Description of the problem	I have several complaints with my sonata as it relates to brakes and tail lights. I have had to replace the brake stopper as it was making the car randomly slow down in when i was driving on the highway at speeds in excess of 70 mph .. When this was happening the traction control light also remained on in the dashboard. I also had brake calibers that were locked in place on my front brakes causing an issue having metal against metal. At this same time, my tail lights were remaining on even when the car was off. The stopper fixed this issue but i was also advised that i had to replace the whole rear light module because the wires had melted together this time it was the left side. In october i relaxed the whole right side rear lighting module because the wires had melted together in that light too! All of these repairs took place within a years timeframe. I have documentation but not with me right at this moment. All of these scenarios are pretty scary and put me and my son at risk. Not too mention my car is currently under an oil consumption test becaus we have no idea where the engine oil is going. The car has 140,000 miles
