Description of the problem	In 2018 i started periodically to smell an electrical burning odor while driving my car. My driver's side headlamp went out. I replaced it on saturday with replacement part from autozone. Sunday that bulb went out. Took to dealership 4/24/18, they replaced it-hasn't gone out again. Smelled burning again. Received police ticket for driver's side taillight out. Took to dealership 6/26/18, explained smell. Verified wiring assy/socket was burnt up & bulb melted to socket. Called hyundai cs because they wanted me to pay for repair, explained periodic burning smell. Hyundai replaced harness & bulb, no charge to me. In june & july 2019, i had been told by unhappy motorists, you have no rear lights &/or brake lights. Took to dealership 7/19/19 explained burning smell. Was told passenger brake light burnt out. It was replaced, i was charged $44. 84. They said nothing about smell. Not being happy with the service dept not addressing the smell, i called hyundai cs again. A case was opened. Took car to different dealership for diagnostic per hyundai case. They only did the rearend, tech said they had known issues on this. Both sides were found to have burnt up wiring assemblies again that need to be replaced. Tech reported to me that the last tech at the other shop would have seen this issue at the time they replaced the bulb, if they replaced it! Hyundai gave me 2 options; they pay parts & labor-no warranty on either, or they pay parts & i pay labor for 12 month/12,000 mile warranty. I am paying labor for warranty. There are numerous reports online regarding this same issue. I will live in fear of my car burning up with/without me in it. Or god forbid being in an accident for rear lighting failure which could result in injury or death to myself and/or others. This issue needs to be fixed by hyundai and a recall & extended warranty time granted due to manufacturing problems!
