Hyundai has announced that they are recalling certain models of the 2006 through 2007 Accent, Entourage, Sonata, 2007 Azera, Elantra and Santa Fe, 2005 through 2007 Tuscon and 2007 through 2008 Veracruz vehicles. They stated that the stop lamp switch in the affected vehicles may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause the brake lights to remain illuminated when the brake pedal is released. A stop lamp switch malfunction may also affect the operation of the brake - transmission shift interlock feature so the transmission shifter would not be able to be shifted out of the park position. It may also cause the electronic stability control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate, and it may not deactivate the cruise control when the brake pedal is released.
Any of these malfunctions, alone or in combination, may lead to a crash. Dealers will replace the stop lamp switch free of charge. The recall began on June 29, 2009. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.

The Hyundai is a good car if you like recalls every 3-6 months. please shop around. The old saying you get what you pay for it so true. This car handles well and is great looking and the service department is great, but if it was a good made car there would be no need for the service department so often. My Sonata has 28,000 miles and has been in the shop over 6 times for major problems.

Ive got 40k on mine and never been in a shop, also have ignored the stupid recalls. Have the V6 and change my own oil and use the recomended 5w-20w. I bet hardly any oil pit stops ever have any of that in stock. Not one
problem and I have a heavy foot. May get the spark plugs changed when it hits 100k. I bet Ill still get the same fuel mileage meanwhile.

PS Never trust anyone at any shop. Just like buying tires they will take all they can. Hard times.
