My 2006 hyundai elantra brake lights have stopped functioning all of a sudden. I replaced both bulbs and nothing changed.

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.
