2010 Hyundai Accent Exterior lighting Problems

“Preparing to make a right turn I notice when I press on my brakes my signal would stop blinking. Brakes and signal do not work together anymore. So now I can not signal my intention and brake at the same time. I read that there was a recall on brake lamp switch but not for 2010. So the issue still a problem for 2010 Accent....”

“My Hyundai Accent model year 2010 had an issue where the brake lights went out completely. Model years 2007-2009 are under an active recall for the brake light switch and my car had the same problem. I called Hyundai and they advised the switch is different but the data I can find shows the same fault exists in the 2010 as well. This is a safety issue Hyundai is refusing to fix...the NHTSA needs to investigate and expand the recall to other model years.”

“While driving at normal operating speed, I was alerted by another motorist that my brake lights weren't working. I replaced the brake light switch and that fixed the problem. While researching the issue, I noticed a recall of Hyundai accents for the years prior to 2010, but the recall did not include 2010s. I verified with the dealer that I had no open recalls, so I replaced the part at my own expense. It seems the brake light switches are still not reliable in these cars.”

“On march after leaving my daughter's house my son noticed that my daughter's 2010 Hyundai accents brakes lights and 3rd light weren't working . The next day my son and I decided to check the fuse box. We changed the 15 amp fuse even though the original one didn't seem broken. After that we again tried the brake light and 3rd and again it didn't work. I'm at my wits end with this 2010 Hyundai Accent because all I seem to have is problems. Before 3 coil wires had to be replaced. …”

“As I was stopped in a line of cars to drop my daughter off at school a woman tapped on my window and told me that I have no brake lights and that she almost rear-ended me because of it. I went home and checked the fuses and the bulbs; all were fine. After some online research I learned that there could be a problem with the brake light switch which is located near the brake pedal. When I contacted Hyundai customer service I was told that my make/model/year was not covered by a recall affecting the brake light switch.”
