I leased my car in 2012, and have had to replace my lights at least 6 or 7 times. I have bought bulbs to replace my lights and then noticed they work intermittently. Mainly my brake lights and tail lights have been the problem however I have replaced head lights low beams and fog lights before too! I am concerned about the air bags as I have passengers that are a heavier weight. Thanks

In march of this yr, a friend informed me that my driver side brake light was out. I had the bulb replaced & then got a notice about the recall. The work was performed in june (replacement of a stop switch I believe is what it was called)..........last week I went back to the dealer for a couple of problems that I felt were recall related. Both my driver side brake light was out again, my third brake light was out & I informed them that one day I was having a problem moving the gear shift out of park. All of these I felt were recall related but was told that they are not.........that the elantra has a history of burning brake lights out. And I was told that if the problem w/the gear shift happens again, to bring my car in. I feel that this recall, between the fact that the brake lights keep burning out, cruise control can be difficult to disengage & having a problem w/the gear shift are all pretty serious issues. I feel like there is still a safety issue w/the elantra. I don't think the work they did fixed anything.

Hyundai motor america has failed to resolve complaint concerning campaign 110. Sun visor will fall randomly and obstruct the drivers ability to see. Extremely dangerous!
