Headlights go off when using turn signal. Vehicle does not have to be in motion for this to occur. When this happens, inside dash lights will usually be brighter - the same as when the headlight switch is in the off position. This presents a great risk for nighttime driving. Not only are you without exterior lighting, but you are also blinded from the sudden change of interior lighting. I believe the faulty part is the multifunction switch because it can be tapped or quickly turned off and back on to get the headlights to come back on. Sometimes the turn signal does not even need to be activated for the headlights to turn off - only touched. It mostly occurs when signaling to turn left.
2014 Hyundai Sonata lights complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 120 of 120, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My brakes lights stopped working in mid air. This can pose a danger to other drivers who are riding behind me with my vehicle having no brake indication. This happened in my 2009 santa fe and had multiple rear ends. This is a big concern for myself and my families safety as well as other.
I have never needed to replace my brake lights so they are the original ones my car came with. After being informed my brake lights were out when I went to check them the light bulbs were melted to the socket and have not been able to get any replacement light bulbs to work even with new sockets.
Bulbs will blow within 3-4 weeks after installing them.
Since I bought this car in oct 2014 I've had problems with the lights. I can be driving and they cut off. I can turn on my turn signal and the lights go out. Or I'll be driving and the inside lights come on by themselves. When I drive my steering wheel shakes.
Headlights and inside dash lights turn off for no reason while driving serious problem! It has happened on several ovcasions

When I go to switch lanes while driving the longer light turns on and the dashboard illuminates. It looks like its having issues. It has happened more than once. And I decided to report it because I was in back of a police car today and it was embarrasinf he asked me what was wrong. And its a new car. Bought it from carmax.
While driving in the dark, head lights turn off sporadically. At the same time, interior dash lights brighten as though day-time mode is initiated. Usually happens when turn signal is being engaged/disengaged, however it also happens randomly on its own. Can be disorienting to driver. May be construed by other motorists as a nuisance or threat.

The headlights and breaklights on thw passenger side of vehicle keep blowing. I have changed them out several times and need to change my break light out again now. It is getting to be an expensive problem.
When I turn the left turning signal on, the front lights flickers and switch between high and low beams. Sometimes they turn off. Also the interior dash lights flickers and turn brighter. I also have to replace front and back light bulbs 3 or 4 times in less than a year. I went online and these problems seemed to be a recurrent complain.

The headlights continuously go out on the car. The headlights haven't been as bright as they were when the car was first purchased. I have replaced the dim light bulbs at least four times and the bright light bulbs at least twice. I'm wondering if there's a wiring issue

Potential sonata fire hazard info.........car purchased new in may 2014. Car is 2 1/2 yrs. Old with 42 k mileage. While replacing car's oem rear burned out brake light incandescent bulb at home during stationary, owner discovered both rear brakelight bulbs on rt/ lft sides had burned out and melted with normal use, smell of plastic melting and melted both side bulb housing, brakelight tail light assembly and connector wires. Both main bulbs could not be extracted for routine maintenance due to melted housing. Owner took car to local dealership who had to "crack open" both light bulb housings to replace bulbs for tail & brake lights due to melted fusing of plastic parts. Car under oem warranty; suggest you have new LED tail lights & assembly installed for less heat and potential melting of assembly.
Whenever I put on the indicator at night the headlight turns off,I have to tap the switch for the light to come on. Took it to the dealer and was told that the multi function switch is bad,my car is only 2 years old,how can the switch be bad when I'm the only driver, I think its a factory problem.this is dangerous whenever I'm driving at nights.

I noticed that my blinkers were working but I could not hear them and my seat belt did the same. I went to the morgan hyundai dealership. They found that the vehicle was not making chime sounds caused by insufficient volume coming from chime in bcm.they ordered the module to correct and replaced it a few days later. When I left the dealership I could not tell any difference in the chime sound. So I thought it might be my hearing and scheduled an apointment with and ear doctor. I explained to him what was happening. He tested me and said that I did have some difficulty in hearing high pitch sounds but that it was not bad enough to have hearing aids. He went out to my car and listened to the car chime and said that he had good hearing for his age and he was also having diffficulty hearing it. So I left his office and went back to the dealership. I was met by a very young lady and she said that she could hear it but it was not very loud. She then got an elderly man that worked there to listed and he had the same problem as I did. Then we got a middle age woman sales person to listen and she had difficulty also. Then they got the keys for four 2014 sonatas and tried them all of them failed the test. So as a last resort we got the keys on a 2015 sonata and we could hear it fine. They said that they would contact hyundai to see if this is something that will be recalled or if they have had any other complaints. It concerns me because I am use to hearing the chime when I put my keys in my car and if fixed may cause me from having an accident with out my seat belt on. Please let me know if yall are having this problem anywhere else. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
