All 3 brake lights stopped working. My wife driving behind me discovered the problem. This is the 2nd time of the same problem. (the 1st incident was also reported to the federal safety agency.) the first time dealer fixed it, it's a burnt diode. Afterward a recall service was performed about brake light. Apparently none fixed the real issue. I am an electric engineer and I guess it was a common design mistake: the designer didn't count momentary high current from cold light bulb when choosing the component.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 hyundai genesis. The contact stated that the brake lights failed randomly. The dealer replaced the brake light diodes several times, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 8,110.
Brake lights stop working.
Brake lights quit working entirely. There was a recall on the brake switch on this vehicle which was replaced on 12/08/13. Seven months later there is a problem with the brake lights and the service manager is telling me now it is a LED diode. This diode, z01, seems to be a problem. I did not have any issues with my brake lights before the recall work was done and,I've own this car since it was new, now 7 months later I have a brake light issue. This is a serious matter and should be rectified.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 hyundai genesis. While the vehicle was at a complete stop with the brake pedal depressed, the contact was alerted by another motorist that the brake lights were not illuminated. The vehicle was previously repaired according to the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v113000 (exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic); however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
The brake lights repeatedly do not work and there is no warning to driver on dash board. This has now occurred three time: november 8, 2011 april 20, 2013 june 16, 2014.
The brakes light have failed more than once and now don't work at all... I looked deeper into the issue and it looks like a diode needs to be replaced. This needs to be a recall it is a major safety issue and has happened to numerous owners.
I have encounter this problem multiple time with this vehicle through out my ownership. I bought the vehicle new and have encountered lost of brake lights repeatedly. I am usually informed during a scheduled maintenance that I have no brake lights. The service department replace the z01 diode, but it doesn't seem to be a permanent fix, because I've had this part replaced repeatedly due to lost of brake lights. The lost of brake lights is a very danger situation for all drivers that could result in crash, injury and fatalities. This seems to be a common issue with hyundai genesis vehicles per my investigation online.
No brake lights when brake applied! I was told by passing car that almost rear ended me. I was completely unaware how long it had been like that as there was no indicator light. .... Updated 10-17-13 *bf the consumer has since traded the vehicle.
To my surprise I was stopped by a police officer in march 2013 because none of the brake lights were working. He issued a fix-it ticket. I took the car to a hyundai dealership and they replaced a diode to fix the problem. Now less than six months later on august 31, 2013 I was told by another driver that my brake lights were not working (again). I took it to a hyundai dealership and they replaced the diode again. Despite my asking why the brake lights keep failing, hyundai dealership did not provide an explanation. This is dangerous because the vehicle operator has no knowledge of when the brake lights stop working and it could result in my vehicle being rear ended. I have no idea how long I was driving both times w/o brake lights working.
This is the second time brake lights failed. No indication to driver. Almost caused an accident. Same diode package replaced as the first failure reported less than a year ago and 5 k miles. Updated 10/22/13 *cn the consumer statedall brake lights fail including the right, left and center.
None of the brake light works when brake applied. *tr updated 10/22/13
(electrial issues) reported to dealer that radio crackles and stop working as well as the blue tooth that only works maybe 1/8 of the time. They found "no problems" (on my first of 5 trips to the dealer within 7 months back up camera stopped working. (replaced) steering wheel stuck up in the high position driver seat cushion buckled and had to be replaced, (replaced in feb 2011) fuel gauge/warning light failed which caused me to run out of gas. (no warning lights came on and the miles to go states I had 56 miles) part is on order for radio or radio replaced not sure as of 9/27/11. Hoping all this will also fix the blue tooth as the dealer states this is no problem. Dash light go out. So after only 7 months of owning this car, the car has been back to the dealer at least 5 times (with problems), the most recent, 9/26/11 I took car in and told them to keep it until all fixed (they have had the cars for 3 days so far). The problem is that it is electrical and unless they see it they can't fix it. With each of failure this car has I would document with a picture to proved I wasn't crazy!! So whats the deal with the blue tooth, its not my phone as it is paired and connected. The only way it will work is that if I unpair my phone while in the car before starting, start the car, pair the phone, connect the phone, wait 5 min and I might get lucky than it will work. I can dial thru the car, shows who I dialing, my phone say blue tooth on, but will not work, display pad, will show repeated that the call has ended, and flash back and forth to dial pad and message call has ended,while I had to switch from blue tooth to speaker and talk directly to hand held phone. When a call comes my phone rings, the speaker in the car rings, but the bluetooth is unable to p/u the car. So frustating!
Subject: hyundai genesis 2009 4.6 litre. New car 2000 miles driven. When one comes to a stop with the engine running and transmission in "drive" and then when the stop/start button is pressed, the engine stops but when the gear shift lever is pushed forward from "drive" towards "park" it will only travel as far as "neutral". This is a hazard as anyone not familiar with driving the car might assume the car is in "park" or leave it in "drive" or ""neutral", walk away and permit the car to free wheel roll. In a conventional car without a keyless feature, it is impossible to get the keys out of the ignition until the gear shift is placed in "park", a feature in place for many years and universally accepted. When one turns off the engine as described above there is a momentary warning message displayed on the dash which says, "move into park" but as described above one cannot shift the lever past "neutral" unless the stop/start button is pressed and the motor restarts. In other words, one cannot put the car into "park" without the leaving the engine running. It seems to me that there should be a voice warning which says, "restart engine and place in "park". After having a bit of a scare parking on the steep grade I have learned the hard way but I remain concerned about our friends and auto service personnel who will drive the car and who are not familiar with this car. *tr updated 03/09/10 *bf updated 04/05/10 *bf the consumer stated it was determined the problem with TPMS was the an issue from the headlight voltage regulator assemblies creating a radio frequency and canceling or confusing the signal present fromt the left front tire sensor to the computer system for the TPMS.
