light never used to go off when an adult was sitting in the passenger seat which means the airbags were disabled. Now the dashboard airbag light has been illuminated constantly for about 6 months and does not ever go off, meaning all airbags are disabled. It came on upon starting up my vehicle and has not gone off since. This is very dangerous and a common problem with this car, but is not reported properly via NHTSA, instead many complaints are made via forums. Also, when driving at night and my headlights are on, turning the wheel and using the blinker causes all dash lights as well as my headlights and brake lights to flicker briefly. Rear windows are not able to be rolled down via the main control on the driver's side, only can be rolled up.

Brake lights are not iluminating all the time when brake pedal is depressed, for the past week they only work for a minute or not work at all. Went 2 times to the dealer before, twice they were working when I arrived, since last week they are not working except for a minute. I have 2 months with the problem I work 7 days a week and cannot keep taking time off. I was told that my specific model year Elantra 2006 is not cover by the recall, just to inspect them cost $ 120, if a problem is found parts and labor. Hyundai doesn't accept any responsibility. The car has 50'000 miles.

When pressing the brake pedal the brake lights will not illuminate. Changed fuses and bulbs but brake lights will still not illuminate when pressing brake pedal.
Brake lights stopped working. Despite receiving recall letters for our 2006 accent and 2009 sonata, the dealer claims that our 2006 Elantra with it's particular VIN is not part of the recall. Yet it's the only car we owned that had the brake lights fail. We contacted Hyundai USA and they were no help.
My brake lights would not come on. I took it to my independent mechanic. He said when he looked up my VIN, it showed a recall on the exterior lighting for my car. I called the dealer from there and they said they didn't show a recall. Today I contacted the dealer's service manager and after looking into it and calling Hyundai, he agreed and said that this recall was only for Hyundai's in puerto rico and that they couldn't do anything. So, why when I pull up my VIN anywhere, it shows this recall if it doesn't apply to my car?.
Brake lights fail to illuminate when brake pedal is depressed. Dealership says it is not part of recall 09v28000 but it is the same issue. How does this not fit the recall????.
Brake lights remain on at all times, which is confusing to people behind you. We didn't realize until battery lost all charge and car wouldn't start.
