| Description of the problem | While driving at night on low beams,there is a black line mid-way the windshield disrupting my viewing field. It so distracting i hate driving this car at night!! It is hazardous to my driving! Had it to the dealer service 2 or 3 times to check the lights and they also drove it at night and saw the same thing. They told me it was the way lights were designed and that cannot do anything for it!! Very annoying!! I also have heard from people that ride with me at night that" those lights would drive them crazy driving like that"!! I may have to get rid of this car because it is so annoying!! You need to get a solution to this problem soon!! I am one unhappy customer right now! This is my third hyundai and i like them..... But not this one!!! This is a 2010 sonata. Have also had trouble with the transmission as it shifts to the next gear. Had it to dealership 3 times with that!!! Not happy at all with this car!!!! There is no certain dates ... Just an ongoing thing. The date below is when they told me they couldn't do anything more about the lights... It is the way they were!! |
