My 2006 Hyundai Elantra brake lights have stopped functioning all of a sudden. I replaced both bulbs and nothing changed. There is a safety recall for this model vehicle for a brake light switch malfunction and describes in detail the exact problem with my car but my VIN does not appear to qualify for this campaign.

My passenger occupancy sensor no longer detects the presence of a passenger, so my passenger airbag is always on, when the seat is both occupied or unoccupied. Also, my brake light switch no longer works, so my brake lights do not turn on when I depress the brake pedal. Both of these issues occur incessantly.

Annual safety check today revealed all of the break lighting was not working on our 2006 Hyundai Elantra. Checked fuse and bulb and all are working. Searched this website and found recalls for many models and years of Hyundai, but not this particular year and model. I noticed also that the left and right turn signal lights would operate without the key in the ignition. These issues were resolved with the instalation of a new switch

My car has had engine lights go on and off for years on their own, windows that you use one switch for that make a different window go down and then sometimes they don't go up, my brakes haven't released the cruise control at times and now my passenger air bag light won't go off so I can't pass inspection. This is not something I had anything to do with and want it fixed, it's a safety issue

2006 Hyundai Elantra brake lights stopped working. Called Hyundai (800.633.5151) since this model and year was under Hyundai recall# 092 (htsa 09V280000). Provided VIN number and representative (kayla) told me that that specific VIN was not eligible and that I could send a postage letter to a po box for appeal. Obviously I am going to take the car to my mechanic to repair to avoid any injury.

I have a bad brake switch, and noticed that the only recall is in puerto rico. I believe that this is a safety issue that Hyundai America should be recalling on all affected vehicles. I have noticed many complaints on this issue. Please review and make Hyundai fix this "safety "issue. Thank you.

Brake switch bad, no brake lights. Occasionally, it would keep the car from starting. Had to replace at my expense as Hyundai said my car was not one of the recalls for the bad brake switch.

Upon application of brake pedal there was a loud grinding sound from the right rear. I took the car to a reputable brake service provider who informed me that the right rear brake drum could not be removed due the fact that the shoes were extended to far. There was no way to manually adjust them in as there was no access hole on the backside of the drum. They informed me that to attempt to remove them under the conditions created there would be damage or destruction of parts involved. Provider was able to visibly inspect the brake shoes and determined that there was plenty of material remaining. Why would there be no access to adjust?

While driving when I go to brake my brakes don't turn on. All three of them stay turned off. I was pulled over for this twice in the past year. The first time my insurance company told me that there was a recall on my car, but when I called the dealer they told me that my VIN wasn't affected in the recall. They started working again when I replaced my battery but who knows for how long. I was just pulled over again on Monday for the same thing.

Brake lamps failed to work on my 2006 Hyundai Elantra. Dealer technicians identified an internal failure of the brake lamp switch which they replaced at a cost of $145. I later noticed that there was a limited recall in July 2009 at NHTSA campaign #09V280000 for 2005-2007 Elantras in puerto rico, and then in April 2013, an announcement of a pending recall of model years 2007-2013. It appears that Hyundai has determined that they no longer need to take care of the 2006 model year even though it was originally identified as early as July 2009.

Hyundai recently had a recall on brake light switches. Unfortunately this applies to the 2007 Elantra and I have the 2006. My brake lights were completely out. After checking the fuses and the bulbs I realized it was the recently recalled faulty brake like switch to blame. $155 later it's repaired. They really need to include other years and models on this recall, and should be paying for this repair. I have seen numerous other complaints online from other consumers with similar issues. Someone could have rear ended me and I could have died had someone not told me my brake lights were out.

While applying the brakes, the cruise control does not disengage. I experienced this as the car "lurching" forward when braking, as the engine is trying to bring the car back up to the pre-set speed. This happened, most recently, while on the freeway in rush hour traffic. The sudden lurch was frightening since it was unexpected. The lurch almost caused me to make contact with car ahead of me. Luckily there was no accident. Even with multiple presses of the brake the cruise control did not disengage. It was only by using the hand controls was I able to turn off the cruise control. This has happened at least 2 times, but unfortunately, I cannot recreate the problem systematically.

Brake lights are not illuminating all the time when brake pedal is depressed, for the past week they only work for a minute or not work at all.went 2 times to the dealer before, twice they were working when I arrived, since last week they are not working except for a minute. I have 2 months with the problem I work 7 days a week and cannot keep taking time off. I was told that my specific model year Elantra 2006 is not cover by the recall, just to inspect them cost $ 120, if a problem is found parts and labor. Hyundai doesn't accept any responsibility. The car has 50'000 miles.

Brake light switch malfunction resulted in brake light failure. Part number 93810-3K000. This part has been recalled in puerto rico only, but failure of this part may indicate a more geographically widespread problem. This vehicle was purchased in Hawaii.
