Filed Jan 3, 2019 · Electrical, Lights · 88,480 miles · SC

Headights turn off for several seconds while driving then come on again eventually. Both headlamps go off together. Headlight switch in manual on position, not the auto on/off position which I do not use.

Headlights flash when switching from "auto" to "on" position. Occasionally the headlights in the "on" positon will blackout for 2-5 seconds until headlight stalk is giggled. There is an electrical "noise" (like a short circuit sound...a "pop") when switching from auto to on. The turn signals also seem to trigger the "short circuit". All of these conditions can occur moving or standing still.on any type of roadway.

Headlights flicker on and off when using turn signals. They will go off for as long as two seconds and then come back on. Very unsafe when driving at night. This will happen when the vehicle is in motion and also when on stopped position waiting to make turn.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis. The contact stated that while driving at any speed during night, when using the turning signals the head lights turned off intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was repaired but the failure recurred. The contact was unaware of what was replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

1) almost hit from oncoming traffic at a stop light, when I was attempting to make a left hand turn. The signal turned yellow so I tried to turn left before I realized the oncoming car was going to run the light. I took my foot off the brake and hit the gas to make a quick turn to avoid the oncoming car. The car stalled for a second as I pressed the gas into the turn, then kicked into full power, screeching the tires. I thought this was a fluke but his same problem of "stalling" for a few seconds when depressing the brake and hitting the gas at takeoff keeps happening intermittently. This is a dangerous issue. When needing to accelerate quickly from a stop, this car has a seconds gap from hitting the gas to the car moving. I've almost been hit twice because of it. 2) the headlights switch off intermittently when using the turn signals to change lanes or turn. They flash oncoming drivers as I click down to turn them on before the turn, or when the turn signal clicks back after the turn. This problem happens almost every time I drive the vehicle with the headlights on. The lights have shut off completely for about 5 seconds while I was driving down the freeway, impairing my ability to see at night. I had to immediately pull over on the freeway in an unsafe location to turn the lights off, then turn them back on to clear the problem. 3) my vehicle had the brake switch replaced from the 2013 recall. However, pressing the brake still does not shut off the cruise control when driving down the freeway. I have to manually turn it off from the button on the steering wheel. I love this car, but I'm afraid to drive my children in it if these problems are not addressed. This vehicle is unsafe and it is going to kill or seriously injure people. Please investigate these mechanical problems and issue the appropriate recalls.

I was traveling on highway roads and made lane change. Upon activating the turn signal, the headlights turn off and remained off until the turn signal was deactivated. This has occurred intermittently since. This seems to be very dangerous for night driving on poorly lit roads.

We just recently purchased this car. The headlights are more like spot lights instead of flood. At night, the low beam bulbs direct a light down low, and there's a horizon above them, which is dark. It's a horizontal line ahead of you. When you start down a hill, towards the bottom, the dark area completely covers the road ahead. You cannot see anything in front and above you, like the road climbing in front of you. Also, that horizontal dark line moves up and down with the bumps in the road, and almost brings on motion sickness. If we get in a hilly area, that could become possible. The dealer won't adjust the lights higher, because they're in spec, now. This is dangerous, and should be addressed.
