Description of the problem	I have been having an ongoing issue on my 2013 hyundai sonata limited. If you just look at 2011+ hyundai sonata's on the road while driving 90% of them have a tail light out! The issue is the tail light assembly where the bulb clips in is melted so the bulb will not stay in place. The bulb is constantly moving around while driving so it comes lose or blows over and over. The only proper fix for this is to change the whole tail light so i believe hyundai needs to do something about this as if your tail lights are out you can easily meet in an accident. I have changed my bulb at least 6 times for far and i have only had the car for 6 months, its a 2013 hyundai sonata limited 2. 4 non turbo na. I searched several forums online and others have reported this issue or spend $300 to fix one or $00 for both. This a manufacturer defect the tail light should not be melting.
