Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Accent, model year 2007-2011 Azera, Sonata and Sante Fe,2006-2011 Tucson, 2009-2011 Elantra Touring, 2007-2010 Elantra, 2008-2011 Veracruz, 2009-2011 Genesis, 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, 2007-2008 Entourage, and 2006-2008 Tiburon vehicles. Originally, in April 2013, Hyundai recalled 1,059,824 model year 2007-2009 Accent and Tucson, model year 2007-2010 Elantra, model year 2007-2011 Santa Fe, model year 2008-2009 Veracruz, model year 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, and model year 2011 Sonata vehicles. In September 2013, Hyundai informed the agency that it was adding more vehicles to this campaign, representing an additional 652,512 units. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 1,712,336. In the affected vehicles, the stop lamp switch may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause an inability to deactivate the cruise control by depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, a malfunctioning stop lamp switch may also result in intermittent operation of the push-button start feature, affect the operation of the brake transmission shift interlock feature, preventing the shifter from being moved out of the PARK position and cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate.
Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of Park without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch, free of charge. The safety recall began on April 22, 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall campaign number is 110.

LATER, THEY SAID SINCE I'M A LOYAL CUSTOMER (BOUGHT 5 HYUNDAI'S) THEY'D FIX IT FOR $177. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE! MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR HOME. INVOICE SAYS "CUSTOMER DECLINED REPAIR AT THIS TIME. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE." SHE'S CRYING. EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRES IN 2 DAYS. CAR HAS 97000 MILES ON IT. HYUNDAI HAS LOST MY BUSINESS AND I WILL LET OTHERS KNOW ABOUT THEIR TREATMENT OF CUSTOMERS.

Air bags, Sep 6, 2014
AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED, CAUSE IS FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR, THIS MEANS THE ENTIRE SEAT MUST BE REPLACED, I DON'T FEEL THAT WITH THE MILEAGE AS LOW AS IT IS, I SHOULD PAY FOR THIS REPAIR, WHY HASN'T THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY (NHTSA) ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE? MY MECHANIC TOLD ME HE HAS REPLACED MANY (OVER 100). AT GREAT EXPENSE TO THE OWNERS. DEFECTIVE SAFETY PARTS FOR A CAR LIKE THIS, OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE OF AGE, NOT MILEAGE, SHOULD BE ON THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
Air bags, Seat belts, Aug 1, 2014
AFTER READING IN THE PAPERS ABOUT 2006-200 SONATAS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG SENSOR INSIDE THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE THE TUSCAN. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR SOME TIME NOW AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SENSOR ISSUE I AM SURE HYUNDAI IS AWARE ABOUT. *TR

Air bags, Seat belts, Jul 26, 2014
AFTER READING ABOUT THE HYUNDAI SONATAS PROBE (2006 - 2008), I BELIEVE THE PROBE SHOULD EXPAND TO INCLUDE MY 2006 HYUNDAI TUSCON. SINCE JANUARY OF 2014, MY PASSENGER SEAT INDICATOR LIGHT ( ON THE DASH BOARD) HAS BEEN ON SAYING "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF". EVEN WHEN SOMEONE IS PRESENT IN THE SEAT AND THE SEAT BELT IS FASTENED. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY HYUNDAI DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME A SENSOR IN THE BUCKLE HAS GONE OUT AND THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF NEEDED. THEY TOLD ME THE REPLACEMENT COST IN $600, WHICH I CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE REPLACED. THIS LEAVES MY FAMILY IN DANGER IF AN ACCIDENT SHOULD OCCUR. *TR

Exterior lighting, Air bags, Electronic stability control (ESC), Mar 3, 2014
I BOUGHT MY 2006 HYUNDAI TUCSON WHEN IT WAS 1 YR OLD AND HAD 25,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS NOW MARCH 2014 AND THE CAR IS 7-8 YRS OLD AND ONLY HAS A TOTAL OF 55,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN GENTLY AND IN GOOD DRIVING CONDITIONS AND RARELY A POTHOLE HAS IT HIT. I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT TIME THINGS STARTED, MAYBE A YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT, BUT I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY ESC LIGHT COMING ON AND THE TMS COMING ON - THEY WOULD GO ON AND OFF RANDOMLY AND I EVENTUALLY GOT THEM FIXED - I THINK THOSE WERE UNDER WARRANTY, NOT SURE. BACK IN EARLY 2013 MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. THIS REALLY STRESSED ME OUT - FOUND MONEY TO BORROW. I TOOK IT IN AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME IT HAD EXPIRED. I PAID $1700 TO HAVE THAT FIXED. I SEE RECALLS DON'T EXPIRE - DO I HAVE A CASE AGAINST THEM TO GET MY MONEY BACK? ALSO, NOW MY ESC LIGHT IS STARTING TO COME ON AGAIN. SOME TIMES 5 MINS OR SO AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND SOMETIME UPON TURNING ON THE HEADLIGHTS. I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ON A VEHICLE THAT ONLY HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS NOT CHEAP TO FIX REGARDLESS OF THE CARS AGE, THERE IS LITTLE MILES ON IT. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE WITH THESE ISSUES? I AM ON FIXED INCOME AND CANNOT PAY ANOTHER DIME TOWARDS FIXING THESE REPETITIVE WARNING198088 LIGHT ISSUES. THESE CARS ARE STEALING FROM US, WHAT SHOULD BE WORKING TO BEGIN WITH... THANKS - HOPE YOU HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR ME. ESPECIALLY ABOUT REFUNDING THE $1700. IF I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ESC IT WON'T GET FIXED, IT WILL ONLY BREAK AGAIN. *TR
