EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE CAR IS OUR EXTRA CAR SO IT DOESN'T GET DRIVEN THAT MUCH. THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS PULLED OVER AND NOTIFIED THE BREAK LIGHTS AREN'T COMING ON. MY MECHANIC DETERMINED IT THE STOP LIGHT SWITCH THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL BUT MY CAR ITS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. OBVIOUSLY FROM ALL THE COMPLAINTS I SEE ONLINE THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY ON COLLEGE CAMPUS LOOKING FOR PARKING SPACE AS I HAVE DONE EVERY TIME I GO TO THE OFFICE FOR 45 YEARS WHEN SUDDENLY THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA ACCELERATED AT VERY HIGH RATE AND ROLLED OVER UPSIDE DOWN. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND I WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL. WINDSHIELD AND FRONT OF ROOF COLLAPSED FROM ROLLOVER! I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT PRESS DOWN THE GAS PEDAL BY MISTAKE. I AM SURE. THIS COULD VERY LIKELY KILLED ANYONE WALKING OR DRIVING IN FRONT OF THIS CRAZY CAR.

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY STOP LAMP SWITCH FAILED. THE NHTSA SITE SHOWS THAT THERE IS A RECALL HAVING TO DO WITH MY YEAR AND MODEL FOR THE STOP LAMP SWITCH AND OR ASSEMBLY. MINE FAILED, BUT THE DEALER STATES THAT MY SPECIFIC VIN IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. WELL THE PROBLEM IS WIDER THAN REPORTED OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE THE PROOF IS MY SWITCH FAILED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM THE CAR HAD BEEN ON THE DRIVEWAY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN. THE FAILURE MANIFESTED ITSELF RANDOMLY WHILE THE CAR WAS NOT IN USE AND HAD NOT BEEN IN USE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN ON GOING, BUT I MIGHT NOT HAVE NOTICE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR BECAME DISCONNECTED AND ITS WEIGHT PULLED ITS WIRE OUT 2 INCHES SO THAT IT WOULD NOT GO BACK IN AND WOULD NOT STAY UP ANYMORE. NOW IT IS COMPLETELY OFF AND TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. WE MAY HAVE TO HAVE IT FIXED WITHOUT HAVING THE ELECTRICAL HOOKED UP TO RUN THE MIRROR LIGHT, WHICH IS REALLY ANNOYING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FOR A FEW MONTHS I HAD A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR WHEN MY CAR WAS IDLING ON A CITY STREET FACING DOWNHILL (AT A STOP SIGN). THEN IT GOT SUDDENLY WORSE FOR 2 DAYS, SO THAT IT RATTLED ALL THE TIME WHEN IDLING IN DRIVE OR PARK (STOPPED AT LIGHTS OR SIGNS OR IN A PARKING SPACE). THEN IT COMPLETELY STOPPED RATTLING - AND THE NEXT DAY ANOTHER DRIVER ON THE HIGHWAY, ON THE 4TH OF JULY, NOTIFIED ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A COINCIDENCE OR NOT.
