Tl* the contact owns a 2006 hyundai entourage. The contact stated that while having the vehicle inspected, it was found that all of the bushings had failed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where no failure was found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000. ..updated 04/18/13 *bf the consumer stated after hearing a strange creaking and clicking sound over a period of months. He took the vehicle to the dealer to have it inspected. The dealer stated there was a split in the right outer tie rod, which he authorized them to fix. However, a month later, the consumer took the vehicle back to the dealer, because the sound had returned. The technician found the frame bushing had worn out. The consumer authorized them to replace the frame bushing. While replacing the bushing, the technician noticed that the bushing had no resistance and it went it with little force. The consumer stated he continued to hear the noise, so he took the vehicle to his regular mechanic. An inspection revealed the sub-frame was damaged and there were two holes and a crack that had occurred. It was their opinion that the damage was not from natural wear and use; rather it likely occurred during the bushing replacement. Also, the vehicle had numerous electrical problems, since it was purchased. Every couple of months, the consumer would have to replace the light bulbs, because they would constantly go out. The turn signal would work sometimes and sometimes it wouldn't work. Updated 04/24/13

- What is wrong
- Hyundai is recalling 532,633 my 2006-2007 accent, entourage, sonata, my 2007 azera, elantra and santa fe, my 2005-2007 tucson and my 2007-2008 veracruz vehicles. The stop lamp switch in the affected vehicles may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause the brake lights to remain illuminated when the brake pedal is released. A stop lamp switch malfunction may also affect the operation of the brake-transmission shift interlock feature so the transmission shifter would not be able to be shifted out of the park position. It may also cause the electronic stability control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate, and it may not deactivate the cruise control when the brake pedal is depressed.
- Risk
- Any of these malfunctions, alone or in combination, may lead to a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the stop lamp switch free of charge. The recall began on june 29, 2009. Owners may contact the hyundai customer assistance center at 1‑800‑633‑5151.

Defect investigations
Stop lamp switch failure
By letter dated april 15, 2009, hyundai notified the agency that it will conduct a safety recall (the federal safety agency recall number 09v122) to replace the stop lamp switches on many of its model year 2005-2008 vehicles.see recall 09v122 for a complete list. The agency opened its investigation based on five complaints of stop lamp failure across several 2007 hyundai models. The agency also received early warning (ewr) reports on this issue.most of those failures were traced to the improper operation of the stop lamp switch that controls stop lamp illumination.a malfunctioning stop lamp switch can cause the vehicle's brake lights not to light during braking, or alternatively, it can cause the brake lights to stay lit even when a driver takes the foot off the brake pedal. Failure of the stop lamps to illuminate properly creates the hazard of rear end collisions when drivers following the subject vehicle do not recognize that the vehicle is slowing or stopping. Hyundai reported one crash incident (a frontal impact), without injury, that was alleged to have been caused by this defect.the agency reviewed the incident and cannot conclude that it is related to this defect. There are other potential problems related to failure of the stop lamp switch: failure of the cruise control to disengage, interference with proper functioning of antilock brakes and electronic stability control, and inability to move the gear shift lever out of park position.based on the above safety recall, this investigation is closed.
