| Description of the problem | I rented a 2017 hyundai sonata from enterprise in kelowna, british columbia (i am an american citizen). Driving from revelstoke to kelowna in the dark on the night of 16 january revealed the headlights to be completely inadequate. It was all i could do to see the road even driving as slow as 35 miles per hour. I believe this problem affects all sonatas, and perhaps other hyundais as well. In over half a century of driving, these were the worst headlights i have ever experienced. |
