Blow up headlights bulbs and taillights bulb
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that an independent mechanic had previously replaced the driver's and passenger's side rear brake light bulbs; however, the failure recurred with the passenger's side headlight burning out quickly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the passenger's side headlight assembly needed to be replaced due to faulty wiring. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 101,000.
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would suddenly lose motive power and would not immediately accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. Additionally, the vehicle would not exceed 60 MPH while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who indicated that no failure was found. The contact was informed that the vehicle operated as designed. The contact also stated that while operating the vehicle, the brake lights remained illuminated at all times. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced a sensor and the failure was remedied. No further information was available. The failure mileage was 68,000.
Drivers seat, seat belt at the lap tightens while driving to the point it is brusing hip bones. Even if someone loosens it, the seat belt automatically tightens up to the point it is dangerous in a collision because it can cause internal injuries or more severe injuries. The seat belt design is flawed in that it pulls extra belt from only from the top, so the bottom of the lap belt is fixed and that part is getting too tight and cannot be consistently comfortable or loose enough that it does not bruise or cause injuries to hips and laps. The issue has been ongoing and a major concern. I have contacted Hyundai who said it may or may not be under warranty but expected for me to pay for a visit to the shop to find out when this is a safety issue. Secondly the headlight system keeps failing. What I mean is the left driveres low beam/regular headlight continually burns out despite replacement with new bulbs. The passenger side lo beam/ regular headlight burned out recently and when replaced with the correct light bulb the regular setting for headlights no longer adequately lights the road despite bulbs being installed correctly and exactly as instructed. The lights now face down and are very low. We have changed out the bulbs with different brands and have found the same issue so it has to be an issue with the headlights themselves.
I have to replace the light bulbs every couple of months, the back holder had to be replaced was melted , I believe this is a defect. How do things melt for no reason. Ive spent about 300 to 400. On light bulbs. Just replaced pigtail on the front low beam light. Crazy its pain to have to keep replacing bulbs. Just did this 3/15/21
This is the 5th time. Rear brake light blew out on driver side this time.set another appointment for 12-06-2019
The rear brake light socket burned. In addition, the brake light was installed improperly making it extremely difficult to remove.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 hyundai tucson. When the contact depressed the brake pedal, the exterior brake lights failed to illuminate. The failure occurred intermittently and the brake warning indicator illuminated. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 38,000.
The headlight system in this vehicle at low and high beam casts a shadow about 100 feet in front. This causes a severe blind spot in front of the driver. In rainy weather it is doubly hard to see what issues face the driver. In fact I almost hit someone walking on the side of the road in rainy weather because they were not visible until they were inside the 100 feet. The lighting system must be replaced as the dealer has advised there is no adjustments they can make to overcome this issue. There have been many complaints to the dealer about it according to him.
