Headlight Switch problems of the 2015 Hyundai Genesis

While driving at night with lights in automatic mode, the headlights will turn off for a few seconds and the dash will indicate the lights mode has changed, before the lights will turn back on. This has occurred multiple times typically at night along rural highways but has occurred along lit streets as well. It has happened while simply driving along a straight stretch of road as well as when turning or switching from brights to dims. This safety hazard has fortunately not yet resulted in losing control of the vehicle due to lack of awareness regarding position on the road and could result in a serious accident. Date listed is the most recent time the incident occurred.

The headlight mode will sometimes change from auto to off and back to auto while driving (on city streets or on the highway), without input from the driver. This causes the headlights, taillights, and interior lights to momentarily switch off. I feel like this may be due to a loose electrical connection in the headlight mode on the left multifunction stalk, as the auto and off modes are adjacent to each other.

My headlights flicker off and on randomly while sitting still and driving, it shows on my instrument panel switching from auto mode and off randomly I looked up the problem on a couple forums and hundreds of people have had this problem please make this a recall before some hits a child or a car in the street cause the dealerships are not trying to work on it some people said by replacing the turn signal handle it fixed the problem but it needs to be a recall fix not a owner fix if this many people are having a problem ( I found as video on youtube which is the exact problem every one is having https://youtu.

When my headlights are in the "auto" position and I engage my turn signals my headlights will flicker and the lcd screen on my dash switches between "auto" and "drl off" which causes my lights to turn off for a couple seconds. This usually happens when I'm in motion and when the turning stalk is engaged, either fully or semi, or even sometimes when I just push up against the stalk without actually engaging the turn signal. This does not happen ever time, but it has happened on multiple occasions.

Headlights will go out without warning. This has now happened on 6 different occasions, 5 of which I was traveling on rural roads with no streetlights. During the day, the light diagram box which shows if your lights are in automatic, drl or manual mode cycles through. In addition, I am constantly replacing turn signal bulbs. This is a safety issue as it is extremely dangerous. I have contacted Hyundai over 60 times and they have expressed no interest in repairing the problem. They know that it is the multi function switch causing the issue. This has been acknowledged via the dealership's conversation with Hyundai. It's important to report this if your vehicle is affected, to highlight the frequency of this defect.

Multi-function headlight switch (control stalk) is defective and causes low-beam headlights to flash intermittently or turn off for a short period time (3-5 seconds) when using turn signal (right or left). This event occurs while car is moving, speed does not matter. Headlight flashing occurs at all speeds.

While headlamp switch is in auto position the headlights will randomly blink out or cycle through the lighting options after using the turn indicator. Most recently while our daughter was driving it cycled from auto --> driving lights-->on-->off 3 times within a block after signaling and making a left turn on a city street. Very disorienting and clearly a safety issue, particularly in rural areas where street lighting is minimal. Issue is impossible to duplicate due to its randomness so the dealer assumes there is no problem. They have stopped issuing paperwork on our visits for the problem so there is no recent paper trail. I believe there is a short in the turn signal level or turn signal module as the issue always occurs after the turn signal is used.

The auto diming feature on this vehicle could be a nice feature if it works properly as it would help blinding drivers on the opposite direction while keeping me safe as well. Here is the problem. While traveling on highway 93 from las vegas to phoenix az the high bean engaged due to very dark road condition. However the back red light of a vehicle one mile away causes the high bean to disengaged leaving me in the dark again. What is even worse is that a vehicle coming on the other side of the road (not on the same road I am driving on) I mean the other contrary side. Whenever, it sense any light at any distance visible to the naked eye, it will also disengage the high bean. This is totally unnecessary as the transit going on the other direction is not affected due to the large median between the 2 roads. My experience is on the route 93 so far las vegas to phoenix. This can simply be fixed by providing proper illumination while on low bean mode or regular condition at night time as they have done on the 2016 model. On Feb 20, 2016 around 8:30pm while driving on highway 93 from las vegas to phoenix az I lost front headlight illumination two times as I was trying to manually switch the low bean to high bean after the high bean had engaged due to the darkness and lack of enough illumination; then it disengaged after sensing either the rear read light of a vehicle one mile in front of me leaving me in the dark again. The other example is when another vehicle one mile away coming on the opposite direction but on the other side of the road and far away from my side due to the large median between road sides. Forcing me to stop and ending off the road and miraculously not going down the cliff. My family and my life is as important as the family of the incoming traffic drivers. Thank you, allinzon aponte.
