What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds or while the vehicle was parked, the brake lights failed to illuminate when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that a bulb had blown and there was an overheating issue, which caused a mechanism in the light bulb to melt. The light fixture needed replacement. The vehicle was repaired, but the issue persisted on several occasions. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue.
The rear brake lights original sockets and wiring, burn so hot that it melts the sockets. This cause a safety hazard, as the lightbulbs are repeatedly being burned out and melted into the sockets. In motiin
