Description of the problem	This writer is the owner of a 2013 hyundai sonata with 85000 miles. I purchased this vehicle in 2015 and noticed some issues with the taillight and headlights 6 months after i purchased the vehicle. I replaced the light several times before the mechanic informed me that my taillights would keep going out due to the piece that holds the bulb was beginning to melt. We then discovered that both lights were experiencing the same problem. I recently went to have my oil changed and had an inspection completed. At this time, the mechanic informed me that because i used the wrong bulbs, it melted. However, i informed him that just because i did not purchase bulb from them, does not mean i did not use the proper bulb. I am now unable to drive at night due to my headlight and taillight being out. The mechanic also stated that both sides are defected and needs to be replaced. I have also experienced a burning smell while vacuuming my car out. I am aware of these vehicles having multiple recalls and this should be investigated.... If this continues, i am afraid that the vehicle may possibly catch on fire. I have experienced my lights going out all at once while on a city street. This has occurred while vehicle was stationary, in motion, on a city street or a highway.
