| Description of the problem | On september 6, 2012 i bought a used 2006 hyundai azera from sutton ford, lincoln, kia dealer. I had the car for 3 days and noticed that the lights would dim on the car as well as the lights on the dash board to include the radio going off the air and coming back on whenever i had to apply the brakes. On streets that are not well lighted the visibility was very very poor. The back window shade does not work when placing the car in reverse or in the drive mode the motor operating the shade makes a noise until i have driven the car for a few minutes. The shade does not operate according to the car manual. This problem should warrant a recall on the vehicle. Additionally, whenever the lights dim and i am approaching another vehicle in oncoming traffic and having to stop at a stop sign or a traffic light i am not comfortable because i do not want the other driver thinking i am flashing my lights at them. |
