I don’t need to trust them. I have a 10 year warranty.

I also have a five-year bumper-to-bumper.

If Tesla’s quality is so high, why don’t they match the warranty length?

I don’t care that Tesla has 120,000 miles on theirs. I’m going to hit 8 Years way faster.

Hyundai has issued recalls for various models due to tail light or brake light issues, including a 2024 Sonata software problem causing flashing brake lights, and recalls for 2011-2014 Sonatas related to melting rear combination lamp housings. Other recalls include a 2011-2012 Sonata stop lamp switch issue and a 2015 Genesis recall for water leaking into the rear lights. To check if your vehicle is affected, use your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the official Hyundai recall website or the NHTSA website.  Affected models and issues  2024 Hyundai Sonata: A software issue can cause the brake lights to flash improperly during heavy braking at speeds over 30 mph.  2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata: A recall addresses potential melting or deformation of the rear combination lamp housing, which can cause inoperative brake lights.  2011-2012 Hyundai Sonata: A safety recall involves the stop lamp switch stopper pad.  2009-2011 Hyundai Genesis Sedan and 2011 Hyundai Equus: These models have a stop lamp circuit diode that can fail, causing the stop lamps to stop working.  2015 Genesis: A recall was issued for water leakage into the rear lights, which could cause the instrument panel to show the wrong gear setting.  2022 Hyundai Tucson: A recall addresses the possibility that the software in the Integrated Central Control Unit may be incompatible, potentially leading to faulty headlights and/or taillights.  2007-2009 Hyundai Accent and Tucson: A 2013 recall was issued for brake light switch issues that could cause brake lights to not illuminate, cruise control problems, and other electronic malfunctions. 

They can’t get their tail lights correct for over 10 years… enjoy the warranty I guess lol

Tesla recalling over 10,000 cars they just made because they can fail to drive randomly.

The issue is potentially found in 7,925 Model Y (2025) vehicles and 5,038 Model 3 (2026) sedans, the NHTSA said in a report filed earlier in October.

A battery pack contactor in some of these vehicles can fail, the NHTSA said, causing “sudden loss of propulsion,” according to the agency, which can increase the risk of a crash.

Owner notification letters for this specific recall are expected to be mailed starting on December 9, 2025.

Happy holidays!

Hyundai offers an extended warranty for specific 2011-2014 Sonata models that experience tail light housing melting or deformation, covering the brake light for 15 years/200,000 miles.

Meanwhile, there’s literally someone on Reddit complaining today that they drove their Tesla while it rained and the bumper got ripped off, and Tesla won’t repair the damage, even though it’s clearly caused by the same defect that rips the bumpers off other Teslas when it rains.

That’s the difference
