| Description of the problem | Both brake taillights bulbs keeps burning out this is an ongoing issue, it happened four times for me this year 8/1/2018, and three times last year 2017. Every time it happens i change the bulbs with the manufacture standard ones but fails again and again, i have done some google research and find forums of complaints regarding this brake light problem. Its becoming a safety issue because the tail lights sockets are overheating causing the buld to melt and stick into the tail lights socket, i notice the same problem when i change my bulb earlier this year. There's a lot of hyundai owners complaining about this issue it needs to be fix before someone's car catch on fire. |
