Description of the problem	The brake lights keep burning out every couple months. You can check from my vin that i have only serviced from local hyundai dealership since i bought it from them. I researched online and this problem is affecting many hyundai models. Basically, the brake light socket is so hot that it burns and melts the light bulb. This is really a fire hazard. Why is there not a recall yet on this problem? Over the past year, i have replaced my light bulbs like 4 or 5 times. Please take a look into this. It will save a lots of people
