| Description of the problem | The lcd information display located between the speedometer and tach is too dim to read during the day unless the car is in the shade. This creates a safety hazard since certain info is necessary while driving and cannot be seen under the stated conditions. The brightness cannot be adjusted. I have contacted hyundai and they recognize the problem but said there is no repair available. It is possible this only applies to the 2012 non-rspec 5. 0 model since i have talked to other owners with the rspec and they don't have the problem. Other similar models on my dealer's lot have the same problem. Please reply, thanks. |
