Potential Sonata fire hazard info.........car purchased new in May 2014. Car is 2 1/2 yrs. Old with 42 K mileage. While replacing car's oem rear burned out brake light incandescent bulb at home during stationary, owner discovered both rear brakelight bulbs on rt/ lft sides had burned out and melted with normal use, smell of plastic melting and melted both side bulb housing, brakelight tail light assembly and connector wires. Both main bulbs could not be extracted for routine maintenance due to melted housing. Owner took car to local dealership who had to "crack open" both light bulb housings to replace bulbs for tail & brake lights due to melted fusing of plastic parts. Car under oem warranty; suggest you have new led tail lights & assembly installed for less heat and potential melting of assembly.

Whenever I put on the indicator at night the headlight turns off, I have to tap the switch for the light to come on. Took it to the dealer and was told that the multi function switch is bad, my car is only 2 years old, how can the switch be bad when I'm the only driver, I think its a factory problem.this is dangerous whenever I'm driving at nights.

I noticed that my blinkers were working but I could not hear them and my seat belt did the same. I went to the morgan Hyundai dealership. They found that the vehicle was not making chime sounds caused by insufficient volume coming from chime in BCM.they ordered the module to correct and replaced it a few days later. When I left the dealership I could not tell any difference in the chime sound. So I thought it might be my hearing and scheduled an apointment with and ear doctor. I explained to him what was happening. He tested me and said that I did have some difficulty in hearing high pitch sounds but that it was not bad enough to have hearing aids. He went out to my car and listened to the car chime and said that he had good hearing for his age and he was also having diffficulty hearing it. So I left his office and went back to the dealership. I was met by a very young lady and she said that she could hear it but it was not very loud. She then got an elderly man that worked there to listed and he had the same problem as I did. Then we got a middle age woman sales person to listen and she had difficulty also. Then they got the keys for four 2014 Sonatas and tried them all of them failed the test. So as a last resort we got the keys on a 2015 Sonata and we could hear it fine. They said that they would contact Hyundai to see if this is something that will be recalled or if they have had any other complaints. It concerns me because I am use to hearing the chime when I put my keys in my car and if fixed may cause me from having an accident with out my seat belt on. Please let me know if yall are having this problem anywhere else. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
