What owners wrote
I was driving approximately 20MPH when I heard a breaking noise from underneath my 2010 hyundai accent when I lost steering power, the brakes didn't work and the accelerator as well. This caused me to lose control of my car resulting in me crashing into another parked vehicle. Thank god it wasn't on a hwy going 65-70 MPH. I see there aren't any recalls on any of the mentioned problems.
The brake lamp switch became defective intermittently, approximately 10,000 miles ago. It has now failed completely. Apparently I am not the only one experiencing this problem: [link removed] this is a serious problem, so I wanted you to know.
