2010 Hyundai Accent brakes problems

Filed Apr 15, 2024 · Brakes · IL

Brake line corrosion and leak on drivers side. Location approximately where drivers door meets passenger door. It appears that all of the brake lines except a one foot section in the above location are coated with a hard rubber for corrosion protection. The one foot section in question however is raw metal which is "protected" on the bottom side by a removable plastic covering. The covering is clearly inadequate as the brake line rusted through, potentially causing a serious accident. I notice that Canada has some recalls on Hyandai vehicles other than the Accent for rusty brake lines.

Takata recall: I was driving slowly in the rain when some cars in front of me started to stop. I slowed down but as I hit the breaks the car didn't respond. I pressed the pedal more and nothing happened, then it went down all the way. I moved the steering wheel to the right to prevent a crash but it still happened. My car is a total loss. My airbags didn't go off either and I had no break light indicating that my breaks would fail or that they were faulty.

The break lights are not illuminating. I was not notified of any recall on my car after purchase and I don't think it was ever repaired. My air bag light is continuously on even though diagnostics have been ran and no code comes up.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai accent. When the turn signal was activated and the brake pedal was depressed, the signal light went off without warning. As a result, the driver was pulled over by the police. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who performed a recall repair on the vehicle. The failure was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and simply took notes. The failure mileage was 83,000. The VIN was not provided.

I have the very basic model of the 2010 hyundai accent. As I was driving down the road a woman was nice enough to stop me and tell me my brake lights weren't on, so I pulled over and tried testing it out to see what she was talking about, every time I stepped on the breaks none of the lights came on. I went home and had my step dad take a look but nothing in the fuses were lose and none of the bulbs were burnt out, so we did some research online and noticed that hyundai sent out a safety recall "hyundai is recalling 1,059,824 vehicles, including the 2007-'09 hyundai accent, because of roll away risk and brake lights that may not illuminate.." I am more than sure this is effecting my car as well.

Brake lights are not functioning. Recall is listed for this vehicle from 2007 - 2009; however, hyundai is not acknowledging the safety issue in the 2010 model.

My brake lights are all out. All 3. I did some research and found that some cars up until 2009 were recalled for a faulty brake light switch. I am fearful I could put myself or others in harms way. This is a definite safety issue with this vehicle. I am not sure if there are currently other reports but I am doing so now. I am taking it to the dealership asap to have it evaluated. A technician has already troubleshooted replacing the bulbs and still not working. He believes it is the switch. This was stated prior to me doing research about a potential issue with hyundai's brake light switch.
