Faulty brake light switch but was told by local Hyundai dealer and Hyundai customer service that my vehicle was not included in the recent recall. Over 1. 7 million vehicles like mine were recalled. Mine has the same issue, why wouldn't mine be covered under the recall campaign? they told me mine was produced before the recall date! really??? the part is very inexpensive and from what I understand, an easy fix. Why wouldn't Hyundai, and my local dealer for that matter, want to make the repair at no charge in order to keep a customer happy.

Faulty brake switch a/b. Obd codes p0571 & p0504 recorded. Symptoms: brake lights would not light with brake pedal depressed. Cruise control would turn on but not allow a speed to be set. Also esc off light remained on dash solid. Seems to be exact symptoms associated with NHTSA campaign id number 09v122000. We never received any notice of that recall from Hyundai. When I brought it to the attention of my local Hyundai dealership, I was told that recall did not apply to my vehicle. When I contacted Hyundai support I was told the same thing. I see numerous other Hyundai owners who have had this problem were also told the recall did not apply to their vehicle (via internet reports). I believe the recall should have applied to my vehicle. I have replaced the part myself and the repair seems to have corrected all the symptoms. The removed part is a genuine part of Hyundai/kia. It is p/n 92810-3k000. Below the p/n is ">pa66-gf30<" and "infac". There is a red and a green stripe painted across this face of the part. On another face of the part is stamped "6d07".
Brake light would not turn off. Brakes pedal was hot to touch. Cars behind could not tell if I was stopping or going. Fearful of a car fire I had to drive all over town until I could find someone to assist. Previous recall on other VIN numbers for this exact reason. Hyundai needs to expand recall.
When parking in my garage I noticed the brake lights were still on although the car was off. The brake pedal was hot to touch. No amount of pumping the brakes would turn the lights off. Hyundai dealership reported other 2007 vehicles were recalled but not mine. They made me pay out of pocket for a known faulty part. Since they expanded the recall I believe they owe me a refund.
Electronic stability control (esc) malfunction light illuminates, brake lights inoperable. Turning off vehicle and restarting temporarily restores function. Exact same symptoms as NHTSA campaign 09v122000 but Hyundai dealer and customer assistance center claim vehicle is not part of this campaign.

Brake light switch malfunction caused vehicle transmission shifter to be stuck in drive or reverse. Vehicle transmission shifter could not be shifted into park. Malfunction also caused electronic stability control to shut off and cruise control did not deactivate when the brake pedal was depressed. Brake light switch was replaced in 2010 due to malfunction with this new brake light switch, which also malfunctioned. Hyundai claimed vehicle was not part of recall id# 78947 for service brakes, hydraulic:switches:brake light. However, again, brake light switch was replaced in 2010 with another malfunctioning brake light switch.
Esc off indicator stays illuminated problem: no brake lights. Dealership states my vehicle is outside the manufacture date range included in the TSB campaign # 092 / 09-01-018 and will not replace the stop lamp switch under warranty. (my Santa Fe was manufactured in June 2007). Approx. $75 replacement cost for a known issue. According to online forums this problem is not limited to the manufacture dates indicated in the TSB. This is a serious safety issue; one that I would have hoped Hyundai would take more seriously.
Esc off light is illuminated when vehicle is not in park, and check engine light is illuminated. Brake lights don't work (seem to be always on). I got the problem code from the vehicle, did some research, and found Hyundai campaign 092 covered these conditions caused by a faulty stop lamp switch. I contacted Hyundai, and they informed me my vehicle was manufactured (July 2006) prior to the the recall date range (which started in oct 2006), and would not be replaced without charge by a dealer. This is the same problem as was covered in the recall, and Hyundai should be liable to fix it!.

Brake light switch malfunctioning.
I just had to have my rear brakes completely done at a cost of 500 dollars. I heard no noise, and there was no indication that there was any problems with the brakes except the fact that the brake light was on. I drive 95% highway and consequently very rarely use my brakes. I also had to have a front end alignment done and now my rear alignment is out of whack.
