| Description of the problem | I too have had a problem with the headlights dimming on my 2006 hyundai azera. This happens at night when you let your foot off of the accelerator. The problem is the rpms drop to below 1,000 for a second, and then they rebound to normal on the tachometer. You think that the motor is going to stop, but it doesn't. This decrease in motor revolutions per minute causes a drop in the electricity being produced by the alternator, which causes the lights to dim. The car is about 3 1/2 years old and has been doing this for the last 18 months. The dealer has not been able to duplicate this driving the car during the daytime. However, it maybe related to the fuel injectors. After using fuel injector cleaner, the rpm drop off on deceleration seems to be less severe. |
