IN SEPTEMBER 2009 (EXACT DAY UNKNOWN), THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ON MY 2005 HYUNDAI ACCENT BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY FAILING. AS A RESULT, I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK APPROXIMATELY ONCE OUT OF EVERY THREE TIMES I STARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS ABLE TO REMEDY THE ISSUE BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH AN EXAGGERATED DEGREE OF FORCE WITHIN 1-5 ATTEMPTS. ON NOVEMBER 25, THE SWITCH ULTIMATELY FAILED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK WITHOUT EMPLOYING THE SHIFT LOCK OVERRIDE. SINCE NOVEMBER 25, I EMPLOY THE SHIFT LOCK OVERRIDE BUT HAVE NOT YET REPLACED THE SWITCH. *TR
