| Component | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I enjoy the car but the low head light beams are dangerously poor. I have replaced the bulbs and have had the dealership raise them to their highest level. They still do not reach out 10 feet past the hood and as speed increase the amount of light becomes less. I mainly have to drive on high beams or take another vehicle when we go out at night. Is there any recall on this problem. There are many blogs on this and we need help from this agency to prevent hyundai from selling more cars with inferior lighting. *tt |
