Description of the problem	In december, as i was walking to my car in the morning to go to work, i noticed my brake light hanging out on the right side of the car. The whole lighting fixture was removed from the plastic and not connected to the hinges anymore. I couldn't afford to fix it at the time so i rigged it so it would stay in place temporarily. About 2 months later, the left side did the same thing. The entire lamp light was hanging out of the sockets again! I became enraged because both times this happened while the car was parked. When i took it to the dealership, they said it was vandalism and said i would have to pay full price for both lights. After i did some research, i found lots and lots of posts with the same thing occurring to them. This is not a coincidence! There needs to be a recall for this as this is not safe. I am scared to wash my car due to the electrical wires that may be get shorted. I am going to try my best to complain about this in many platforms as i can until this is deemed fair and addressed by the proper authorities. I was actually praising hyundai for the experience up until this point. Now, i feel robbed and will not recommend this car due to the injustice experience. If this has happened to you, please report it. Thank you for listening.
