Brake Light problems of the 2014 Hyundai Sonata

Break light harness was burning around the socket. Caught on time could of caused a fire and serious injury to me and my children. This should be recalled as it is known to be an issue with most of this model vehicle.

Break lights continue to burn out. In the 5 yrs I've had the vehicle this is a constant issue. I've taken the vehicle to balise Hyundai replacing the bulbs multiple times and replaced one harness. Today both break lights had to have a full assembly replacement, including harness and the bulbs melted the plastic. The passenger break light even exploded that's how overheated it became. There have been no indication when these lights burn out. I've always had a stranger, neighbor, family or friend alert me that one of my lights were out. 4/26/21 a stranger driving behind pulled up next to me to alert me my tail lights were out. Not knowing break lights out is a safety hazard whether driving on street or highway. The back window has an additional light that has continued to work. In the last 3 years my driving was reduced more than 60% as I relocated to work from home. The vehicle was serviced today 6/2/21 at hiley Hyundai who performed the most recent inspection and diagnostic on the vehicle, as well as performed the repairs.

My headlights keep going very dimmed and brake lights consistently burning out in my car. I am replacing them every couple of months. This has been going on over a year.

When my brake light bulb went out we tried to change it. It was melted into socket. Took to dealer they said 250. 00 for each side. Both sides had melted in. You dont just replace the socket u replace wires and all. 250. 00 each side everytime they go out. I have since learned this happens in all Hyundai models and years. Why are they not recalled?.

Drivers side brake light bulb exploded, and melted into the socket. I was advised that you cannot replace just the socket and Hyundai is quoting $400 for the entire wiring harness. This is a fire hazard and causes an additional safety hazard with the loss of the brake light.

I am constantly having to have my brake lights and head lights replaced. They are blowing every 2-3 months. I have had a mechanic look at the wiring and there seems to be no corrosion. I am unsure why I am replacing bulbs every few months.

My right brake light keeps burning and has actually burned out and no bulb will work now I cannot pass inspection due to this issue and it's becoming a safety issue I'm always smelling burnt plastic am afraid my car will end up catching fire please take this serious.

The rear brake light bulbs located in the trunk get extremely hot and melt the light assembly. I have replaced the bulbs at least 3 times per year (approximately 30 bulbs) since purchasing this car in August 2015. I have been told that the reason is faulty wiring by Hyundai. I believe this is a safety hazard because I am concerned that the bulbs may at some point reach extremely high temperatures and do more damage than just melting the light assembly.

The rear brake light bulbs located in the trunk compartment get extremely hot which has caused melting of the light assembly. This is an extreme fire hazard. It is believed that this is caused by faulty wiring by Hyundai. Since purchasing the vehicle in 2015, I have replaced approximately 20 bulbs.

Brake lights keep blowing out. I have replaced individually 2 times, and both together 2 times in 2019. I know I am not purchasing off-market or used or faulty light bulbs. There must be something wrong with the vehicle. The most recent replacement of both bulbs was oct. 20, 2019.

I constantly have to replace my light bulbs of my brake lights. The light bulbs over heat and then brake. It's melting the the plastic around the brake lights. I'm afraid it's going to start a fire.

Takata recall, the brake light & housing for the brake light burns & gets hot immediately after pressing the brake, whether the car is off or on. The brake light also needs to be changed too often. . . Seems dangerous, there's a defect. I took my other car (same exact model & year) to ontario Hyundai about 4 or 5 years ago & they changed the housing, stating there had been issues & now I'm experiencing the same issue & it's not showing on the recall list.

In 2018 I started periodically to smell an electrical burning odor while driving my car. My driver's side headlamp went out. I replaced it on Saturday with replacement part from autozone. Sunday that bulb went out. Took to dealership 4/24/18, they replaced it-hasn't gone out again. Smelled burning again. Received police ticket for driver's side taillight out. Took to dealership 6/26/18, explained smell. Verified wiring assy/socket was burnt up & bulb melted to socket. Called Hyundai cs because they wanted me to pay for repair, explained periodic burning smell. Hyundai replaced harness & bulb, no charge to me. In June & July 2019, I had been told by unhappy motorists, you have no rear lights &/or brake lights. Took to dealership 7/19/19 explained burning smell. Was told passenger brake light burnt out. It was replaced, I was charged $44. 84. They said nothing about smell. Not being happy with the service dept not addressing the smell, I called Hyundai cs again. A case was opened. Took car to different dealership for diagnostic per Hyundai case. They only did the rearend, tech said they had known issues on this. Both sides were found to have burnt up wiring assemblies again that need to be replaced. Tech reported to me that the last tech at the other shop would have seen this issue at the time they replaced the bulb, if they replaced it! Hyundai gave me 2 options; they pay parts & labor-no warranty on either, or they pay parts & I pay labor for 12 month/12,000 mile warranty. I am paying labor for warranty. There are numerous reports online regarding this same issue. I will live in fear of my car burning up with/without me in it. Or god forbid being in an accident for rear lighting failure which could result in injury or death to myself and/or others. This issue needs to be fixed by Hyundai and a recall & extended warranty time granted due to manufacturing problems!.

The rear brake lights original sockets and wiring, burn so hot that it melts the sockets. This cause a safety hazard, as the lightbulbs are repeatedly being burned out and melted into the sockets. In motiin.

Brake light failure-replaced bulbs 4 times in the last 2 years using the manufacturers suggested bulb stock number. This is a fire hazard . Hyundai recalled 2011-2013 for brake light failures- what about 2014??.

My brake lights don't work I checked the bulbs and fuses and there ok.

The drivers side brake light melted to socket. I had it replaced & Hyundai dealer charged me over $300. 00. Now the other side has melted and I cant get the part.

Headlights and brake lights consistently were burning out in my car. I would go to Hyundai and have them replaced with Hyundai parts but eventually had to fix the brake lights due to a burnout of the electrical harness in the brake system.
