I HAVE HAD BOTH MY BACK LIGHT HARNESSES WHERE A BULB HAS BLOWN AND IT WAS SO HOT IT MELTED THE BULB ENDS INTO THE SOCKET AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE HARNESS FOR ONE SIDE AND MIGHT HAVE TO REPLACE IT FOR THE OTHER SIDE AS WELL. THE VEHICLE INSIDE DASH LIGHTS WOULD ALSO START FLICKERING OFF AND ON AS WELL AS THE OUTSIDE LIGHTS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS IS CONCERNING TO ME AND I KNOW THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT YET THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANY RECALLS. WHY PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

PURCHASED A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA IN SEPTEMBER 2019 FROM HYUNDAI SUPERIOR NORTH IN FAIRFIELD OHIO. THERE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING OUTAGE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT OVERHEATING AND BLOWING OUT. I REPLACED IT THREE TIMES( NOVEMBER 2019, TWICE IN JUNE 2020) SINCE MY PURCHASE. THE MOST RECENT REPLACEMENT IT BLEW OUT THE SAME DAY. I SEEN THERE ARE REVIEWS AND VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET STATING THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH 2013 SONATAS. THIS IS A ROAD HAZARD AND ILLEGAL OPERATION OF A VEHICLE IF PULLED OVER BY LAW ENFORCEMENT WHEN WILL A RECALL BE ISSUED AND RESOLVED? TO ADD TO THE BULB /ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. A MONTH AGO A RECALL LETTER WAS MAILED FOR OVEHEATING MOTOR WITH NO REMEDY IN PLACE TO FIX IT. I FEEL LIKE I PURCHASED A LEMON WITH ALL THE ISSUES STARTING TO PILE UP. MY CAR ONLY HAS 68,000 MILES ON IT. AS A FIRST TIME BUYER THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND BENEATH MY EXPECTATIONS FOR HYUNDAI. I NEED THESE RECALLS RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, I AM PULLED OVER FOR HAVING A LEFT TAIL-LIGHT THAT IS OUT. I HAVE UTILIZED MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP RECENTLY TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION AS I FREQUENTLY CHANGE THE LIGHT BULB OUT, AND END UP WITH YET THE SAME LIGHT OUT WITHIN DAYS/WEEKS. AFTER I HAVE PAID THE DEALERSHIP ROUGHLY $75 TO GET A 'BRAKE SWITCH' REPLACED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM, MY LIGHT IS OUT ONCE AGAIN. *TR

MY RIGHT BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS GOING OUT. I'M ALWAYS CHANGING IT AND A FEW WEEKS LATER IT WILL GO OUT AGAIN. I'VE BROUGHT IT TO THE SHOP (ALLEN HYUNDAI, GULFPORT, MS) AND I GOT MY 'BRAKE LAMP STOPPER' REPLACED AND HE SAID MY LIGHTS SHOULD WORK FINE. I ORIGINALLY BROUGHT IT IN BECAUSE MY 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON WHILE I'M DRIVING AND IT WOULD CAUSE ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING. IT GOES NOW, BUT SEEMS LIKE IT HAS TROUBLE CATCHING SPEED. I'VE SPOKE TO OTHER SONATA OWNERS AND THEY TOO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT GOING OUT. IT'S A HAZARD AND IT ALSO CAN GIVE US TICKETS FROM THE POLICE. PLEASE HAVE THIS LOOKED IN TO. *TR

MY HEAD LAMP BULB HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIME IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS AND THE BRAKE LIGHT BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES AS OF TODAY. THERE HAS GO TO BE SOMETHING THAT IS CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN. NO BULBS SHOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED THIS OFTEN. *TR
