2006 Hyundai SONATA Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	898401
Internal NHTSA #	10441094
Manufacurer	HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SONATA
Model Year	2006
File date	25/04/11
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	During operation of the vehicle, when vehicle engine speed drops to approximately 1000 - 1100 rpm, headlights will dim or briefly shut off, radio will shut off, and interior fan speed will drop. This happens for approximately 1 second and is intermittent. From searches of the internet, this appears to be a common problem requiring replacement of the positive battery cable assembly. I do not understand why this has not been handled via a recall, especially since headlights dimming off or shutting off during night driving is extremely dangerous. This has happened on multiple occasions to this car. In addition, probably due to this voltage drop problem, several headlights, brake lights etc., have had to be replaced. This has already cost me several hundred dollars in troubleshooting and repair, prior to learning about the cable assembly.
