We have classified the 3 complaints from 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport about EXTERIOR LIGHTING into the following categories.
Purchased vehicle in june 2018 and noticed a problem with headlights, shadow on roadway when driving. i noticed in housing that there were finger prints on lenses and took vehicle back to dealer for remedy...they replaced headlight on driver's side. did not think anything else about it until i drove the vehicle during darkness. shadows were observed on side of road that could and did hide bikers/walkers on the side of the roadway. upon closer inspection of the lights while parked, i noticed that these shadows were also observed on the passenger side. passengers in vehicle also noticed headlight problems on both sides of vehicle. i contacted dealer about this problem and was told that this was made that way during manufacturing. as time passed, anytime that i took vehicle out during night time hours, whether on the highway, interstate, or country road, these dark spots were always visible and continue to prevent me as a driver from seeing the roadway in its entirety. a photo is attached that was taken today, but the problem has persisted and have met with no solution being offered by the dealer or manufacturer. i decided to file a formal complaint on this ongoing problem with this vehicle's lighting problems.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 hyundai santa fe sport. while the vehicle was parked and shut off, the rear brake lights were illuminated and smoke and flames were present under the front passenger side of the vehicle. the flames were extinguished by the campus police prior to the fire department's arrival. the fire department disconnected the vehicle's battery. a campus police report and a fire department report were filed. the cause of the failure was not determined. the local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 10,000.
Both of headlight and fog light is getting foggy two day after i got the car from the dealer.replaced with a new one and still getting foggy.
Low beam headlights have a dark spot approx. 100 feet in front of the vehicle in the left hand lane. hyundai says it is designed that way to prevent glare with the hid lights the vehicle has. it is hard to see much in the left lane when driving. the attached photo shows the dark spot on the left side of center. it has been that way since i first drove the car at night. i think it is a definite safety issue.
