Description of the problem	The complete brake light panels-"taillights" on both sides of the back of the car (2012 sonata) - is completely out. (back driver and passenger taillight panels) all the wiring that carrys electricial to the back taillights are melted / completely worped / fused together and blown out. All the burnt wiring has disfigured and melted the inside of the tail light panels (in the trunk) so the bulbs or wires can not be replaced and functionable. Fyi: it carrys the smell of the burnt wiring and plastic. My 2012 sonata has "no electricial wires" that are functionable to connect the tail lights on either side in the back of the car. The dealership has tried to fix the bulbs and connection 2 times but nothing works- it continues to blow out & melt... This problem needs to be recalled the "tail lights, all wiring to the taillights, fuses and anything that is connected with the electrical for the tail lights." this will catch fire in the trunk or worse!
