| Description of the problem | Heard a noise in the trunk of my car while i was driving on the i was on the interstate. Checked the back of the car and the right tail light assembly was hanging from the car. The only thing keeping it from falling off were the light wires. The plastic bolts were completely broken off. Checked the left rear assembly and was the same. The plastic is broken and brittle. This could be a major safety issue for me and the other drivers on the roadway. Called hyundai and of course they were not interested in assisting in anyway. Never buy another hyundai. |
