At 16343 mileage, electronic stability control (ESC) warning light illuminated and vehicle was difficult to shift out of park. Dealer replaced brake light assembly under warranty. At 40,100 mileage, ESC warning light again illuminated. Dealer again replaced the brake light assembly switch under recall campaign 092. At 87,719 mileage, the ESC warning light again illuminated and vehicle was difficult to shift out of park. Dealer again replaced the brake light assembly switch at my cost, even though the bad switch had been replaced due to a recall. At 129,000 mileage, the ESC warning light is once again illuminated and the vehicle is difficult to shift from park. This means that the brake light switch is again bad. The vehicle is on it's 4th brake light switch. Since this is part of a part defect recall, hyundai should warrant the replacement part for lifetime free replacement, but they do not. The replacement recall part is obviously no better than the part it replaces. The brake light switch is not a routine wear part, and at this degree of failure, an severe design flaw is indicated. This is a critical safety item that affects electronic stability control, shifting, and brake light illumination.

Car's rear passenger side caliper grabbed the brakes, started to wear rotor. We replaced caliper hose, which we thought fixed the problem. Feb 10 2014, started noticing odor. Got worse on 2/16, brought car into brake place on a sunday. Replaced the rotors, manually tested calipers, which seemed fine. 2/22, smelled same brake metal smell; brought car back in, they saw rotor was again worn blue from heat, and they replaced caliper and rotor again. Same smell on 2/25, after driving car only ~30 miles. Caliper apparently again malfunctioning.

My ESC off light keeps coming on the dashboard causing the car to not shift out of park. There was a recall of the stop lamp switch which was performed in 2009. I read in a newspaper article that there is an update to this recall which will be performed starting in june 2013. Dealer refused to perform the recall work at this time and hyundai USA states that the recall (campaign 110) is not valid for 2007 vehicles, only 2008-2009. I am very concerned, this is a serious safety issue and hyundai refuses to repair my vehicle.
