Electronic stability control (ESC) malfunction light illuminated, check engine light on. Diagnostic scan indicated a bad brake lite switch. Same symptoms as NHTSA campaign 09V122000 but Hyundai dealer and customer assistance center claim vehicle is not part of this campaign.
Faulty brake switch A/B. obd codes P0571 & P0504 recorded. Symptoms: Brake lights would not light with brake pedal depressed. Cruise control would turn on but not allow a speed to be set. Also ESC off light remained on dash solid. Seems to be exact symptoms associated with NHTSA campaign id number 09V122000. We never received any notice of that recall from Hyundai. When I brought it to the attention of my local Hyundai dealership, I was told that recall did not apply to my vehicle. When I contacted Hyundai support I was told the same thing. I see numerous other Hyundai owners who have had this problem were also told the recall did not apply to their vehicle (via internet reports). I believe the recall should have applied to my vehicle. I have replaced the part myself and the repair seems to have corrected all the symptoms. The removed part is a genuine part of Hyundai/Kia. It is P/N 92810-3K000. Below the P/N is ">PA66-GF30<" and "infac". there is a red and a green stripe painted across this face of the part. On another face of the part is stamped "6D07".
Brake light switch malfunction caused vehicle transmission shifter to be stuck in drive or reverse. Vehicle transmission shifter could not be shifted into park. Malfunction also caused electronic stability control to shut off and cruise control did not deactivate when the brake pedal was depressed. Brake light switch was replaced in 2010 due to malfunction with this new brake light switch, which also malfunctioned. Hyundai claimed vehicle was not part of recall id# 78947 for service brakes, hydraulic:switches:brake light. However, again, brake light switch was replaced in 2010 with another malfunctioning brake light switch. Updated 10/31/12 updated 11/1/2012

On my 2007 Hyundai sante fe: Check engine light is on. ESC off light is on. Cruise control has stopped working. I have found that there is a NHTSA action #peo9003 and also a NHTSA recall campaign number 09V122000 to replace the stop lamp switch which causes these malfunctions.. in a letter from Hyundai motor America (campaign 092/ 09-01-018) dated Jun 2009, it states that these malfunctions may lead to a crash. Yet, when I took my car to the Hyundai dealer they refused to replace the stop lamp switch at no charge to me as stated in the letter. The Hyundai technical service bulletin states that dealers must perform this campaign on all affected vehicles whenever an affected vehicle is in the shop for any maintenance or repair. I have had my vehicle in the shop several times for unrelated issues since 2009 but this repair was never mentioned, offered or performed. I feel that I am driving an unsafe vehicle and Hyundai is avoiding a major safety issue.

We own a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. There was a recall on a faulty brake lamp switch. We had that replaced by the dealer. Our vehicle is now encountering problems with it applying brakes for no reason while operating it on the roadways.we have yet to have had an accident, even though the vehicle brakes and slows on its own without notice and for no reason. We have been told that the yaw sensor is bad. We are lucky that no accident has occurred as of yet because of this problem. I saw that there was a recall on the 2005 Hyundai tuscons for this or a similar problems with the yaw sensor. Is there or will there be a recall on the Santa Fe's now or in the near future for this braking system which is unsafe? the dealer wants to sell us the defective and dangerous part for $493 plus tax and between $200 and $300 labor to install. You need to look into this dangerous and defective part. Thanks, greg johnston.
