Brake Light Problems of Hyundai Sonata - part 2

All exterior lights on the car are continuously having to be replaced. Drivers side brake light caught fire and melted the assembly. Bulb will no longer fit or cannot be mounted because of the melted assembly. Brake light even though its been changed works sporadically. This causes more than one safety issue. Car has no brake light on one side and could at anytime catch on fire. Dealership has said this is a problem among these vehicles but Hyundai is not yet addressing. This is a manufacture defect and could cause serious injury if not death.

In electrical wiring that shorted out whole dash system and security including power windows glove department etc. Issues when brake light was not releasing transmission was jumping to gear of reverse and drive with out my control.

I have had to change the brake light and taillight bulbs every 2 or 3 months since I bought it in 2016. One of my lights is out again. I could not find a recall on it. I have spoken with other Hyundai Sonata owners and they are having the same issue. The housing is melting as well, making it most difficult to remove the bulbs. Not having brake lights is definitely a safety issue and hazard. The cost should not be on the owner as this has become a multiple, multiple vehicle problem. I cannot go through inspection with no brake lights and can get tickets while driving. This issue needs immediate attention and relief.

Hyundai is not going to do anything about hundreds to thousands of people having problems with brake light assemblies melting. I am about to file a class action lawsuit. I am concerned that me or my kids are going to be killed due to this. These bulbs have been replaced hundreds of times. They are blaming it on using bulbs that are not purchased from the dealership and that is ridiculous.

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.

My brake light bulbs keep over heading and burning out a lot lately sometimes melting in to the sockets and having to get them replaced it could be on the highway , or while in motion it is getting very annoying and costly I found out I'm not the first to have this happen others have the same complaint something needs to be done about this a recall needs to be done it has been said that a few almost had the back of their truck on fire something needs to be done before something really bad happens sending a picture were it got hot didn't melt the socket this time but is slightly burnt I was trying to send the picture but it is not working maybe I can send it threw my e-mail it is on the next few pages.

My headlights and rear lights and brake lights keep going bad, there is a problem with the lights staying on some kind of electrical issue.

I was driving down the highway going about 60 mph and all the sudden it's like the car shuts off, slowing to about 45. As I push on gas it does nothing then about 3 seconds later jerks back up and then repeats. It does this now everytime I am traveling. Besides giving me whiplash, it is dangerous because it could definitely cause a crash. My brake lights have been replaced 5 times in two years. Also there is always a loud clicking noise when driving. It sounds awful.

Brake light burnt out also burnt the light fixture. Dealer said this was a problem so they changed the brake light piece on the harness and the fixture. But the didnt recall it. So if you order another light harness it won't fit because of the change. Smh now air bag light came on while driving down road. Now riding without brake light. I've seen so many of the same without 1 brake light smh. Guess same problem!.

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.

This is the second time the bulb in the back brake light melted into the socket and I've changed the bulb on the passenger side multiples times just this year. We replaced the entire brake socket when we first purchase the car and I believe now that there's a manufacturer defect and I shouldn't have to replace the brake light and socket and pay labor cost to have this replaced again.

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.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that both the driver side and passenger side rear brake light bulbs had malfunctioned and would not illuminate. While replacing the bulbs it was discovered that the light bulbs had overheated and melted into the bulb socket. The cause of the failure was not determined. The failure had occurred on multiple occasions. Also while operating the vehicle the check engine light would remain illuminated. The local dealer five star Hyundai of macon located at 3010 riverside dr, macon, GA 31210 was notified of the failures but no assistance was offered. The manufacturer was not notified. . The failure mileage was 100,000. Jft.

Car brake light keep overheating causing the brake light sockets to burn out.

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.

My sockets constantly melt , the connector for my starter melted and my car would not start Hyundai wanted me to pay thousands to replace my wire harness when they are aware 2011-2014 have electrical issues, also my lights do not turn off I have to unhook my battery every time I get out of my car. My brake lights do not turn off while driving so nobody knows if im stopping or notand every Hyundai I see seems to have the same problem. I know it is a defect that they do not want to claim. I have had my engine replaced, also my brakes go bad extremely fast due to an issue with my axles that were mysteriously replace a month before I bought the car but they wont cover me because im a second owner.

In July 2019 I noticed that the brake lights came on in the middle of the night, although there is nobody in the car at that time. For the next few days the brake light were tuning on even when I was not pressing the brake pedal. In the same time the electronic stability control started to take over and it refused to accelerate when I pressed the gas pedal. The only way I was able to make it work was to depress the gas pedal and then press it again. I took the car to the mechanic because it was behaving very strange. The mechanic told me that the problem is a rubber stopper that kept the break pedal in place. When it is worn, it behaves as if somebody tried to hit the break. After the problem was resolved I discovered that there is recall 136 the accurately describes my problem for my car model. I contacted Hyundai about a possible recall but I got no response.

The lights they go out I replace them they go out again. The lights burn in the sockets. I have replaced 1 already my brake lights will not work and the lights that I brought were from Hyundai which means it's a problem with the car.

The brake light explodes every couple of months.

This car's left-rear brake light always has some problem, it burns out very often. Recently, I found that the plastic bulb holder was burned and melted too. I have read from the internet, the Hyundai 2013 Sonatas have the same common problems, not just my car has it. The brake light may burn out very often, I am afraid that I may get police ticket because of the brake light problem, and if some other vehicle hit my car in the back, the consequence will be hard. I know that Hyundai will recall certain model year 2011-2012 Sonata vehicles manufactured between Dec. 11, 2009 and June 30, 2011, according to a letter the NHTSA sent Hyundai. My car is 2013 Sonata, can I expect a recall from Hyundai to fix my car's brake light problem?.

This issue has been going on for months now. And I have driven around seeing many other Hyundai Sonatas with he same issue. When I hit my brake, the brake lights will not go out. I have finally figured out how to get them to go out (pulling my brake upwards with my foot). This has resulted in my lights staying on and my car dying a few times. It is a very dangerous problem as others are not able to tell when I am braking because my brake lights stay on wihtout putting my foot under the brake and pulling up on it.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle a burning odor was present inside the cabin. Upon inspection it was discovered that both the rear passenger and drivers side brake light had burnt and was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer heritich of new castle(120 s. Dupont hwy, new castle DE. ) who diagnosed that both brake lights assembly and wire harness kit were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 105,000. Jft.

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??.

Rear brake light on the drivers side was working intermittently and now will not work at all. I was not in an accident and no damage has occured to the part. It just stopped working. This is an led and is not supposed to go out according to gm. Gm is aware of this issur and will not fix it.

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.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Sonata. When the contact exited the vehicle, the rear brake lights failed to turn off. As a result, the battery died and the vehicle failed to restart. In addition, the traction control and check engine warning indicators illuminated. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 175,000.

My brake lights are blowing out every 2-3 months. I attempt to change them as soon as I'm notified by police or a bystander. I was told that both of my brake lights were out 4/8/2019 while driving on a main street. I went to inspect and both bulbs were completely fried with a jelly substance on there. I also took the car to a mechanic shop and was told that it could be a wire issue and need to take this to the dealership. This is pretty dangerous, the police informed that he has pulled over a lot of make models of this vehicle with the same issue about their brake lights.

Hello. I am reaching out regarding concern as to the malfunction of my brake lights. I currently own two 2012 Hyundai Sonata vehicles. The lightbulbs in both vehicles go out within days of being replaced. I was advised by a Hyundai technician that the casing of where the light bulbs is inserted was "melted" and needed to be replaced. I was also advised that my car was not covered under warranty and was not covered under a recall. In my research of this malfunction, I have found that this is not a individualized issue or concern that is isolated to my vehicles. In addition to causing a potential risk of a accident, I am very concerned regarding the potential of a fire due to the "melting" of the casing.

I pulled out on to a 4 lane highway and the engine stalled and the car coasted across. After a few seconds car regained power and went on but still losing power. When driving on interstate car keeps stalling at high rates of speed. When I cut on lights while driving car stalls/loses power for a few seconds then goes on. Brake lights aren't working all the time plus 3rd brake light keeps sticking. I need answers to this before we get seriously hurt!!!!!.

Brake lights stay on, when notice I pull the fuse when park, went for service the next day. Recall item was the problem, replace brake pedal rubber stopper, other items were done. Work was completed, paid and drove off. Four weeks later my friend said my brake lights were not working. I went back for service, guess what, I was told to fix problem my whole light housing had to be replace. I was told that when lights were on, the housing and harness melted, the rubber stopper cost me 635 dollars. The second time when I ask about the warranty, it was out. No buddy knew what cause the problem, hus, was the word.

"takata recall". I have had to change the burnt out brake light bulb 5 times since 2017. The lights have gone out while driving the vehicle and when stationary. The light socket has melted. Bulbs no longer fit as the lamp assembly is distorted. I am concerned that this can cause an electrical fire causing harm or death to me and my family.
