2003 tiburon : my lights started going on and off on their own and indicator lights on and off erratically. Air bag light stayed on I went off the road at 100k and airbag did not deploy also having alternator problems melting fan switch and attaching harness rear wiper failed, trunk release fail, both door locks failed cant lock my car anymore. Alot of safety issues that seem to be really common all related to bcm computer and electrical wiring cheap and dangerous. I have also had a head gasket go while the car was under warranty and the dealership refused to replace saying it was detergent in my oil I have worked on cars my whole life and been a mechanic for the last 12 years had to replace the head gasket myself after the warranty ran out. Transmission shift solenoid also failed from 1 to 2nd gear dealership replaced the transmission for that one. I have had a very bad experience with hyundai service I had plugs fouling because of the head gasket leaking and capital hyundai said it was my plugs which were ngk and only a few months old they were fouled hyundai wanted $100 to replace them I said I would do it myself and when I got there they had six plugs in a box ngk and champion six plugs in all I only have a 4 cylinder car I don't know where the extra plugs came from. After the head gasket was changed amazingly my detergent stopped, my engine didn't make oil and the antifreeze stayed in the rad lol. What a coincidense.cant believe that they are able to do this I love my car but the problems that im having and lack of service and lies on behalf of the staff I will never buy a hyundai again. P.s. Getting a new car.

Bcm (body control module) defective on my 2003 hyundai tiburon. Airbag warning light stays on so don't know if it will deploy in a crash. Door locks don't work. Cruise control doesn't work. Left blinker stays on unless disconnected (police gave me a warning regarding this) many others reported similar problems online. All seem to be due to a defective body control module which costs $700 just for the part. There should be a recall on the bcm since so many others have similar issues! Especially worry about airbag not deploying in an accident.
