Consequently, my battery fully discharged. The traction control warning lamp was illuminated, too. These symptoms are precisely the ones identified in the 12/13/2017 Brake Pedal Stopper Replacement Recall Campaign 170 for model year 2013-14 Hyundai Elantras . According to the January 2018 Hyundai TSB 18-01-005 a deteriorated brake pedal stopper pad can result in the stop lamps illuminating continuously, illumination of the traction control warning lamp, the ability to move the shift lever without depressing the brake pedal, or activation of the engine management system’s brake pedal override feature. The TSB says that any of the described symptoms can increase the risk of a crash. It appears Elantras manufactured after model year 2014 were produced with defective brake pedal stoppers. For example, see NHTSA ID Number: 11292278 (12/31/2019 complaint – Davie, FL) and NHTSA ID Number: 11182014 (2/22/2019 complaint – Orlando, FL).  AAA jump-started my car and I took it to Braman Hyundai in Miami today.  Sure enough, they found that the brake pedal stopper pad deteriorated and that led to a complete battery discharge.  They replaced the brake pedal stopper pad and battery.  Both the dealer and Hyundai Consumer Affairs say too bad - 2016 models were not part of the recall (for the same brake pedal stopper pad).   The danger from Hyundai's defective brake pedal stopper continued through2016 models delivered in 2015.  2015-16 Elantras should be recalled to replace the brake pedal stopper - and frankly Hyundai should pay for owners' out-of-pocket expenses incurred due to the defective brake pedal stoppers (in my case over $600 for the brake pedal stopper pad and battery - including labor).  WHY IS RECALL 170 NOT EXTENDED TO 2015-16 HYUNDAI ELANTRAS?","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"ELANTRA","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]}]}
