Tail Light Switch problems of the 2013 Hyundai Sonata

I am constantly changing out my brake lights/ tail lights. As soon as I replace them. , they go out. My brake lights may work but my tail lights will not. I'm afraid to drive at night for fear of not knowing if I have brake lights or not.

Brake and tail light continues to burn out. I have replaced bulbs and entire assembly every couple weeks and it melts the units as well as my engine stalls out and will not accelerate and does this intermittently.

My car burns bulbs like crazy. When I went to change my tail light, I noticed that it had cought on fire. Ive put 6 headlight bulbs both high and low beems in my car in the ladt 2 yrs. . And changed my tail light 2 times. Tail light had caught fire and burned. Not cool. .

Rear tail light brake lights gets too hot and melts inside the socket. It's a big fire hazard. The heat melted the inner part which made me replace the whole tail light. Both left and right.

My right tail light wiring is so hot it blow my light and its also have my my light melt by being so hot and I got another tail light assembly and it was from pull a part and now its doing to same thing it did before I changed it out.

The tail light bulbs continue to go bad. I replace bulbs almost 2 a month. I recently just got stopped Saturday may 30 2020 for a non functioning tail light. I replaced it 10 min later and today June 1 2020 it went out again. There's obvious sign of why this keeps happening but I've spent so much money on bulbs its ridiculous.

While driving down the road both interior and exterior lights shut off or blink out. This happens spontaneously or sometimes when using the turn signal. The front head lights and rear tail lights burn out frequently requiring replacement at least twice a year.

The passenger tail light routinely burns out melting the plastic tail light assembly.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated both rear tail lights and the front driver side headlights the bulbs is burning which caused melting of wiring into the sockets of the vehicle. The contacted stated the failure first occurred when driver side rear taillight burn out, shortly after the passenger rear taillight and front driver side head light. Also burn out in which the contact replace the bulbs and from each taillight. The sockets for each where melted into the into bulb and taillights. The contact repaired and replace both rear head lights and bulbs. But the failure persisted. The vehicle. Was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 82,000. Vw.

My rear passenger tail light keeps shorting out. Ive replaced the bulb half a dozen times now. Ive even replaced the tail lamp housing and it keeps blowing the light. This is a very common issue with these cars and the manufacturer needs to take responsibility for it and replace it under a recall. Why should I be responsible for it? theyre the ones selling defective junk to the public. Ive had numerous problems with this car. The absolute worst car ive ever owned. Ive even had the engine replaced under recall. Totally unacceptable.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle the driver side tail light was inoperable. Upon inspection it was discovered that the driver side rear tail light wire harness was faulty and had experienced melting and was deformed due to over heating. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer terry lee Hyundai who replaced the wire harness. The manufacturer was notified of the failure (case16214958). The failure mileage was 80,000. Jft.

Both tail light housing melted requiring lights not to work. This is a manufacture issue with housing melting malfunction. Hyundai should recall these knowing housing melting issue. The customer should not be held responsible for repair cost when it's a faulty manufacturer equipment issue.

I have to change my passenger tail light bulb every month this is not normal, now since it got overheated it had melted to the socket,I found it very hazardous.

My Sonata 2013 GLS when driving suddenly the low and hight lights started flickering many times. When the car is parked en engine turned off the brake lights stayed on,then the bulb burnt and melted . The dealer said I have to replace the whole tail back light because the melt.

Headlights and tail lights are constantly burning out way earlier than they should. They are being installed properly. I have researched this issue and found lots of other Hyundai owners experiencing the same problem. This is a big safety issue as I don't always know when they are burnt out.

For years now, I have had to replace multiple brake lights day after day. I've gotten tickets from this. I have pictures of burnt plastic melting (fire hazard!) why is this not being addressed as I just read over 50 of the same comment?! then recently, I replaced the entire tail light assembly on both sides. A few days ago, my brakes will not turn off! I am driving and my brake lights stay on all the time! again, safety issue! I have young kids and one car! I just left dealership showing them problem and get the car back with the brake lights still on!! $300 later and my problem isn't fixed!! it wasn't even touched! I keep reading the same problems over and over and nothing is addressed!! I have spent more money on repairs vs what I actually paid for the car (not to mention I've bought it brand new in 2013. In 2016 I needed a new engine! please make the lights and electrical wiring a recall!! we need help this crap is expensive! I regret buying this vehicle so much!!.

Brake lights and tail light has blown 50+ times since I've had the vehicle. The brake lights are overheating and causing discoloration and a fire hazard. The bulbs get so hot that the plastic casing are warped.

I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata limited and have been replacing rear tail lights on the left side, driver, more than 3x a year. No problems with the right tail light. Have been issued repair work order at least twice. Late December 2018 replaced light again and verified light on January 19, 2019 and bulb is not working again and replaced. And the side light cover is melted from the side bulb. Was told by auto tech that this an ongoing problem with the vehicle.

The tail lights on my 2013 Sonata constantly burn out. This time the bulb is not blown, and both filaments are intact, the tail lights do not come on with the headlights, but the brake lights still work. Also, now the bulbs are stuck in the sockets, and the bulbs got so hot it melted the outer edge of where the bulb socket on the back of the tail light housing goes, not allowing the socket to properly go back into place.

Tail lights brake lights head lights keep blowing.

I feel like I'm investing more money into this vehicle than I should. You guys know that these Hyundai Sonata 2013+ has electrical issue and should have a recall to be fixed. My horn doesn't work and my tail lights are melting after I just payed to get them fixed. This is a safety hazard !!!!!!! you guys need to get this right , it doesn't take more than 24hrs to do a investigation and approve the recalls for people to get their cars fixed , I will never buy a Hyundai again.

Both brake taillights bulbs keeps burning out this is an ongoing issue, it happened four times for me this year 8/1/2018, and three times last year 2017. Every time it happens I change the bulbs with the manufacture standard ones but fails again and again, I have done some google research and find forums of complaints regarding this brake light problem. Its becoming a safety issue because the tail lights sockets are overheating causing the buld to melt and stick into the tail lights socket, I notice the same problem when I change my bulb earlier this year. There's a lot of Hyundai owners complaining about this issue it needs to be fix before someone's car catch on fire.

Tail lights and brake lights constantly burn out. This issue has been going on for over 4 years for me and according to complaints online, it's been an issue as far back as 2010 for Sonatas. The bulbs are burning out too quickly and I am afraid that it may lead to a fire. I should not have to continue buying replacement bulbs or paying fees to fix this problem which Hyundai is responsible for.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving various speeds the vehicle tail lights failed to operate. The failure happened intermittently. No warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by a dealer. The manufacturer were made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 102,000. Nd.

I have been having an ongoing issue on my 2013 Hyundai Sonata limited. 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 in is melted so the bulb will not stay in place. The bulb is constantly moving around while driving so it comes lose or blows over and over. The only proper 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, its a 2013 Hyundai Sonata limited 2. 4 non turbo na. I searched several forums online and others have reported this issue or spend $300 to fix one or $00 for both. This a manufacturer defect the tail light should not be melting.

Rear tail light out. Unable to change bulb as it has melted to assembly apparatus. Bulb appears black. Research online revealed a multitude of owners having electrical issues relating to tail lights; requires frequent bulb replacement. Risk of bulb bursting/fire hazard is present.

For the last year I have been replacing light bulbs for my tail light and the bulb keep blowing out or busing in the tail light. I took it to Hyundai and they told me it was the wiring harness and in 2011-2015 Hyundai Sonata they have a shortage in them. I think they need to recall and this problem need to be fix as soon as possible.

Months ago I had a burned out tail light and thought it was the passenger side - the housing would not disengage from the tail light - turned out it was the left one, so didn't follow up. The right bulb burned out apparently today - took 30 minutes to loosen the housing to find a blackened bulb(always like that) and the bulb melted into the housing. The bulb base was adhered to the housing and the housing cracked and will not hold a bulb. Taking to dealership for hopeful warranty replacements. All lights on this car and my 2006 have to be replaced every six months or so - this is a known ongoing problem with Sonatas that Hyundai has never addressed. My left front low beam nearly explodied when I replaced itand it was too hot to even touch and is now dim - there is something seriously wrong with the lighting wiring in these cars and as they are a safety issue, an investigation and recall is appropriate. Work on these oarts is too expensive and given even the small number of complaints on this site - it is clear there's an issue - since the year model is relatively new, perhaps many have been repaired under the 50,000 mile warranty. I am taking my 60000 ,mileage car to werner Hyundai in tallahassee and fully expect repair of both tail lights under the 10 year warranty.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the tail light bulb lights failed and were replaced several times. The vehicle was taken to pohanka Hyundai (1770 ritchie station CT, capitol heights, MD 20743, (301) 899-0480) where it was diagnosed that there was a wiring issue. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was unknown.

Both tail light assemblies partially melted from the brake light bulb overheating. The brake light bulb itself was melted and fused into the socket housing it. The socket was blackened from overheating. It was the same problem on the left and right tail light assembly. I replaced both tail light assemblies since the plastic was partially melted and became deformed. The issue was likely an ongoing problem while the car was parked and in motion. There may be an electrical wiring problem as the underlying cause.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the tail lights failed. The vehicle was taken to blossom Chevrolet (located at 1800 n shadeland Ave, indianapolis in, 46219) where it was diagnosed that the tail lights burst and melted the wiring harness. The tail lights were replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I have to change tail lights every month. Now a new assembly is required because the blown bulb has melted it. This is very unsafe and I'm trying to avoid tickets and court if possible. Also there's a shortage in the wiring.
