| Description of the problem | Hyundai is not going to do anything about hundreds to thousands of people having problems with brake light assemblies melting. I am about to file a class action lawsuit. I am concerned that me or my kids are going to be killed due to this. These bulbs have been replaced hundreds of times. They are blaming it on using bulbs that are not purchased from the dealership and that is ridiculous. |
