2013 Hyundai Sonata Lights Problems

I bought this car before less than 3 months when. When I was drive the car on [XXX] the car just stop stopped no power without any warning when the car stop I just came from home. It’s far it’s like the distance between my home and the place the car stop in the highway. It’s like 5 miles. when I park the car to the side road right side road I open the hood. I see some smoke coming from the engine and smell like fire or burn or some plastic fire. I’m a mechanic he said before I bring the mechanic I seen that the screen light it’s like a car with the key in the middle of the car. The picture is the light the car stop starting. I thought I call somebody he told me maybe the car is the program or disconnect. We need to program it or they bring the battery I bring a battery. I tried to start the car again. It’s not working the mechanic. He told me that starter. I bought the starter and I start in the car. You still not working they told me after that. They told me the battery maybe I checked the battery I took the AutoZone. I took the battery. It was 95%. I called the company and the company. If they check the car, they say the car they have to recall just I get appointment with them the first time on October 1, 2025, but when I take the car there the end VIN number different with an appointment not my car. I get another appointment October 8. I told the car over there. Dixie Highway highway Louisville Kentucky. When I arrive to the car dealership in Dixie Highway, Louisville, KY they told me your car is rebuilt title. I told them what they mean. He said we can’t do nothing with it because it’s built. I told them why they didn’t tell me before I wouldn’t give the car here. They told me to bring the car appointment before you get appointment. You have to check the car as if you can see it’s built you are a company Even that time I don’t know what’s rebuilt car mean , idk if Hyundai worry just about people they have clean title?

The tail lights won’t stay on even with new bulbs in it. This was a recall and the recall disappeared. This is not safe for my car to be missing a tail light every night. Please help

Brake lights become hot enough to melt through housing, hanging loose in the trunk where they can damage wiring and further burn through taillight housing. There was no warning, uncertain how long issue has been ongoing as I only noticed when a light went entirely out. Vehicle has not been inspected since engine replacement under previous recall. Will be available for any inspection on request. This problem has occurred on both the left and right taillight assemblies

There is no lights at all on the brake lights but the brake light in the back window stays on all the time the dim head light only lets one side work

I bought this car brand new and I’m the only driver. I have my oil changed every 3,000 to 4,000 miles. Boiling Springs Tire is the place I get it changed but I have had it changed a few times at Hyundai in Spartanburg. About a year or so ago my oil light came on and I was shocked because it hadn’t been long since I had oil changed. I checked it and it was almost out. I put oil in it and thought maybe boiling springs tire did not put enough in it. Next time i took to Hyundai but kept eye on it. To make a long story short I am having to keep an eye on my oil and adding more about every 200 miles. I know it’s 10 years old but I’ve had cars older than this and did not have to add oil. Other cars older than mine are being recalled and I’m not understanding why 2013 are left out. Please advise as I’m sure I’m not the only 2013 owner having issues with our Hyundai Sonata . I park the car in my carport and there is never any oil on the floor so I’m not sure where the oil is going. I did ask them at the Hyundai place about that and I was informed there were no recalls on mine and it would cost me around $1000 just for them to pull the engine down to check. So I’m just having to keep checking on the oil.

ALL OF THESE CAR HAVE A HEADLIGHT ISSUSE ALSO BREAKLIGHT

Lights flicker especially at night they turn off and on. You can't see and others can't see you because no lights on and off There was no warning lamps or anything letting me know about the problem.

The brake lights and headlights keep going out within a few month of changing the bulbs

Brake lights work inconsistently, burn hot, melt sockers, fall out of sockets and melt carpeted covers. Safety and fire concerns. Much info on this problem from other owners on various sites. PLEASE force Hyundai to fix these issues.

My back left brake light is out. It's been out for a few months now. I took it to Hyundai and they said I needed a new lamp. Recently I started taking pictures of other sonata's when I'm out and a lot of other vehicles I've seen have the same problem.

My rear tail lights on both sides keep burning holes through the plastic then burning out this takes place all with in a week I’ve had to replace the light harness 3 times on both sides already and I’ve wen down on the voltage on the lights. Neither worked. This is a safety concern as I e read on multiple post that there trunks have caught fire because of this. In which I’ve smelled smoke on multiple occasions and then noticed the harness to be burnet out and the light to be blown. I have children that ride in the back seat that require help. This problem needs to be fixed before someone’s life is taken.

My husband keeps replacing the left passenger side brake light and when he called the dealer he was told that they know of the issue but there isn’t a recall on it. Today 10/20/21 he went to replace the bulb again because it was out he noticed that as he was pulling the bulb the light came on. When he moved the harness around the light bulb would turn on and turn off. He went to autozone and one of the associates told him the same thing the deal told me, that they knew of the issue but there wasn’t a recall on it. He said that’s what they told him when he encounter the same issue I was having with my vehicle. His girl friend has the same vehicle as I do. It is available for inspection, unknown, yes it has been confirmed by the dealer, it has been inspected by my husband job AAA, and no warning lights appeared.

Most of my exterior bulbs burn out out constantly. Headlights at least once a year, most of the time twice a year. Brake lights/ rear license plate bulbs burn out multiple times a year. Fog lights and high beams affected too. Apart from the annoyance of constantly being pulled over and given verbal warnings, or people yelling at me, trying to help me out by letting me know that yet another bulb is out, it's a safety concern. If I'm breaking and the person behind me isn't paying attention, they could slam into me. Where I live durning certain times of the year the fog gets so thick that without fog lights, it's scary to drive. The spot where that 60 car pile up that happen in Virgina a few years ago, is part of my commute. There was a time when a fog light and a head light went out with in minutes of each other, while I was driving in snow. Now, if the bulbs I have used were cheap ones, then I would be more lenient on then burning out faster. But I'm using top tier Sylvania and Phillips bulbs. These bulbs are expensive and having to change them is costly. I've gone to dealerships and the response is always the same. "Bulbs just burn out, we'll sell you some for $30 each" That's what a Hyundai dealership near me told me when they failed my Sonata's State Inspection. I needed two break lights. I know it isn't just my car either. I've been watching Sonata's for probably about a year now, and would you know it, their brake lights are usually out (right side most often) Or their head light is out. A quick Google search is proof enough that I'm not alone.

Recommended lights for brakes keep burning, causing the brake light sockets to melt. I have replaced them twice and replaced the complete tail lights and wiring. Purchasing stock tail lights, bulbs as well as after market. The bulbs continue to blow or get so hot that they are melting the plastic. My car was smoking today from the rear and upon poping my trunk it was filled with smoke from the tail lights burning. This needs to be recalled and fixed.

The lights bulbs have burned out multiple times. The hole where the bulb fits is misshapen and is very hard to install new light bulbs (practically impossible). Reported to dealership. They said it is a known issue and that Hyundai will not fix it now. Told me to buy new lights. I did that and the bulbs are still burning out. The socket the bulb goes into is melted, the spot the light bulb goes into the light is melted. This is not safe. I have put over 10 light bulbs in the trail lights in a little over 3 years.

Tail lights are CONSTANTLY going out. This is the second time over a 20 day period that I replaced them. It’s not normal. I’m afraid to drive at night due to this matter, as I do not want another vehicle colliding with my rear end. The bulbs are brand new but yet it’s still goes out. This matter should be looked into immediately as it is a safety hazard for nighttime drivers.

The brake light is constantly going out since I purchased this car in 2013 see other ocmplaints https://www.carproblemzoo.com/hyundai/sonata/brake-light-problems.php

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the hazard lights would independently activate without warning. The failure would return soon after the depression of the hazard light button. The failure would continue while stationery with the engine off; the contact would have to disconnect the battery to stop the failure. The contact's wife had taken the vehicle to the dealer where they disconnected that button, cleaned out the area, and checked for loose wiring. Despite the services performed on the vehicle, the failure persisted soon after repair. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000. Vehicle has been repaired.

DRIVER SIDE BREAK LIGHT BULB NO LONGER WORK PROPERLY. EVEN THOUGH ITS BEEN CHANGED IT WORKS SPORADICALLY BECAUSE THE BULB IS LOOSE IN THE SOCKET OF THE WIRE HARNESS OR THE SOCKET WILL MELT. THIS CAUSES MORE THAN ONE SAFETY ISSUE. CAR HAS NO BRAKE LIGHT ON ONE SIDE AND COULD AT ANYTIME CATCH ON FIRE. DEALERSHIP HAS SAID THIS IS A PROBLEM AMONG THESE VEHICLES BUT HYUNDAI HASN'T ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED VERY SOON. TRIED OF REPLACE HARNESSES AND BULBS.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

SOMETIMES MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN I AM NOT PRESSING ON THE BRAKES. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING. IT SEEMS THAT SOMETHING IS MALFUNCTIONING BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME.

BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHT CONTINUES TO BURN OUT. I HAVE REPLACED BULBS AND ENTIRE ASSEMBLY EVERY COUPLE WEEKS AND IT MELTS THE UNITS AS WELL AS MY ENGINE STALLS OUT AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND DOES THIS INTERMITTENTLY.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

I HAVE TO CHANGE TAIL LIGHTS EVERY MONTH. NOW A NEW ASSEMBLY IS REQUIRED BECAUSE THE BLOWN BULB HAS MELTED IT. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND I'M TRYING TO AVOID TICKETS AND COURT IF POSSIBLE. ALSO THERE'S A SHORTAGE IN THE WIRING.

I HAVE TO CHANGE MY PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT BULB EVERY MONTH THIS IS NOT NORMAL, NOW SINCE IT GOT OVERHEATED IT HAD MELTED TO THE SOCKET,I FOUND IT VERY HAZARDOUS

REAR TAIL LIGHT BRAKE LIGHTS GETS TOO HOT AND MELTS INSIDE THE SOCKET. IT'S A BIG FIRE HAZARD. THE HEAT MELTED THE INNER PART WHICH MADE ME REPLACE THE WHOLE TAIL LIGHT. BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT.

WHILE REPLACING THE BULBS IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE LIGHT BULBS HAD OVERHEATED AND MELTED INTO THE BULB SOCKET. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED.

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN DRIVING AND ENTIRE DASHBOARD LIGHTS GO OUT. THIS VEHICLE USES THE SAME PARTS AS THE 2014 KIA SOUL AND THIS ISSUE WAS RESOLVED FOR THE KIA SOUL ON TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NO. ELE093. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH WILL SHOW THAT THIS IS A NORMAL PROBLEM FOR 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA VEHICLE OWNERS. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OR A TSB WITH OWNER COMMUNICATION TO BE FIXED RAPIDLY.

I HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT AND BACK LIGHTS VERY OFTEN. THEY ARE ALWAYS BLOWING OUT. VERY UNSAFE. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN BOTH FRONT LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT AND I'VE ENDED UP IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS.

I KEEP HAVING TO REPLACE LIGHT BULBS. THEY KEEP BLOWING. HEADLIGHTS FOG LIGHTS BRAKE LIGHTS TAIL LIGHTS.

HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY BURNING OUT WAY EARLIER THAN THEY SHOULD. THEY ARE BEING INSTALLED PROPERLY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND LOTS OF OTHER HYUNDAI OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AS I DON'T ALWAYS KNOW WHEN THEY ARE BURNT OUT.

I REPLACED MY BREAK LIGHTS BULBS OVER 10 TIMES IN ONE YEAR, AND A NUMBER OF POLICE WARNINGS, AND I'M AN AFRICAN AMERICAN MALE. I'M TIRED OF BEING STOPPED FOR A BREAK LIGHT ISSUES.

THE LIGHTS TURN OFF AFTER TURNING OR EVEN JUST NORMAL DRIVING. THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR SHOWS THIS HAPPENING. THEN YOU JUST HAVE TO HOPE THEY TURN ON.

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

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

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 BOTH SIDES. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL. THIS IS CONCERNING TO ME AND I KNOW THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUES, BUT YET THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANY RECALLS. WHY PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU *TR

THE TAIL LIGHT BULBS CONTINUE TO GO BAD. I REPLACE BULBS ALMOST 2 A MONTH. I RECENTLY JUST GOT STOPPED SATURDAY MAY 30 2020 FOR A NON FUNCTIONING TAIL LIGHT. I REPLACED IT 10 MIN LATER AND TODAY JUNE 1 2020 IT WENT OUT AGAIN. THERE'S OBVIOUS SIGN OF WHY THIS KEEPS HAPPENING BUT I'VE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON BULBS ITS RIDICULOUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT'S SON-IN-LAW CONFIRMED THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED.

HAVING TO REPLACE EXTERIOR BACK RUNNING / BRAKE LIGHT BULBS AT LEAST OR NEAR EVERY 2 MONTHS. NOTICED THAT MAYBE THE BULB IS GETTING TO HOT CAUSING THE LENS TO WRAP WHICH IS MAKING CHANGING THE BULB A REAL TASK AND HARD TO GET THE BULB BACK IN PLACE. GETTING READY TO CHANGE IT AGAIN TODAY (3/10/2020).

ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTS ON THE CAR ARE CONTINUOUSLY HAVING TO BE REPLACED. DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHT CAUGHT FIRE AND MELTED THE ASSEMBLY. BULB WILL NO LONGER FIT OR CANNOT BE MOUNTED BECAUSE OF THE MELTED ASSEMBLY. BRAKE LIGHT EVEN THOUGH ITS BEEN CHANGED WORKS SPORADICALLY. THIS CAUSES MORE THAN ONE SAFETY ISSUE. CAR HAS NO BRAKE LIGHT ON ONE SIDE AND COULD AT ANYTIME CATCH ON FIRE. DEALERSHIP HAS SAID THIS IS A PROBLEM AMONG THESE VEHICLES BUT HYUNDAI IS NOT YET ADDRESSING. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IF NOT DEATH.

EVERY OTHER MONTH MY BRAKE LIGHTS AND/OR HEADLIGHTS ARE BURNING OUT. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE MELTING INTO THE SOCKET. I'VE REPLACED THE SOCKETS ONCE AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, SO I PULLED OVER CHECKED MY BULBS AND THEY WERE PERFECTLY FINE NOT BURNED OUT NEITHER WAS THE FUSE, I WAS STUMPED SO I CALLED MY INSURANCE CARRIER TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED HOME. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE ONLY TO CHARGE ME $95 FOR A FIND OF THE WIRING IN THE HEADLIGHTS TO BE AFFECTED , IVE READ ONLINE OTHER CONSUMERS ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE SAME THING NOT TO MENTION THE MANUFACTURER HAVING OVER 5 RECALLS FOR THESE VEHICLE WHICH CONSIDERS THEM AS LEMON VEHICLES UNDER THE CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW

I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE BRAKE LIGHT AND TAILLIGHT BULBS EVERY 2 OR 3 MONTHS SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2016. ONE OF MY LIGHTS IS OUT AGAIN. I COULD NOT FIND A RECALL ON IT. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OTHER HYUNDAI SONATA OWNERS AND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE HOUSING IS MELTING AS WELL, MAKING IT MOST DIFFICULT TO REMOVE THE BULBS. NOT HAVING BRAKE LIGHTS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND HAZARD. THE COST SHOULD NOT BE ON THE OWNER AS THIS HAS BECOME A MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE VEHICLE PROBLEM. I CANNOT GO THROUGH INSPECTION WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND CAN GET TICKETS WHILE DRIVING. THIS ISSUE NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND RELIEF.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD BOTH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS SHUT OFF OR BLINK OUT. THIS HAPPENS SPONTANEOUSLY OR SOMETIMES WHEN USING THE TURN SIGNAL. THE FRONT HEAD LIGHTS AND REAR TAIL LIGHTS BURN OUT FREQUENTLY REQUIRING REPLACEMENT AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR.

WE HAVE REPLACED THE BACK BRAKE LIGHT BULBS MULTIPLE TIMES. NOW THE BACK RIGHT REAR BREAK LIGHT ISN'T WORKING RIGHT. WE TOOK IT TO HYUNDAI AND THEY SAID IT WAS MELTED AND THE PART WE NEED TO REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS AND JUST THE PART IS OVER 400.00. I AM NOT SPENDING 400.00 ON SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURER ISSUE!! HOW HAS HYUNDAI NOT SUBMITTED A RECALL FOR THIS? THERE SEEMS TO BE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT.

THE PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT ROUTINELY BURNS OUT MELTING THE PLASTIC TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY

HYUNDAI IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLIES MELTING. I AM ABOUT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I AM CONCERNED THAT ME OR MY KIDS ARE GOING TO BE KILLED DUE TO THIS. THESE BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED HUNDREDS OF TIMES. THEY ARE BLAMING IT ON USING BULBS THAT ARE NOT PURCHASED FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT IS RIDICULOUS.

1.BREAK LIGHT IN BACK WINDOW REMAINS ON...AS THOUGH BREAK IS DEPRESSED, WHEN PARKED. STAYS ON 24/7! WILL NOT GO OFF! I HAVE TRIED PLACING THE TOP OF MY FOOT UP UNDER BREAK, AND LIGHTLY PULLING UP; LIGHT FLICKERS OFF FOR A SECOND...IN THIS UPWARD MOTION, AND THEN QUICKLY RETURNS TO SOLID LIGHT! 2.ACCELERATOR INTERMITTENTLY DE-ACCELERATES...WITH NO WARNING, WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, OR ON HIGHWAY...WHEN TRYING TO STAY WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. I HAVE TO KEEP PUMPING ACCELERATOR, UNTIL IT "ENGAGES", ONCE AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS!

MY BRAKE LIGHT BULBS KEEP OVER HEADING AND BURNING OUT A LOT LATELY SOMETIMES MELTING IN TO THE SOCKETS AND HAVING TO GET THEM REPLACED IT COULD BE ON THE HIGHWAY , OR WHILE IN MOTION IT IS GETTING VERY ANNOYING AND COSTLY I FOUND OUT I'M NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN OTHERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT A FEW ALMOST HAD THE BACK OF THEIR TRUCK ON FIRE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMETHING REALLY BAD HAPPENS SENDING A PICTURE WERE IT GOT HOT DIDN'T MELT THE SOCKET THIS TIME BUT IS SLIGHTLY BURNT I WAS TRYING TO SEND THE PICTURE BUT IT IS NOT WORKING MAYBE I CAN SEND IT THREW MY E-MAIL IT IS ON THE NEXT FEW PAGES

THIS CAR'S LEFT-REAR BRAKE LIGHT ALWAYS HAS SOME PROBLEM, IT BURNS OUT VERY OFTEN. RECENTLY, I FOUND THAT THE PLASTIC BULB HOLDER WAS BURNED AND MELTED TOO. I HAVE READ FROM THE INTERNET, THE HYUNDAI 2013 SONATAS HAVE THE SAME COMMON PROBLEMS, NOT JUST MY CAR HAS IT. THE BRAKE LIGHT MAY BURN OUT VERY OFTEN, I AM AFRAID THAT I MAY GET POLICE TICKET BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEM, AND IF SOME OTHER VEHICLE HIT MY CAR IN THE BACK, THE CONSEQUENCE WILL BE HARD. I KNOW THAT HYUNDAI WILL RECALL CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011-2012 SONATA VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN DEC. 11, 2009 AND JUNE 30, 2011, ACCORDING TO A LETTER THE NHTSA SENT HYUNDAI. MY CAR IS 2013 SONATA, CAN I EXPECT A RECALL FROM HYUNDAI TO FIX MY CAR'S BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEM?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE REPLACED FREQUENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SOCKET WAS MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,177.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE BULB IN THE BACK BRAKE LIGHT MELTED INTO THE SOCKET AND I'VE CHANGED THE BULB ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MULTIPLES TIMES JUST THIS YEAR. WE REPLACED THE ENTIRE BRAKE SOCKET WHEN WE FIRST PURCHASE THE CAR AND I BELIEVE NOW THAT THERE'S A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LIGHT AND SOCKET AND PAY LABOR COST TO HAVE THIS REPLACED AGAIN.

WHEN I'M DRIVING THE LIGHTS COME ON OUT OF NOWHERE I EVEN COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND IT STILL KEEPS HAPPENING SEEMS LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS EITHER.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS BURN OUT OFTEN. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE LIGHT HOUSING IS BAD. THE PLACE YOU INSERT THE BULB IS BURNT AND MELTED.

SINCE BUYING THIS CAR AS 2ND OWNER I HAVE REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE BULB 5 TIMES IN 1 YR. THE WIRING SEEMS TO BE THE ISSUE. LAST WEEK CAR LITERALLY DOESN'T START WHEN TRYING TO IT SPUTTERS AND THEN I HAVE TO CUT IT OFF TO GO FINALLY GET IT TO START. TODAY IT TURNED OVER BUT SPUTTERING CONTINUES 2 MORE TIMES WHEN TRY TO TO START, THEN 3RD TIME IT CRANKS.

TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY MELTED AND HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. I'M SEEING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FROM OTHER SONATA OWNERS.

BOTH TAIL LIGHT HOUSING MELTED REQUIRING LIGHTS NOT TO WORK. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE WITH HOUSING MELTING MALFUNCTION. HYUNDAI SHOULD RECALL THESE KNOWING HOUSING MELTING ISSUE. THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR COST WHEN IT'S A FAULTY MANUFACTURER EQUIPMENT ISSUE

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE BLOWING OUT EVERY 2-3 MONTHS. I ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THEM AS SOON AS I'M NOTIFIED BY POLICE OR A BYSTANDER. I WAS TOLD THAT BOTH OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE OUT 4/8/2019 WHILE DRIVING ON A MAIN STREET. I WENT TO INSPECT AND BOTH BULBS WERE COMPLETELY FRIED WITH A JELLY SUBSTANCE ON THERE. I ALSO TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD BE A WIRE ISSUE AND NEED TO TAKE THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS PRETTY DANGEROUS, THE POLICE INFORMED THAT HE HAS PULLED OVER A LOT OF MAKE MODELS OF THIS VEHICLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE ABOUT THEIR BRAKE LIGHTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLAMPS BECAME INOPERABLE. WHEN THE HEADLAMPS WORKED, THE ILLUMINATION WAS NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE SAFELY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

"TAKATA RECALL". I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE BURNT OUT BRAKE LIGHT BULB 5 TIMES SINCE 2017. THE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND WHEN STATIONARY. THE LIGHT SOCKET HAS MELTED. BULBS NO LONGER FIT AS THE LAMP ASSEMBLY IS DISTORTED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS CAN CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE CAUSING HARM OR DEATH TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON, WHEN NOTICE I PULL THE FUSE WHEN PARK, WENT FOR SERVICE THE NEXT DAY. RECALL ITEM WAS THE PROBLEM, REPLACE BRAKE PEDAL RUBBER STOPPER, OTHER ITEMS WERE DONE. WORK WAS COMPLETED, PAID AND DROVE OFF. FOUR WEEKS LATER MY FRIEND SAID MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I WENT BACK FOR SERVICE, GUESS WHAT, I WAS TOLD TO FIX PROBLEM MY WHOLE LIGHT HOUSING HAD TO BE REPLACE. I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN LIGHTS WERE ON, THE HOUSING AND HARNESS MELTED, THE RUBBER STOPPER COST ME 635 DOLLARS. THE SECOND TIME WHEN I ASK ABOUT THE WARRANTY, IT WAS OUT. NO BUDDY KNEW WHAT CAUSE THE PROBLEM, HUS, WAS THE WORD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TAIL LIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

TAKATA RECALL -ALL OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS ON THE CAR WILL BLOW WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF REPLACING. -THE BACK LIGHTS WILL MELT INTO THE BULB SOCKET AND REQUIRE THE ENTIRE UNIT TO BE REPLACED. -THE BRAKE LIGHTS ALL SHUT OFF, EVEN THOUGH THE BULBS ARE FINE. - CRUISE CONTROL WONT WORK (THIS CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME OF THE COMPUTER UPDATE ON ENGINE RECALL. -TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AFTER RECALL TO UPDATE COMPUTER ON ENGINE (FROM PREVIOUS ENGINE RECALL) -MY RADIO COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AFTER THE INITIAL RECALL FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS. ALSO, WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

REAR TAIL LIGHT OUT. UNABLE TO CHANGE BULB AS IT HAS MELTED TO ASSEMBLY APPARATUS. BULB APPEARS BLACK. RESEARCH ONLINE REVEALED A MULTITUDE OF OWNERS HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES RELATING TO TAIL LIGHTS; REQUIRES FREQUENT BULB REPLACEMENT. RISK OF BULB BURSTING/FIRE HAZARD IS PRESENT.

I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND MY GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE, I HAD TO PUT A PAIR OF SCISSORS IN THE SHIFT LOCK SO IT WOULD MOVE, THEN MY BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT. I HAVENT HAD IT FIXED YET. MY ENGINE BLEW ALSO A FEW YEARS AGO, I HAD THAT FIXED BUT I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ISSUES LIKE THIS. IT MAY BE THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH OR THE SHIFTER CABLE

IM FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THIS WILL MAKE THE 4TH BULB I'VE PURCHASED FOR MY CAR. SEEMS LIKE EVERY MONTH FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS I'VE BEEN BUYING BRAKE LIGHTS. I TOOK MY CAR INTO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN GAINESVILLE AND THE TOLD ME THE SOCKET MELTED CAUSING THE LIGHT TO BLOW. I SHOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST BECAUSE IT'S A MALFUNCTION WITH THE LIGHTING.

BRAKE LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHT HAS BLOWN 50+ TIMES SINCE I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OVERHEATING AND CAUSING DISCOLORATION AND A FIRE HAZARD. THE BULBS GET SO HOT THAT THE PLASTIC CASING ARE WARPED.

HEAD LAMPS TURN OFF AND DASH GO TO MAX ILLUMINATION, TEMPORARILY BLINDING THE DRIVER. THE DURATION IS UP TO 5 SECONDS. THIS CAN HAPPEN JUST ONCE OR SEVERAL TIMES PER OCCURRENCE. INSIDE THE CAR CAN BE LIKE A SLOW STROBE LIGHT EFFECT. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING IN ANY CONDITIONS. THERE IS NO WARNING AND THE PROBLEM STARTS. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR SINCE 2017. THE PROBLEM JUST RANDOMLY HAPPENS.

I HAVE A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED AND HAVE BEEN REPLACING REAR TAIL LIGHTS ON THE LEFT SIDE, DRIVER, MORE THAN 3X A YEAR. NO PROBLEMS WITH THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT. HAVE BEEN ISSUED REPAIR WORK ORDER AT LEAST TWICE. LATE DECEMBER 2018 REPLACED LIGHT AGAIN AND VERIFIED LIGHT ON JANUARY 19, 2019 AND BULB IS NOT WORKING AGAIN AND REPLACED. AND THE SIDE LIGHT COVER IS MELTED FROM THE SIDE BULB. WAS TOLD BY AUTO TECH THAT THIS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY EXTERIOR LIGHTS CONSTANTLY BURNING OUT. BRAKE LIGHT WAS OUT, I WAS NOTIFIED WHEN I WAS PULLED OVER FOR A TRAFFIC STOP. I CHANGED THE LIGHT BULB THAT SAME DAY, AND TWO DAYS LATER THE BULB WAS BURNT OUT AGAIN. I CHANGED THE BULB THINKING IT WAS A BAD BULB, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT A WEEK LATER. I WAS TOLD AT HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT IT WAS A WIRING ISSUE, AND THEY FIXED IT. HOWEVER, A MONTH LATER, MY BULB IS OUT AGAIN, PLUS MY TWO LICENSE PLATE BULBS, AND A TAILLIGHT. I AGAIN FIXED ALL LIGHTS, AND TO NO SURPRISE, PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT IS OUT ONCE AGAIN. ALSO, MY HEADLIGHTS WERE JUST REPLACED THE SAME TIME BECAUSE THEY SEEMED DIM. BRAND NEW, SUPPOSEDLY BRIGHTER BULBS, LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE OLD DIM LIGHTS. I CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT UNLESS I USE MY HIGH BEAMS. THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT STILL NO RECALL HAS BEEN PUT OUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

FOR THE LAST YEAR I HAVE BEEN REPLACING LIGHT BULBS FOR MY TAIL LIGHT AND THE BULB KEEP BLOWING OUT OR BUSING IN THE TAIL LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO HYUNDAI AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS AND IN 2011-2015 HYUNDAI SONATA THEY HAVE A SHORTAGE IN THEM. I THINK THEY NEED TO RECALL AND THIS PROBLEM NEED TO BE FIX AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. I CAN RESET IT AND THE LIGHT GOES AWAY BUT COMES BACK LATER.

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND IN THE PAST MONTH IT HAD HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE WENT OFF WHILE DRIVING FIRST IT HAPPENED WHEN USING THE TURN SIGNALS AND THEN IT DONE IT WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT USING A TURN SIGNAL I WAS ON A CITY STREET EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED I AM JUST A LITTLE OVER 60,000 MILES ,FEELING A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING IT AT NIGHT

THE TAIL LIGHTS ON MY 2013 SONATA CONSTANTLY BURN OUT. THIS TIME THE BULB IS NOT BLOWN, AND BOTH FILAMENTS ARE INTACT, THE TAIL LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON WITH THE HEADLIGHTS, BUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS STILL WORK. ALSO, NOW THE BULBS ARE STUCK IN THE SOCKETS, AND THE BULBS GOT SO HOT IT MELTED THE OUTER EDGE OF WHERE THE BULB SOCKET ON THE BACK OF THE TAIL LIGHT HOUSING GOES, NOT ALLOWING THE SOCKET TO PROPERLY GO BACK INTO PLACE.

FIRST- AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY DRIVING, IN PARK OR REVERSE. SECOND MY INTERIOR LIGHT IS IN DOOR MODE DOES NOT GO OFF AS IT SHOULD THIS IS RANDOM AS WELL SOMETIMES IT WILL GO OFF OTHER TIMES IT DOES NOT. I HAVE TO KEEP IT IN OFF MODE - NOT FUN AT NIGHT LEAVING IN DARK FOR WORK OR LOADING UNLOADING BABIES. IT HAS TO STAY IN OFF MODE SO BATTERY DOESN'T DIE. THIRD- CRUISE CONTROL ONCE AGAIN RANDOM SOMETIMES I CAN GET IT TO SET OTHER TIMES I CANNOT SOME TIMES I CAN PULL OVER PARK TURN OFF AND ATTEMPT AGAIN AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK. FOURTH- CAR WOULDN'T START , NOT BATTERY RELATED SOME INTERIOR LIGHTS WORKED SOME DIDN'T RADIO DIDN'T CLOCK DID ALL DASH LIGHTS WORKED TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN VIA INSIDE BUTTON OR KE BUTTON, GAS TANK WOULD OPEN WITH BUTTON. THE DOOR OPEN ALARM WOULD DING. FIFTH- ODD SOUNDS BEST DESCRIBED AS GRINDING BRAKES FAN BELT MOVEMENT THAT'S BROKE AND THIS IS LOUDER AND LOUDER THEN STOPS ALSO HAS ODD SMELL AT THE TIMES OF OCCURRENCE -DEALERSHIP CLAIMS NOTHING IS WRONG OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING IS. THESE HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT OCCURANCES SOMETIMES MORE THAN ONCE AT THE SAME TIME. SOME OCCURRING FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW

I HAVE A 2013 SONATA AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOT SO HOT IT MELTED THE CASING. WHEN I TRIED TO REPLACE IT THE CASING HAD SWOLLEN SO LARGE THAT THE BULB FIT BACK INTO THE CASING. THE BULB ALSO MELTED TO EACH SOCKET ON EACH SIDE OF THE CAR. I HAVE REPLACED THESE BULBS ON THE RIGHT SIDE MORE THAN 15 TIMES AND NOW ON THE LEFT SIDE ITS SO SWOLLEN THAT I CANNOT PUT THE BULB BACK IN. THIS IS A HAZZARD>

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN A CONSTANT IN MY CAR, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. MY BRAKE LIGHTS STOP WORKING. I HAVE REPLACED THEM AT LEAST 10 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I CONSULTED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CAR HAD A DEFECT. THE BRAKE LIGHT SOCKET OVERHEATED AND MELTED AND CAUSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO FAIL. I CHECKED THE SOCKET, AND IT IS MELTED. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A BRAKE SENSOR PROBLEM. MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THE WHOLE BRAKE/TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN. I ONLY LEARN THAT MY LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING WHEN SOMEONE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, USUALLY SOMEONE DRIVING BEHIND ME, LETS ME KNOW. ALSO, THE MELTED SOCKET WOULD SEEM TO BE A REAL FIRE HAZARD.

I HAVE CHANGE MY BRAKE LIGHTS CONSTANTLY AT LEAST 3 TIME A WEEK THE SOCKET HAS MELTED WHERE I HAVE TO PUT TAPE ON IT TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. I HAVE GOT WARNING FROM THE POLICE AND ALSO A TICKET BECAUSW I NEVER KNOW WHEN MY BRAKELIGHT OR OUT. SOMETIME THE LIGHT EVEN GE5 STUCK I HAD TO RIG ANOTHER SOCKET TO IT

MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATAS BRAKELIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY OVERHEATING CAUSING MY BRAKE LIGHTS TO GO OUT OR ACTUALLY MELT THE WIRE HARNESS I'VE DONE MY RESEARCH AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY GOING OUT. IT SEEMS LIKE MAYBE ITS THE HOUSING UNIT AND WIRES. SO FAR WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE AT LEAST 15 BULBS.

INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING ON AND OFF AT NIGHT WHEN USING TURN INDICATOR AND OTHER RANDOM TIMES...BEEN ONGOING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS....GETTING WORSE....DANGEROUS!!

THE BREAK LIGHTS FOR THIS VEHICLE HAVE REPEATEDLY GONE OUT THROUGHOUT THE YEARS OF HAVING THE CAR. THE BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE LINKED TO MANUFACTURING AND POTENTIALLY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. NOW, THE BULBS SEEM TO MELT AND BECOME HARD TO REMOVE. THE SOCKET FOR THE LIGHT APPEARS TO EVEN WARP. THOUGH THIS REPORT REQUESTS A SPECIFIC DATE, THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE PERSISTED FOR ATLEAST TWO-THREE YEARS.

THE FRONT LIGHTS AND BACK LIGHTS KEEP BLOWING. I CAN'T KEEP LIGHTS WORKING. I HAVE PURCHASED PROBABLY 30 BULBS FOR THIS CAR.

IN JUST OVER 18 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, WE HAVE HAD TO CHANGE BRAKE LIGHTS AT MINIMUM 9 TIMES. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY ONE MECHANIC THAT IT'S AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WASN'T. A THIRD MECHANIC STATED THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. CURRENTLY, THE BRAKE LIGHT SOCKET WIRING IS BURNED REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING UNIT. FOR THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS NOTED ON THE INTERNET, THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY HYUNDAI AND SHOULD NOT BE AN EXPENSE TO OWNERS. ADDITIONALLY, MY CAR STALLED SUDDENLY ( THE ENGINE SEIZED ) AND THE REPAIR (REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE) WAS COVERED BY HYUNDAI WARRANTY EXTENSION.

BOTH OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS BURNED OUT AND MELTED THE PLASTIC HOUSING AND WIRES.

TAIL AND BRAKE LIGHTS FAILING INTERMITTENTLY. REPLACING BULBS DOES NOT FIX. APPARENT WIRING ISSUE. HAPPENS AS THE VEHICLE IS MOVING.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE BRAKE LIGHTS STOP WORKING. ON THIS OCCASION I WAS ON MY WAY TO A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT ON HIGHWAY 270 COMING FROM HAGERSTOWN MD WHEN MY PASSENGER TOLD ME SOMEONE IS TRYING TO GET MY ATTENTION THE DRIVER TOLD ME MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OUT IT WAS AT THAT TIME I REALIZED WHY THE OTHER DRIVERS WAS STOPPING SO CLOSE TO MY CAR. I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS BAD DRIVERS NOT KNOWING THEY COULDN'T TELL I WAS STOPPING. AS SOON AS I COULD I GOT OUT TO CHECK AND NEITHER BRAKE LIGHT WAS WORKING. I CHECK THE BULBS ALTHOUGH I JUST CHANGED THEM ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO AND THE BULBS WAS FINE. SO I SWITCHED THE LIGHTS FROM AUTO TO WHERE THEY ARE JUST ON AND THE LIGHTS WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER GRAND DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT TAIL ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE BULB WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT THEN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TAIL ASSEMBLY SOCKET WAS MELTING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO OURISMAN HYUNDAI ((301) 725-4400 LOCATED ON 3516 FORT MEADE RD, LAUREL, MD 20724) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT NO RECALLS WERE ASSOCIATED AND THERE WOULD BE A CHARGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT THEN STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING BOTH DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHTS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING GARAGE, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS WERE INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FREEMAN HYUNDAI (1800 AIRPORT FWY, IRVING, TX 75062, (972) 438-4801) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TAIL LIGHT HOUSING FAILED BECAUSE PART OF THE ASSEMBLY MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1109821. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

I HAD BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS REPLACE ON 2/19/2018 ON 2/22/2018 THE RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT IS OUT AGAIN. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT GOING ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR, AND THE PERSON BEHIND ME TOLD MY RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT WAS OUT. I CONFIRMED IT MYSELF WHEN I GOT HOME.

I HAVE NOW REPLACED THE HOUSING REAR BRAKE LIGHT UNIT 3 TIMES DUE TO SHORTING OUT. THE MOST RECENT SHORT HAS CAUSED THE HOUSING UNIT TO MELT CAUSING A REPLACEMENT OF JUST THE BULB NOT AN OPTION. THE TAG LIGHTS TURN OFF AND ON AND APPEAR SOMETIMES TO BE BURNT OUT. THIS IS ALSO A SHORT/WIRING ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE CAUSE OF CONCERN FOR A TRUNK FIRE AS THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER AS A WARNING TO GET THE LIGHTS REPLACED. ALSO, THE SPOILER ON THE VEHICLE HAS NOT ONLY CRACKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH BUT IS ALSO PEELING DUE TO COATING ISSUES. ONLY THE SPOILER ON THE CAR IS THE PROBLEM.

MONTHS AGO I HAD A BURNED OUT TAIL LIGHT AND THOUGHT IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE - THE HOUSING WOULD NOT DISENGAGE FROM THE TAIL LIGHT - TURNED OUT IT WAS THE LEFT ONE, SO DIDN'T FOLLOW UP. THE RIGHT BULB BURNED OUT APPARENTLY TODAY - TOOK 30 MINUTES TO LOOSEN THE HOUSING TO FIND A BLACKENED BULB(ALWAYS LIKE THAT) AND THE BULB MELTED INTO THE HOUSING. THE BULB BASE WAS ADHERED TO THE HOUSING AND THE HOUSING CRACKED AND WILL NOT HOLD A BULB. TAKING TO DEALERSHIP FOR HOPEFUL WARRANTY REPLACEMENTS. ALL LIGHTS ON THIS CAR AND MY 2006 HAVE TO BE REPLACED EVERY SIX MONTHS OR SO - THIS IS A KNOWN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH SONATAS THAT HYUNDAI HAS NEVER ADDRESSED. MY LEFT FRONT LOW BEAM NEARLY EXPLODIED WHEN I REPLACED ITAND IT WAS TOO HOT TO EVEN TOUCH AND IS NOW DIM - THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE LIGHTING WIRING IN THESE CARS AND AS THEY ARE A SAFETY ISSUE, AN INVESTIGATION AND RECALL IS APPROPRIATE. WORK ON THESE OARTS IS TOO EXPENSIVE AND GIVEN EVEN THE SMALL NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE - IT IS CLEAR THERE'S AN ISSUE - SINCE THE YEAR MODEL IS RELATIVELY NEW, PERHAPS MANY HAVE BEEN REPAIRED UNDER THE 50,000 MILE WARRANTY.I AM TAKING MY 60000 ,MILEAGE CAR TO WERNER HYUNDAI IN TALLAHASSEE AND FULLY EXPECT REPAIR OF BOTH TAIL LIGHTS UNDER THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY.

BOTH TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES PARTIALLY MELTED FROM THE BRAKE LIGHT BULB OVERHEATING. THE BRAKE LIGHT BULB ITSELF WAS MELTED AND FUSED INTO THE SOCKET HOUSING IT. THE SOCKET WAS BLACKENED FROM OVERHEATING. IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. I REPLACED BOTH TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES SINCE THE PLASTIC WAS PARTIALLY MELTED AND BECAME DEFORMED. THE ISSUE WAS LIKELY AN ONGOING PROBLEM WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED AND IN MOTION. THERE MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL WIRING PROBLEM AS THE UNDERLYING CAUSE.

WITH THE HONDA SONATA THE DOOR LIGHTS WANT GO OFF ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGER SIDE. WITH THIS PROBLEMS IN MIND I HAVE TO KEEP BUYING BATTERY BECAUSE IT KEEP KILLING THE BATTERY. I KEEP APPLYING TAPE ON THE KNOB TO KEEP THE LIGHT FROM STAYING ON BUT THAT'S NOT WORKING. I KNOW THIS IS A DEFECT BECAUSE ITS ON BOTH DOORS.

WHILE DRIVING, HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF AT TIMES WHILE USING TURN SIGNAL. THEY WILL ALSO TURN OFF IF I RUN OVER A BUMP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AT NIGHT, THE EXTERNAL AND INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING FLICKERED RANDOMLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (SOUTHTOWNE HYUNDAI, 7665 GA-85, RIVERDALE, GA 30274). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT IF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPEATED, THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE LIGHTING FAILED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE BEGAN AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED PER TSB:10110926 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE TSB WAS NOT RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLICKER AND THE DASH LIGHTS TOO. NOW THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH THE LOW AND HIGH BEAM BULBS AND THE LIGHTS WILL STILL NOT WORK. I PAID OVER 2,000 FOR A WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. BUT THAT WAS A LIE, THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

WHEN DRIVING 45 MINUTES TO A HOUR THE ENGINE HEAT POURS INSIDE OF CAR FROM LEG AREA UP LIKE THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN IN A 85 DEGREE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE. WHILE USING TURN SIGNALS MOST OF THE TIME AFTER SIGNALING FOR A LEFT TURN TO CHANGE LANES I MANUALLY TURN OFF SIGNAL IT CONTINUES TO RIGHT BACK TO LEFT UNTIL TRYING TO TURN IT OFF AT LEAST 5X'S. DURING DRIVING THE CAR ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN IF I AM NOT ACCELERATING INA 35 MPHIL AREA

2013 SONATA. TAIL-LIGHT HOUSING IS MELTED & DISTORTED FROM HEAT OF ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT (KOREAN MADE) BRAKE LIGHT BULB. SOCKET FOR BRAKE LIGHT BULB CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM MELTED TAIL-LIGHT HOUSING TO REPLACE BURNED OUT BULB. FIRST BRAKE LIGHT BULB FAILURE OCCURRED IN AUGUST 2017, WHEN MELTED/DISTORTED HOUSING WAS FIRST DETECTED. BOTH LH AND RH TAIL-LIGHT HOUSINGS WERE FOUND TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY BLOWING OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHT SEVERAL TIMES. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR TO HAVE THEM INSPECT THE PROBLEM. THEY FOUND THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND WILL COST A COUPLE HUNDRED TO REPAIR, WHICH AT THIS TIME I CAN'T AFFORD. SINCE THE DIAGNOSIS I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS SAME MODEL CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE EVEN SPOKEN TO A COUPLE OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPRESSED THEIR FRUSTRATION. THIS NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND TO BE RECALLED

THE FRONT LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ON MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. MY VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER BY A POLICE OFFICER ON FEBRUARY 8, 2017 FOR MY BRAKE LIGHTS BEING OUT. THE OFFICER WAS NICE ENOUGH TO WRITE A WARNING TICKET AND SAID THAT THE LIGHTS NEEDED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY ON BOTH SIDES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY ATTEMPTED TO TRY TO PUT THE BULBS IN; HOWEVER, THE CASING WAS MELTED AND IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO INSERT THE BULBS BACK INTO THE CASING. I ASKED WHAT WOULD CAUSE THE CASING TO MELT AND WAS NOT GIVEN A DEFINITIVE ANSWER. AFTER READING OTHER REVIEWS ON THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH OTHER CONSUMERS. THIS REPAIR IS NOT DUE TO ANY WEAR AND TEAR ON BEHALF OF THE CONSUMER. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE BRAKE CASING IS MELTING, IT IS APPARENTLY GETTING HOT AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHY. THE BULB CASING MAY CONTINUE TO MELT AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI'S CORPORATE OFFICE AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS NOT CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THE BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. I AM REACHING OUT TO EVERYONE WITH THIS ISSUE TO SUBMIT A FORMAL COMPLAINT SO THAT THIS ISSUE CAN BE ADDRESSED. THE REPAIR IS COSTLY ($580.00 FOR BOTH SIDES), IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE OF REPLACING LIGHT BULBS ON THE VEHICLE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY-THE MELTING OR THE REASON FOR THE MELTING MAY CAUSE A FIRE.

TAKATA RECALL , MY LIGHT BULBS SEEM TO BLOW OUT MORE THAN USUAL ON MY CAR AND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THE BAKE BRAKE LIGHT BULB BLEW OUT AND I WENT TO REPLACE IT AND I HAD TROUBLE REMOVING THE BULB BECAUSE IT HAD MELTED THE AREA THAT YOU STICK THE BULB INSIDE OF I'M WORRIED THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE WIRING AND I'M SURE THIS IS HAPPENING AT ANYTIME MY LIGHTS OR ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHILE DRIVING. THEY ARE GETTING WORSE AS THEY ARE CUTTING COMPLETELY OFF DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. SOME TIMES IT WILL EVEN DIM OR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS.THE LIGHTS CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. I'VE HAD IT IN SERVICE 3 OR 4 TIMES AND THEY CAN NOT SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR ON THE WAY HOME IS THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED AND CALLED IT IN FOR REPAIR. THEY HAVE SINCE THEN REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR IN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH NONE OF THIS HAS SUCCESSFULLY HELPED. THE CAR DOES THIS MAINLY WHILE DRIVING, BUT SOMETIMES WHILE IN A STATIONARY POSITION. MY JOB REQUIRES ME TO WORK NIGHTS WHICH I CAN NOT EVEN DRIVE MY CAR FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FEAR OF CAUSING A WRECK AND POSSIBLY INJURING SOMEONE OR MYSELF. I HAD A VIDEO TO SHARE, BUT ITS NOT IN THE RIGHT FORMAT SO IT WILL NOT LET ME POST. PLEASE HELP ME FIND THE SOLUTION TO THIS.

LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF. WHEN YOU TURN THE BRIGHTS ON IT SEEMS TO DO IT MORE. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AS THEY HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT NEITHER HAVE WORKED. THEY HAVE ALSO TRIED TO RESET THE LIGHTING SWITCH.... NONE WHICH HAVE WORKED I DRIVE MY CAR MAINLY IN THE DARK HOURS SO THIS PROBLEM HAD TO BE FIXED. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 OR 4 TIMES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM.
