Description of the problem	In april 2013 i drove from suffern,ny to bridgewater,nj;i set the alarm and went inside. Twenty minutes later, i went back outside only to discover the taillight on the passenger side hanging out by the wires. Noone was home in area and there were no marks on the car- my alarm never went off a year prior (not sure of the exact date) in a parking lot =when i went into a building to play bingo, the taillight was fine when i returned to the car a few hours later the taillight on the driver side was hanging out (again hanging by the wires) both times i brought my car to hyundai because i felt it was a defect in the car but they insisted it was vandalism and made me pay approx. $300 to get a new one.
