| Description of the problem | I have owned my2006 hyundai azera for over 3 years,and have complained regularly to both the dealer and hyundai that the lowbeam headlights were a safety problem. They fail to throw enough light to illuminate enough of the roadway ahead to see safely. 3 years ago the dealer checked the alignment,and said they were adjusted to the mfg. Spec's, and couldn't be improved on. Today hyundai told me they would not deal with it. The dealer will not deal with it either. I also have another newer model azera, that has great lowbeam headlights. I feel this is a major safety factor, and the mgr. Needs to come up with a solution. I have found many other owners of 2006 azera's who have been complaining about this same problem. I use my hi-beams when i can, but normally i cannot drive with them on with any traffic. There are several hyundai owner websites, all of which deal with this problem, and they cannot get any satisfaction from hyundai to solve the problem. |
