Description of the problem	This is an ongoing problem, the plastic that the tail light bulb is attached to is melting and i have had to replace the tail light casing already recently. Since the replacement, i replaces a bulb and the plastic is starting to look burned again. Two weeks since i replaced that bulb, the light is out again. Everytime i have this problem my check engine light comes on. After a few days it goes off. When i take call the dealer they said if the light goes off they cannot check the problem, this problem started about 3 years after i got this car and now my check engine light is on again and will not go off. The driver side airbag light is alway on since a year ago. No accident. Looks like there are a lot of similar issues with sonata
