Ever since I have purchased the car, the left turn signal has stayed on, even when the car is off, and the key is removed. It never turns off. I've done research, and it is a faulty "body control module", and everywhere I turn, people are having this problem. The part is anywhere above $600.00 to replace, and shouldn't just go faulty on thousands of cars, it is an extreme safety risk.
2003 Hyundai Tiburon lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
One week after purchasing a used 2003 hyundai tiburon I was preparing to make a right turn and pulled the turn signal on. After exiting the turn, turn signal stayed on . Flasher relay attached to bcm fused not allowing the bulbs to turn off even after turning the vehicle off. Only temporary fix for problem is to remove fuse from circuit, in-turn disabling both turn signals and hazard lights. Permanent fix is to replace bcm, fuse panel, and main power junction on vehicle, this costs near $1000 to repair and for those that can't afford that amount are left driving without turn signals or hazard lights creating a safety hazard for themselves and others on the road around them due to the fact that they cannot inform other drivers of lane changes or turns. This may result in accidents, tickets, or failed safety inspections. I contacted hyundai and the representative I talked to knew of the problem. After researching this on the internet it appears to be a common problem, there have been many post about this issue and none have had solid solutions without disassembling the computer and replacing the relay that is sodered to the main computer board.
Clutch failed at 44,000 miles after buying car used. Service department would not fix , stated it was wear and tear. Cost $1500 to fix. Airbag light stays on, past 65,000 so service department wont fix it unless I pay for it. Hatch back latch wont work, $200 to fix that. Headlights burn out every other month. Brought car to service center because of a noise in the front of car. Said they couldnt hear anything. 2000 miles over my warrentee brought car back because it was getting worse, said it was front wheel assembly and would cost $1000 to fix. During cold weather emergency brake sticks took it in and they couldnt find anything wrong, go figure. Seats wont latch sometimes after letting someone out from the back. Is there a end to the problems that I have with this hyundai.
Repetitive problem with high beam headlights activating when the signal lights are utilized. Appears to be a short in the switch.
