Description of the problem	I have purchased my car in 2014. Since i have had this vehicle, i noticed that my brake lights were going out more than the norm (for other vehicles). I have received countless of tickets of the electrical issue that the 2012-2014 hyundai sonata owners have yet to get resolved/addressed by hyundai. I have had several of my police friends and other current/former hyundai sonata owners to tell me that they have pulled many people over with the same year/make/model for brake lights. This electrical issue is hazardous for not only me and my child, but any other individuals who share the road with me. The most recent incident was the last and final straw for me. I was driving when another individual informed me that my brake light was out yet again. I went to the autozone to attempt to change my light bulb just to discover that the electrical mechanism that holds the bulb in place is broken. It appeared that the light bulb went through a mild burst of flames. To have this happen, especially as a mother, on the same side as my child sits is unacceptable! I
