While driving at night, for the first time since buying our Hyundai Azera, I was horrified to find the headlights were barely visible and pointing at the ground. I had to drive with the bright lights on. Even after the dealer adjusted them we continue to have to use the bright lights for safe driving. It appears the inside of the lens covers, in front of the regular bulbs, are severely scratched or cloudy so the lights can't illuminate the roads! this seems like a serious flaw for night driving. We are often on two lane roads that are hilly and curvy, with the occasional dear crossing in front of us, as well as oncoming cars. If we dim our lights for them, we literally can't see the road in front of us, and practically have to stop until the oncoming car goes by. We inquired, and were told the entire headlight unit will have to be replaced and is very expensive. Both sides are bad. Please help! there is also a strange noise from under the car, a squeak and low thumping sound when on the interstate. We hadn't even made our first car payment when we became aware of these issues. Then the check engine light came on and we had to have the firewall side converter and top 2 sensors replaced at the hefty price of $815. 95.

Headlights dimming and going out intermittently that can cause a fatal accident. While driving at any speed, headlights dim and do out for seconds. I almost hit a guard rail on a curve on the highway. One dealership told me dimming was normal, another said I need a battery cable harness. This appears to be an electrical problem and the manufacturer said that the headlights are out of warranty. Clearly this is something that should be investigated to see if there are more problems that have not been reported. It appears that there were some recalls due to headlight problems but no mailings went out. Can you please investigate this problem?.

I have had a problem with the headlights dimming on my 2006 Hyundai Azera. This happens at night when you let your foot off of the accelerator. The rpms drop to below 1,000 for a second, and then they rebound to normal on the tachometer. You think that the motor is going to stop, but it doesn't. This decrease in motor revolutions per minute causes a drop in the electricity being produced by the alternator, which causes the lights to dim. The car is about 4 years old and has been doing this for the last 2 years. The dealer has not been able to duplicate this problem.

I own a 2006 Azera bought new in February 2006 and have had minor problems such as left beam blockage due to the way the left headlight is created according to Hyundai. I now have a problem that just started 2 months ago when I had yet another headlight replaced. My headlights (low beams) dim for a second or two and this happens every 20 - 30 seconds. It is most noticeable when you have your fog lights on but also noticeable without them. Along with this dimming the heater fan also sounds to lose some power. I tried to duplicate this issue by sitting in my driveway with the car running and lights on many times for 30 minutes and more but this does not happen unless the car is in gear and moving. I have had the dealer check this issue but they say they cannot locate any voltage drop or see the problem. I of course asked them to verify this at night but they insisted to try to see this during the day. This is a definite hazard to the life of the passengers in the vehicle and pedestrians who might be walking or riding bikes at night. I have come close to hitting a person in black clothes at night while they were walking as my lights dimmed and for an instant I was unable to see them. This problem should be addressed before someone gets killed.

2006 Hyundai Azera limited I just purchased has a headlight problem. The headlights go out at any time for two to three seconds, then come back on. Usually this occurs when coming to a stop, but not always. Maybe this is the reason the previous owner sold the car. We called the local dealer and were told it was a problem they haven't found a solution to yet, and the dealer at three other Azera owners with the same problem. The dealer said there is a voltage drop in the charging system, and it is more noticeable at night when the headlights are on. I have noticed the voltage drop during the day also by seeing the speedometer lights dim. This is so annoying, and is a safety issue. Could even become a problem of road rage if my headlights flash on and off at an irate driver in front of me. I can't believe there is no solution!.

While driving at night the headlights dim drasticly while the car is downshifting while slowing to a stop. Each time the car downshifts the lights dim. I have taken it in multiple times to the dealership and even shown them the TSB pertaining to this issue and they have yet to fix this issue. Every time I take it in to the dealership there is some excuse why it is happening and it generally centers around supposed corrosion on the battery terminals or I need my battery replaced. After cleaning terminals, replacing battery, and whatever else they suggested, the headlights still dim. They refuse to do the fix as described in the TSB and say that everything checks out fine and there is no need to replace anything, except the battery which didn't fix the problem. The first time I brought this up was in 2008 and multiple time per year since with no resolution. It keeps getting worse every year with the amount of strain on the system and aging of the vehicle. I fear that something or someone is going to dart out in front of me when this is happening and I won't be able to react in time since my headlights are not projecting their full distance when this happens.

I purchased a 2006 Hyundai Azera two years ago. I called to tell Hyundai USA that the driver side headlight low beam was not operating with a full field of light, it appears to have a shield over the top half of the light. This creates a sharp distinctive shadow and a very short field of light when driving in darkness and is not illuminating a safe amount of the road. I have talked to Hyundai USA and two different Hyundai dealers about it and the problem goes unacknowledged. They all say they have not heard of this problem although they do attempt to adjust it. They have all said that the light is pointed down to avoid blinding the oncoming traffic, but if the driver is not provided with enough light to see in front of him, he is virtually driving blind. This is a real driving hazard. I am now aware of the recall 08e-021 concerning the replacement lamps on Hyundai, but they are not addressing the headlights that are original to the car.

My 1006 Hyundai Azera has a dark shadow covering part of the left headlamp. In night driving, this results in limited vision on the left side of the road.
