WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT I SMELLED AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. ONCE AT THE RED LIGHT I SAW SMOKE AND IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I PULLED OVER AND EXITED THE VEHICLE TO SEE THAT THE 3RD TAIL LIGHT WAS SMOKING. I WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. I REMOVED THE LIGHT CASING AND SECURED THE WIRING. ON MY WAY TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP, MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON MY DASHBOARD. THE WIRING FOR THIS 3RD TAIL LIGHT RUNS ALONG THE GAS TANK ENTRANCE AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN EXPLOSION. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL #13V113000 AND THAT MY REPAIRS WOULD BE OUT-OF-POCKET.

MY VEHICLE THE RIGHT SIDE BREAK, BACK, AND TURNING SIGNAL LIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT EVERY TWO WEEKS AFTER I CHANGE THE LIGHT BULBS.

MY PASSENGER LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO GET LOOKED AT AND THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE WIRING IN THE LIGHT CAP HAS TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED.

I HAVE A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA, I'M HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY LEFT SIGNAL. I STOPPED @ A RED LIGHT TURNED MY LEFT SIGNAL ON. I NOTICE MY LEFT SIGNAL WAS FLASHING FAST. WHEN IT WENT OF IT CAUSE MY HEAD LIGHTS & MY LIGHTS IN THE INSIDE TO BLINK OFF & ON. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECK MY LIGHTS AND NOTICE THE LEFT SIGNAL BULB IN THE FRONT WAS BURNED. I WENT TO A AUTO PLACE AND REPLACED A NEW BULB. IT LAST FOR @ LEAST 4 MONTHS & IT WENT AGAIN ACTING UP. I CHANGE DA BULB AGAIN AFTER 4 MONTHS IT STARTS AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP THE BULB WAS CHANGE THEN. I NOTICE AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS IT STARTS ACTING UP. I CAN'T KEEP BRINGING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP OR TO A AUTO PLACE TO REPLACE THE BULB. BECAUSE IT COST ME I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. BECAUSE EVERYTIME I USE MY LEFT SIGNAL MY HEADLIGHTS BLINKS OFF & ON OUTSIDE & INSIDE OF MY CAR. I'M AFRAID I WILL BE DRIVING & WHEN I'LL USE THAT LEFT SIGNAL & NOTHING WILL COME BACK ON. THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OR BACK WANT SEE ME OR NO WHAT I'M DOING. THAT'S A BIG HAZARD TO MY LIFE & OTHERS ON THE ROAD ALSO. MY NAME IS [XXX], WHEN YOU WILL PULL IT UP UNDER THE VIN# IT'S UNDER MY MOTHER NAME [XXX] I [XXX] AM THE DRIVER OF THE CAR. IF NO ANSWER PLEASE LEAVE YOUR NAME & A NUMBER DO I CAN CONTACT U BACK. I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY COMPLAINT ON WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CAR. HAVE A GREAT DAY & BE BLESS.

I CAN HARDLY SEE 6-8 METERS WHEN DRIVING ON DARK STREET, IF I TRAVEL MORE THAN THE SPEED OF 35 MPH , I CANNOT SEE THE DIVIDER UNITIL I COME CLOSE TO IT. COMPLAINED TO HYUNDAI SEVERAL TIMES FOR FEW YEARS TO DIFFERENT DEALERS. NONE OF THEM HAD TAKEN ANY ACTION AND THEY SAY THE LIGHTS ARE ACCORDING TO SPECS. THE LIGHTS FALL CLOSE AND SPREAD WIDE BUT THEY DO NOT FOCUS STRAIGHT AND FAR. THIS IS HAPPENING FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE CAR PURCHASED IN 2014. TILL NOW IT IS USED ONLY DURING DAY TIMES BUT RECENTLY I HAVE STARTED USING AT NIGHT TIMES AND FEELING MORE UNSECURE. MANY TIMES I HAD TO HAVE THE HIGH BEAM TO BE SAFE.
