Dude you are a life save i literally went to the back of my car after checking the pushing for the brake switch just like you did and it was on while sitting in park and I can see all the brake lights on. Thank you so much a three dollar fix I thought I was going to have to spend thousands.
Now that’s what I call amazing. Exact same issue on my 2012 Sonata. Ordered the part and was back up and running in 2 days. Took less than 5 minutes to fix. Thanks again for posting this video!!
Thank you so much!!! I was thinking I was having transmission issues due to the acceleration issues. I thought I was going to be in the hole thousands of dollars. You are a gentleman and a scholar!
Genius. I had the tail light problem first, so bad it killed the battery. Then the hesitation problem showed up and I really thought I was up the creek. That the problem could be the same thing, and fixed for *nothing*...? Holy cow my whole life just changed! Seriously man, you saved me a bucket 'o gold and a lot of heartache. I want to thank you very much for this.
Life saver!!! I thought my 2012 sonata was having 2 issues one with my car not accelerating and the other with my brake lights keep turning on! Nope! Cheap easy fix thanks to you!
Thank you so much for this video. This is exactly what was happening to our car. You just saved us 100's of dollars. We fixed it ourselves !!!! You are a life saver !!!
This video was a life saver. I started getting the hesitation a few weeks ago. Only in the last two days it got worse. I was thinking throttle position sensor which would be more expensive of course. So I called the dealer and they had the stopper in stock. It was $ .92 plus tax, so it was a total of $ .98. Not even a whole dollar. The hardest part was getting under the dash, but installation of the new one and a ten mile drive showed the problem was fixed. I love it when stuff works, especially cheap stuff!
Just had the same problem it took me Litte while to figure it out but I wish I saw this before it would make my life a lot easier great info thanks this video will save lots of time and life awsome
I appreciate your video so much! I just bought an 11 with the 2.0 turbo today .. I was afraid the turbo was bad but it was just this! You are awesome sir!
@markbrown4993 engine messed up a couple weeks later and hyundai replaced it for free under the national recall they have for rod bearing failure.. so now I got brand new engine
Thank you! Just what I needed. The reason the brake light switch is wired into the PCM is as a safety for the throttle by wire, if the car see's both a brake signal and an acceleration demand it automatically defaults to cutting the throttle. This is after the whole Toyota gas pedal thing with cars running away.
My car is doing this now; it completely died on me and now won’t start. A little bit of smoke came from underneath my hood. But it smelled of burnt plastic.
2012 Hyundai sonata- My car had loss of power problems while driving and constant brake light activation to the point it drained my battery. I replaced the brake light switch, only to find out that my rubber brake light stop had a hole in it that the plunger was going right through. I haven’t had loss of power or brake light activation issues sense replacing. I used a circle piece you put on wooden furniture legs to protect the wood floors from scratching until the actual part comes in. It’s amazing that the brake light switch can cause all these problems, thanks for your help!
Mine did exactly the same thing. I looked at the switch and saw that part was broken on mine. Cheapest I ever got off at a dealership. Like you said, around $3.00. I put it on in their parking lot and went on my way. I never had a car act that stupid before, but at least it was easy to find. My brake lights being on when my ignition was turned off gave mine away, too.
You are one smart cookie. Having some weird issues like this. Going to try the brake pedal trick see if it restores acceleration. My mechanic saying it's my PCM but this brake stopper is wired into the computer.
Knock senser fault on my 2012 turbo. Hyundai replaced the motor for free because of a recall issue. Less then 6k on the new motor and it was stumbling. I was thinking the worst. found this video and sure as s**t little wadded up paper and tape and i'm all good till the new stoper shows up. Thank you.
Same thing happened to my wife’s hyundai veracruz. Truck lost power on highway and esc light came on and stayed on as well as brake lights. Rubber pedal switch buffer was broken out. Figured it out in 5 minutes and $5 later
On my wife's 2015 Santa Fe, that bumper fell off, same problem. I'm sure it's tied into the computer as a safety measure. I remember hearing about some Toyota's that accelerated out of control, even when the brake was pushed. The link into the computer is probably an override to prevent that.
This litterally just saved me moneyyy I thought it was my brakes then I thought it was a clog so I bought cat cleaner the. I thought it was alternator. But it’s just the lil brake switch 😂😂😂
Thank you for this information, I have acceleration problem with my 2015 Hyundai sonata SE but my break light is working fine but it doesn’t rave or accelerate… Can this fix the acceleration problem ? Thank you
i have a 2009 Hyundai sonata and it makes a constant muffle noise around 1500 rpm 30-45 mph just hand transmission rebuilt and can't figure out what the issue is repair shop said everything looked good any idea's what the issue might be. they said exhaust and engine mounts are all good front tires tread is A little low new tires or rear.
Wow. I wonder if it the same for my 22 santa fe hybrid. I was with uber with passengers on freeway. We rolled off to lot. They got other ride. Started car again and its working…. For now. Darn.
i had brake lights on for 3 nights and it would stop me when i went to leave a green light and had ABS on. couldnt replicate what it was doing at the shop. drove home with my headlights on and it happened. changed brake switch. still happening. i had a brake light that was about to go out causing all of my lights to be on constantly and then messing with my entire system itself
Interesting solution, I've never seen that. I guess the ABS and braking will act through the computer to affect the other side of the equation, throttle action. How are teenagers supposed to do brake stands?
Wow!!! My 12 is doing the exact same thing. Thinking I need to replace the accelerator pedal assembly or go through some electrical diag. Life Saver! If lift up on the brake pedal with your left foot, full power returns. No codes or check engine light or anything. It just falls completely on it's face while cruising. Thank you!!!
This was my issues. Cost me $3.00 to fix. Thank you! I feel like the dealership would have turned this into several hundred dollar problem, if not several thousand.
I don't blame hardworking folks who dare NOT touch any Kia or Hyundai vehicle. With the massive bill they shouldered from the engine failure/engine fire fiasco plus other major safety recalls, guess who will foot the bill eventually?

Thank you so much sir. My mechanic just repaired this exact thing happening on my 2012 Sonata because he watched this video I sent him. God bless you!

Just had the same problem it took me Litte while to figure it out but I wish I saw this before it would make my life a lot easier great info thanks this video will save lots of time and life awsome
You’re a life saver! My 2012 Hyundai sonata has exactly the same issue. Thank you for saving us from paying more with the mechanic.
Thank you, thank you, thank you - I’ve been chasing this for a year.
I appreciate your video so much! I just bought an 11 with the 2.0 turbo today .. I was afraid the turbo was bad but it was just this! You are awesome sir!
They probably sold it to you thinking it had a major issue 😂

Appreciate it my son's 2013 Kia Optima was having same issue....Hopefully this is the fix....waiting on part to come in.

How did it go? I heard it could be something with the transmission!?
Great find!!!! Same issue here.
Excellent video
I just super-glued a penny to the rubber bumper stop. Works great!
I did the same. LOL !!!
Saved $2.99. Thank you 😂😂
Is there a video that shows me how to fix it? Or what i need to do?
The same thing happened to my car could somebody tell me what I need to do
@@jachanminadoes it still work and was that the problem?? I’m seeing that the problem could be the transmission which is not good!

Did any of you get smoke from the exhaust if tried accelerating too much to gain speed?
Interesting solution, I've never seen that. I guess the ABS and braking will act through the computer to affect the other side of the equation, throttle action. How are teenagers supposed to do brake stands?
That was a first for me , The computer did not like seeing something .
I had to look up what brake stands was , I have never heard that before , always called them burnouts . Lol
Actuator is prob about to go if your hyundai 11-14 turbo 2.0t enters limbo mode, and turning car on and off again temp fixes it. yw.
Was there a part number or name because I need this asap
Genius
What is the name of the part?
dude im over here thinking its the trans solenoid the fuel pump, seeing you drive it that is exactly what it is!
Wow!!! My 12 is doing the exact same thing. Thinking I need to replace the accelerator pedal assembly or go through some electrical diag.
Life Saver! If lift up on the brake pedal with your left foot, full power returns. No codes or check engine light or anything. It just falls completely on it's face while cruising.
Thank you!!!
Could you explain to me what I need to do mines is doing the same thing
Was the check engine blinking when it was decelerating ????
no light on , no blinking , no engine codes .
Thanks!
This was my issues. Cost me $3.00 to fix. Thank you! I feel like the dealership would have turned this into several hundred dollar problem, if not several thousand.
@@allengambrell6879 Thank you so much .
@heartlandmechanic where did you get the part? I assume the brake stopper fixed the problem but you didn't show fixing it.
Hyundai dealer ,@@symunut9316
same issue , i 3d printed the part :P
Where did you order this part from!
Did u bought it, if so? Where ?
What’s the part called
“Brake light switch” and the rubber stopping piece is a “brake light stopper”
My car started doing that after an oil from Walmart
Oh men aim here by the same trouble
it cost me $200, and didn't fix it. I found this video and fix it for 3.5$ for a new switch.
I don't blame hardworking folks who dare NOT touch any Kia or Hyundai vehicle. With the massive bill they shouldered from the engine failure/engine fire fiasco plus other major safety recalls, guess who will foot the bill eventually?
Brake pedal stopper
Thanks!
Exact symptoms! Saved me a ton!
Thank you very much
