| Description of the problem | There's a common defect with certain sante fe models that leaves the front of the cabin dark and without lighting when the front doors are open. It seems that the problem surfaces on models built at certain times of the year. Apparently hyundai chooses to ignore customer concern in this matter. My local dealer claims not to know anything about the issue. |
