| Description of the problem | The low beam headlights at night have very distracting dark line and half moon dark spots that seriously hinder the driver's view of the road. There are many complaints by owners at cargurus. Com. Just do a search for 2018 sonata limited healights. Many have reported this to hyundai and to nhtsa but so far our complaints have fallen on deaf ears. Just have some test drive at night on dark country road and see for your self. This is going to cause someone to be killed. |
