| Description of the problem | I purchased this vehicle march 2018, i have spent unnecessary money on headlights and my back brake lights. I've spent 180. 00 replacing my harnesses due to my bulbs melting inside of my harnesses. My car smells of wires burning inside of my car. It's multiple people driving these particular cars and i've noticed their sonata's have the same issues with the lights... I have people that drive the same car pulling me over or pulling beside me asking if i have trouble with my lights. You guys need to really recall these cars back in, my car shouldn't have a burning smell |
