VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE. BRAKE LIGHTS DIDN'T ILLUMINATE. VEHICLE TOWED TO LOCAL GARAGE, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE. 30 MINUTES AND $80.00 LATER THE PROBLEM WAS REMEDIED. HYUNDAI HAS HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS OF THEIR BRAKE LIGHT SWITCHES, BUT EACH TIME THE APPLY THE RECALL TO A VERY NARROW SELECTION OF MODELS, OF WHICH THIS AFOREMENTIONED VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED. STRANDING A 19 Y/O GIRL IN A DARK PARKING LOT AT 9:30 AT NIGHT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A LESS FAVORABLE OUTCOME. HOW MANY OTHER UNFORTUNATES SUFFER BECAUSE OF A FAILURE ON THE PART OF HYUNDAI TO STEP UP AND FIX AN INEXPENSIVE PART.

I WAS TRAVELING (AND LIKELY SLIGHTLY BRAKING) ON A HIGHWAY OFF-RAMP WHEN I SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. IT FELT LIKE THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SEIZED UP, AND THEN THE STEERING COLUMN AND DASH STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND THE CAR FISH-TAILED AROUND. I CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE BARRICADE AND ENDING UP FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC -- WHICH COULD HAVE KILLED ME AND THE DRIVER OF THE ONCOMING VEHICLE, WHO ALSO ENDED UP CRASHING. WEATHER / VISIBILITY AND ROAD CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND DRY, AND THERE WERE NO APPARENT O STRUCTIONS IN THE ROADWAY. AFTER THE CRASH, THE WHEELS MOVED NORMALLY AGAIN AND LOOKED UNAFFECTED.
