Car following me notified me that my brake lights were not working on my 2008 Hyundai Elantra. I have change my brake bulbs 3 times last year and 1 time beging of this year. Stop and check all my bulbs and fuse they were in good condition. I called Hyundai customer care and was told that 2008 Elantra's were not covered by their recall for this problem, that I would have to bring the car in for a dignostic that will cost $110. They told me that even if their were a recall, the recall does not affect my car and is not in their database.
I have owned a 2008 Hyundai Elantra pzev for approximately 2 years and 2 months. In the two years that I have owned this car, I have had the brake light sensor go out twice. The result of not having a working brake light sensor is that I no longer have any working brake lights! I have only avoided a rear end collision because I have been advised by fellow motorists. I have already had one brake light sensor replaced under warranty: Hyundai needs to manufacture a brake light sensor that doesn't fail in less than a year. If Hyundai doesn't fix this problem, it is only a matter of time before I or a member of my family is seriously injured or killed because this defective part!.
