| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 hyundai sonata 3. 3 i have had issues with the cars lights shutting off for years. I have mentioned it when i brought the car in for other recalls and issues under warranty and it was ignored. After much reading i have found that many of these cars are having issues that people have posted about. This doesnt include the many like myself that have not gone to the internet and asked or complained. I can not get my lights in my car to shut off on auto or manually. It is in the electrical fuse system. I have to lay down on my floor of drivers side and reach up and pull out the electrial plug that goes into the box to get the lights off... This is unacceptable and hyundai turns their cheek to this issue. I think it is a fire and electrical hazard. The part costs over 500. 00 and then to get someone to put it in. It has been faulty for years and many other hyundais have the same issue. Please research and make this a recall!!! It is totally unacceptable!! Also my other lights in the car illuminate on and off as you drive, they arent always on. Its really terrible and also not to mention the faulty brakes in the rear left caliper, another thing overlooked by hyundai. *js |
