| Description of the problem | I have had my car about a year now and i have had to replace the rear light bulbs 3-4 times because they keep burning out. It will eventually lead to a fire with this hazard. The bulb housing is burnt inside and the bulbs were stuck in there from being burnt. Also, the headlights are so dim and short out. I have to use my lights on bright and they still are dim. There needs to be a recall for this for the 2014 hyundai sonata before it causes a fire. I am only commenting because i read the exact same thing as my car has been doing and figured if enough people complained then they would realize this is hazardous. This has happened about 3-4 times and i am picking the date below for the last incident. Also, it only has a yes or no under was there a fire. I would have picked almost due to the burnt housing. I just wanted to point that out |
