The dealership said the light is melted in the socket. They want to rewire the back tail lights. $800. They did a quick fix so I could drive it but said it was temporary. Well the light went out - 5 months later - I'm taking it in for tomorrow for NO AIR CONDITIONING - blows HOT AIR - 110 degrees outside! We will see what they do!!
Rear brake lights frequently go out and or melt in the casing. I have replaced the brake light assembly kit on the left and right side 2x. Hyundai will not honor this issue when I was in warranty and of course they will not while I am now out of warranty.
I contacted Hyundai and have a case number hoping for some resolution.
This is an ongoing problem, the plastic that the tail light bulb is attached to is melting and i have had to replace the tail light casing already recently. Since the replacement, i replaces a bulb and the plastic is starting to look burned again. two weeks since i replaced that bulb, the light is out again.This is ridiculous that the problem is not a recall since it is obviously and issue. if i have to spend money on the tail light casing again i am getting rid of the car and buying a toyota!
I have changed my tail and brake lights literally 5 times in the past 5 months. They keep going out, I am sure they should not go out this often. I believe there is an electrical short somewhere.
