2018 Hyundai SONATA Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1692564
Internal NHTSA #	11360806
Manufacurer	Hyundai Motor America
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SONATA
Model Year	2018
File date	20/12/18
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Headlight lens has a projection in the middle of the lens that interferes with and is very distracting to the lighted field of vision. Hyundai mechanics have tiold me they've gotten many complaints from drivers, but hyundai refuses to correct it. I filed a formal complaint with hyundai, and they gave a very dubious and weak excuse for the defect. They responded in writing to me "the black half-moon triangular image is designed to prevent glare to the vehicle traveling in the opposite direction. Hyundai motor america is unable to replace the headlamp assembly for concerns related to the half-moon/triangular shadow." this response defies logic and it appears to be an after the fact fabricated response so that they don't have to correct the design flaw. This flaw is obviously only observable during night driving.
