5 year old car with 122 000 kms or 76 000 miles on it. LED tail lights malfunctioning, sometimes out completely, sometimes flickers, gets worst as weather cools down (below minus 5 Celsius or about 25 Fahrenheit).

Replacing them costs $1, 100 CAD or $800 USD, and there is no guarantee those won't fail either. So many complaints on-line this warrants a recall but Hyundai doesn't want to pick up the tab.

Previous car was a Toyota. Put 600 000kms on it (375,000 miles). Never any issues on it. Going back to Toyota after this car. Never again Hyundai. Constant issues, windshield wiper linkage wore out, rotors rusted out, struts failed... all of this on a well cared for low mileage car. POOR Quality Hyundai. Don't buy a Hyundai.

LED tail lights started flickering while driving down the road. Driver side brake light would flicker when brake was depressed. Checked wiring connections, replaced turn signal bulbs, nothing would stop the flickering. Finally the passenger side tail light failed completely. Then about 2 weeks later the driver side tail light failed. Took it to a Hyundai dealer. The checked out the lights. Verified power was coming to the lights, but they would still not illuminate. Applied external power to the lights, still no illumination. Recommendation from the dealer was to completely replace the units.

Unfortunately these LED lights cost over $600 each. It would be $1300 to replace both including the labor. Fortunately when the tail lights failed, the flickering problem in the brake light stopped and the brake lights still work at the moment. I think if the brake lights do fail, I will probably replace the complete unit with either the old standard halogen units or try to find a replacement in the junk yards. There's no way I'm spending $1300 to replace with another set of LEDs that could fail the same way in 4 years.

LEDs should last MUCH LONGER than these have.
