Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Side marker light in the passenger side (PS) headlight assembly IS NOT working. Headlight (high beam and low beam) and combination turn signal/parking light ARE working. First noticed Feb 2024. Malfunctioning marker light will cause vehicle to fail annual state safety inspection. Problem is not intermittent. Car hasn't been inspected by dealer or other shop, dealer wants $169 to inspect/troubleshoot. Owner evaluation, PS headlight assy, marker light bulb and socket are undamaged, there is no corrosion, car has not been in a crash, functioning bulb/socket from DS installed in PS did not function. Hyundai has issued (at least) 2 technical service bulletins for excessive moisture in headlight assys. Electrical circuit for malfunctioning light is internal to the light fixture. Since 2 of the 3 lights in the headlight assy ARE working, suggests the headlight assembly is at fault. I have yet to check if there is 12V at the wire harness plug on the pin that supplies electricity to the marker light.
AT APPROXIMATELY 22,000 MILES MY 2017 ACCENT'S BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NO LONGER WORK. MY TAIL LIGHTS ARE ON BUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATE BRIGHTER WHILE BRAKING WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE THE FUSE WITH AN IDENTICAL ONE, BOUGHT NEW LIGHT BULBS, AND WILL NOW BE TAKING IT INTO A DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE IT IS THE BRAKE SWITCH THAT IS FAULTY BUT I AM UNSURE. UT THEY ARE BOOKED FOR WEEKS AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY/LEGAL ISSUE. RECALL NUMBER 131
