My rear tail lights go out all of the time. I have owned the car for 5 years and have had to replace the rear lights at least 25 times as well as the head lights at least 15 times. When replacing the rear bulbs, the housing case is so hot that my lights actually melted inside of it and burned. I had to break the bulb just to be able to remove it. This is very frustrating and I am scared that they are going to start an electrical fire one of these days. I have had nothing but trouble with the entire electrical system with this car from the moment I bought it. Now, the traction control light goes off and the car loses driving power while the light is on. The car also loses power when I turn the headlights on?? I can not imagine spending another dime on lights for this car. I have been to the auto place so many times, they actually have bulbs waiting there for me!!! Please Hyundai PUT A RECALL ON THE CAR ALREADY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR HURT!!!

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 is melted so the bulb will not stay in place. The bulb is moving around while driving so it blows over and over. The only 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, it's a 2013 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.4 non turbo NA.
