QUOTE (californiadude99 @ Jun 17 2009, 05:52 AM)  Hey everybody!
This has been an intermittent problem. When I start the car those two lights will stay on, but when I turn off the car, turn it back on again, then start driving then the lights will stay off. Of course, this starts to happen right when I got out of the 60,000 warranty.
Has anyone had this happen to them? I go to the dealer tomorrow for the 60K service.
Thanks!!!!! If it is a defective Stop Switch Dude, it might be covered for free under the TSB campaign. I just had a defective Seatbelt clip that made the Air Bag system inoperative. Still have less than 20,000 miles on the LX. I wanted to take a drive to Three Rivers & Sequoia National park. I saw Dateline NBC this Week about all the Pot being grown in the National Parks. The Migrant Pot farmers are shooting people who wander into their Camp, and much of the land is Booby trapped. We love California! How much was the 60K service? I was just told my 30K service will be $211 (IMG: style_emoticons/default/trophy.gif)

You might remember there was a big scandal recently about some almonds(?) that came from Three Rivers; that's the same place. I haven't gotten to look at the manual just yet but I'm guessing the 60K is way more comprehensive than the 30K... the dealers in my immediate area (Merced Hyundai, Central Valley Hyundai - Modesto, and Tracy Hyundai) quoted $549. Merced Hyundai had a $50 off coupon and I'm taking advantage of it!!! I'll take this to the dealer and see what he says, in the meantime, anyone else please feel free to chime in! Thanks everybody!

Hey again everybody!! wymi and Dennis The Mennis were spot on with the problem! I wrote that in the early bird drop off envelope and that's exactly what it was. From the invoice, here's what the 60K service did Changed engine oil and filter Replaced cabin air filter Replaced engine air filter Replaced wiper blades Performed transmission service Performed cooling system service Balanced and rotated tires Multipoint inspection Replaced Spark Plugs Replaced Surge Tank Gaskets Retorqued suspension system components The quote was $399 (including a coupon)... HOWEVER they quoted me the 4-cyl price (I have a V6). The V6 was supposed to be $100 more. It WAS his mistake. After a bit of haggling, I was willing to let him eat half the difference and ended up paying $449 vs. $499. WARNING!!! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/offtopic.gif) WARNING!!! Something very tragic happened while I was waiting for a co-worker to pick me up. There was a train-vs-pedestrian accident that happened on the railroad tracks very close to the dealership!!!! Speculation is rampant that this was a suicide. The victim was from Atwater, about 10 mins north of Merced along Highway 99. I heard the train honking longer and longer but didn't think anything of it because I live near railroad tracks myself. Anyway you can check out the article here: http://www.mercedsunstar.com/105/story/907253.html

Thanks!!!!! It's the swith behind the brake petal!! Happened on my 06 i went the the dealership and bought the switch for about 20 bucks or less and fixed it myself!! I had 61,000 miles on it when it happened to my car. It's really not that hard to fix. I was quoted like 85 bucks by my dealer to have it fixed. You will probably find that your brake lights are either staying on or not working all the time. You really need to have this fixed asap and Hyundai needs to issue a recall on this problem, i have read several posts concerning this matter. Good Luck!!!

I thought they did quite a while back, if you can call a TSB a recall? Oh this is just an adjustment. http://sonata.jerrystout.us/tsb/stop%20lam...0adjustment.pdf
