Description of the problem | I have a new 2011 sonata. I been having every problem you can imagine with my car. This time it's my left tail light, it was literally hanging on because of my trunk. I looked inside where the light use to be attached and all the plastic crumbled apart. I called hyundai about it and they said they had a new tail light to replace mine with and when i got there found out it was broken, so they took a tail light off another sonata and put it on mine until they order another one. My original tail light scratched and craved the paint on my car in and around that area. It could have easily caused an accident if i had not been so cautious driving after seeing it hanging on by my trunk. One of the service guys told me this was the 4th time he seen this! |
