Brake Light Switch Problems of Hyundai Genesis

My brake lights will not come on when I press the brake pedal. I have had the fuses checked and they are all working. I contacted my local Hyundai dealership after researching the recall on the brake light switch. They will not perform the recall because they said it was already done twice. But there is obviously a proble if its happening again.

Brake lights quit working entirely. There was a recall on the brake switch on this vehicle which was replaced on 12/08/13. Seven months later there is a problem with the brake lights and the service manager is telling me now it is a led diode. This diode, z01, seems to be a problem. I did not have any issues with my brake lights before the recall work was done and,I've own this car since it was new, now 7 months later I have a brake light issue. This is a serious matter and should be rectified.

The brake lights on the 2010 Hyundai Genesis (and possibly other years/models Hyundai vehicles) have various problems with the brake lights failing to work. This is very dangerous not only to the Hyundai Genesis driver, but also for any driver following behind the car. . Read more...

Took my 2010 Genesis in for service. . . Brake stop lights were not working. Replaced defective switch. Took my same car in for state inspection on September 9, 2014, brake lights not working again. Replaced defective switch myself because of 2 hour drive to dealer and the safety issue involved with driving vehicle. Something needs to be done! these switches should not fail this often. . . . This is a very serious safety issue. We don't know how long this switch was not working since there is no way to tell when you are driving the vehicle. . . Thanks! john davis.

Was traveling on vacation and was notified by another motorist that I had no brake lights. Took to dealer and they replaced stop lamp switch (#13-01-021-3). Vehicle was still under warranty and no cost for repair. Dealership did not indicate that there was a recall or service bulletin on this part or with this issue. Had a second incident, similar as the first only this time the brake lights flickered when brake was applied. I was nearly rear ended by a motorist and then was stopped at a light by that motorist to tell me of the issue. The following day I smelled a very heavy electrical smell when I started the vehicle. I again took the vehicle to the dealership and they fixed the same stop lamp switch (diode) at no cost. However, the dealer said they had not had any Genesis in for a second time with this issue. The service manager suggested that I was "riding the brake" and suggested that this might cause the issue. Again, there was no mention by the dealership that there was a recall or service bulletin for this issue.
