Hyundai Veracruz brake lights stay on while driving and shifting issues from park to drive on Hyundai Veracruz

Problem overview

Some Hyundai Veracruz owners report experiencing issues with brake lights staying on while driving, which may be caused by a faulty brake light switch that keeps the lights illuminated even when not braking. Additionally, wiring problems in the harness connecting the brake switch to the bulbs can lead to similar issues. Those facing difficulties shifting from park to drive often find that a malfunctioning shifter interlock, which is designed to prevent accidental gear engagement when the brake pedal isn't pressed, may be responsible. Furthermore, some owners discover that an engaged emergency brake can trigger the brake warning light to remain on. A failed brake fluid level sensor and a malfunctioning parking brake switch are also potential culprits for the brake warning light staying illuminated. It is advisable for owners experiencing these problems to consult a certified mechanic for accurate diagnosis and timely repairs to ensure safety and proper vehicle function.
