1 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/13/2019

I bought my 2013 Veloster in September 2012. Sometime between 2016 and 2017(not quite sure), my parking brakes locked up while parked. I had to have my car towed to Hyundai. Hyundai wanted $900 plus to repair. My car was pass the 60k warranty so I took it to another mechanic, who repaired the brakes but they never worked. So I decided to just drive without the emergency brakes until last year, 2019 when the brake light came on while I was driving. I copied and pasted the following complaint posted by another Hyundai owner on this site: rear brake calipers stick causing the tires not to turn since the brakes are engaged this is due to the caliper being. Stuck. The dealer fixed mine on the drivers side but now the problem is in the passenger side and they refuse to fix it because the car has 63280 miles on it (3280) out of warranty. The 2012 model of this car had the exact problem and was recalled but Hyundai refuses to fix my 2013 for the same problem. Why. Look up "veloster sticking brakes" on the internet and see that this is a big problem and Hyundai knows about it (2012) but refuses to fix the later models with the problem like mine. This problem needs to be recalled before the brakes on one of them stick and cause a wreck. My car has two huge worn out spots (must replace) on the tire due to this problem. Please have this problem fixed before someone is killed due to involuntary stuck brakes. I encountered the same thing, but more. Last year, 2019 my brake light came on again while driving but since I knew I had no parking brakes, I decided to have my brakes checked. Bf goodrich checked my brakes and repaired my rear brakes but informed me that they could not fix the emergency parking brakes. It cost me about $900 again. I have documentation of these repairs, but I am unable to scan and upload them now. Please provide an email address so I can send them,.

3 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2015

I have a Hyundai Veloster 2013, I noticed my brake light came on the dash on Monday but went off. Tuesday morning when I was backing out the drive way my car got stuck in reverse. The car that was coming almost hit me he had to run off the road. He then got out the car and helped me get it back in to park. It took us about 15 mins to get it. I took it to the Hyundai dealership they didn't even try to fix it he told me to go home and they will give me a call if they get a apt open. So on my way home my car was jerking I pulled over at the store and got stuck my car wouldn't got into park, so I was sitting there with my foot on the break for about 30 mins until I got it to park. I have called corporate office and nothing still has happened I am about to return this dang car.
