| Description of the problem | I was driving down a road which is only 25 mph in my parents neighborhood when i turned around to head back once i got out the car i noticed that my drivers side taillight was hanging out by the wires. There was no damage to the taillight or on the car, the inside plastic pieces where it is mounted to the car were broken. Going to try calling hyundai tomorrow as it just happened tonight. But after reading all the other complaints it sounds as though they will do nothing. This is a safety concern. |
