The car is our extra car so it doesn't get driven that much. The other day I was driving on the highway when I was pulled over and notified the break lights aren't coming on. My mechanic determined it the stop light switch the brake light switch. I was told there was a recall but my car its not part of the recall. Obviously from all the complaints I see online this recall needs to be expanded.

The vehicle was working properly then one day the brake lights stopped working. All other vehicle components work as intended including the night running lights, turn signals and hazard lights. I put in new fuses and replaced the break lights but the issue remains. All three brake lights (left, right, top center) do not work.

My stop lamp switch failed. The federal safety agency site shows that there is a recall having to do with my year and model for the stop lamp switch and or assembly. Mine failed, but the dealer states that my specific VIN it is not covered by the recall. Well the problem is wider than reported obviously because the proof is my switch failed. Please investigate. When I noticed the problem the car had been on the driveway for a couple of days and had not been driven. The failure manifested itself randomly while the car was not in use and had not been in use. This could have been on going, but I might not have notice.

For a few months I had a rattling noise coming from the rear of the car when my car was idling on a city street facing downhill (at a stop sign). Then it got suddenly worse for 2 days, so that it rattled all the time when idling in drive or park (stopped at lights or signs or in a parking space). Then it completely stopped rattling - and the next day another driver on the highway, on the 4th of july, notified me that my brake lights were not working. I don't know if it is a coincidence or not.

My 2007 elantra is (like all of these other complaints experiencing a break light that is chronically going out, even after getting the stop lamp switch replaced and before that multiple light bulbs. After getting the switch replaced, I was notified 2 months-ish later that my break light is not alluminating. When I called the dealership they said that was not showing up as a recall, even though I keep find it in service campaign #110 which says it can cause a crash. This has been an ongoing thing for years. It seems like every time I get it fixed it works for a short time and the next time I get an oil change they tell me my break light is out.
