Driving back home from work and driver behind notified me that brake lights don't work. I checked all fuses, bulbs and seems okay. I found that the brake light switch is defective. I saw recall on 2007 hyundai santa fe but not 2006. Will the dealer will replace my defective brake light switch?

Brakes failed to apply when coming to a stop at a red light causing me to hit the back of the car in front of me; speed less than 10 MPH; brakes "bucked" and would not re-engage and did not stop the car in time to prevent accident; applied emergency brake and turned off ignition to stop process; reported to local police; car has been impounded for investigation and confirmation of technical difficulties.
#1 car would not stop, rolled through a stop sign and pulled over into empty lot and tested brakes a few times and then it was okay. #2 was stopped behind a vehicle about 2 feet away, with my foot on the brake when car accelerated and felt like it jumped and I bumped the car in front. This was on 11-28-06 about 1 1/2 hours after bringing my car to the dealer to tell them that my brakes sounded like metal against metal and was told that it was normal on foggy mornings. The same thing happened the morning before but I was told to bring it in the next day because they were busy. I don't remember the date of the first incident when I rolled through the stop sign but it was about 4 weeks before the second time. Dealer had my car for 2 days but could not duplicate the incident.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving and depressing the accelerator pedal, the engine accelerated and when the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to stop. The gear was shifted into park and the vehicle stopped. It was driven to the dealer who could not duplicate the problem. Updated 12/18/06.
Abs system activates on intermittent occasions when braking from slow <20 MPH, also ABS pump cycles on during slow turns.
