Reset brake light assembly shorts out every year. This has been an on going issue since I have owned the car and the dealer always seems to be reluctant to repair it. This needs a recall urgentlet!

Nothing has happened yet but ABS, ESC, dbc and parking brake light all on. I have looked this up and it seems this is happening to many of these vehicles. I'm just wondering why a recall has not been approved, for all these systems are serious safety issues. I'm bringing mine to the dealership Monday but was told I would more than likely be responsible for payment of this problem.

ABS sensors going bad on these models. Happend today when I was just sitting with SUV running. Got a C1209 bad right rear sensor, read up on it and more people have had multiple failures with this. Some stated they got recalls depending on where they live and others didn't.

SUV stalled out on expressway at 50mph. The engine made a loud tapping noise then engline and oil light appeared on dashboard. I coasted down the exit ramp nearly being hit by merging traffic. The brakes became hard and costed to stop sign. I was able to get to next block to my home by placing car in park and restarting. The engine at this point sounds like a woodpecker tapping on wood. My vehicle has been towed to dealership and awaiting warranty repair.authorization. This event mirror the recall issued by Hyundai and NHTSA#17V-226. I took the car in for this recall and was told 30min later that my engine was affected. I found out that they should have taken my crankcase off not just do an oil change. I am still waiting on world Hyundai to inspect my vehicle.
