Sonata Hybrid Limited Hybrid

  • Automatic transmission
  • 17,200 miles

After closer inspection of the water, condensation and debris buildup in my rear taillight assemblies and license plate illumination lenses, I noticed that the design of the rear trunk drain channels is horrendous. The cheaply made plastic, inner trunk plates that secure the lens assemblies have approx. a 1/4" gap between metal and plastic which permits rainwater runoff DIRECTLY into the lenses and light bulbs........very dangerous! Electricity and water.....HELLO?? Not to mention that the "high-voltage" hybrid Lithium battery is housed in the trunk as well!

Other complaints: gas mileage fair as hybrids go; driver's power window faulty; no passing power.
