Brake Light Switch problems of the 2008 Hyundai Sonata

One of the rear brake lights are not turning on while applying the brakes. On investigation I found that it might be due to the brake lamp switch issue mentioned on Hyundai's website and they recalled a lot of vehicles in last couple of years. When I checked about the car's eligibility on Hyundai's website, I found my car as eligible for repair free of cost. After talking to the dealer for fixing of the issue, they said that my vehicle is not eligible for the repair. Then I sent an email to the helpdesk with the details. Also, I contacted them on the helpline number. As per them, my vehicle was already recalled a couple of years back and the switch was replaced with a high quality part which should not create any more problems and I'll have to bear the inspection and replacement cost. I would like the company/dealer to get this fixed ASAP since the part has again started creating problems in just 2 years and I am worried with the further problem it may cause to my and my family's safety. I came to know about this issue today morning while commuting to office.

2008 Hyundai Sonata. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle problems shifting into reverse or park and faulty brake light switch . The consumer stated her son drove the vehicle to school, and when he tried to straighten the vehicle, he discovered that it would not shift into reverse or park. Her son had to get assistance, to push the vehicle out of the parking space, so he could shift into drive. Her son was able to drive away, and while driving, it became apparent the cruise control was not responding normally by disengaging when he applied the brakes. He immediately drove to an auto center. The auto center determined the brake light switch was faulty and replaced it. The consumer stated shortly after purchasing the vehicle, she began having problems with the bower/fan switch, which would operate intermittently. After several visits to the dealer, they finally replaced the fan on December 6, 2011. On or about July 2012, she again began to experience the blower/fan operating intermittently. The dealer offered to do a diagnostic test to determine the problem. However, the warranty had expired by one week. Updated 11/25/13.
