general problems of the 2016 Hyundai Genesis

When headlights are in auto mode, use of the turn signal can result in the headlights flickering or shutting off completely. This is not the result of hitting the light mode switch but rather an electrical short occurring in the stalk. The problem is particularly dangerous at night when signaling for an upcoming turn and loss of all vehicle lighting occurs. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealer. The component has not been inspected by officials. Initial occurrence was winter of 2022 with increasing frequency since then.

This has happened a few times the first time I was driving and the headlights flicked on and off on the dash it showed it switched from auto to off by its self it has done that a few times. The time that I was driving on the highway and the lights when out during the night I was driving 65mph over a pass with no warning I had to turn them on because they did not come back on by them self. I contacted the Hyundai dealership they told me there was a TSB for it but the problem would have to happen while they are driving it so they could fix it under warranty. This is a huge safety risk because they note "certain vehicles may exhibit intermittent headlight flickering while driving with the light switch on auto light mode" in there TSB and it says " intermittent" witch means "not happening regularly or continuously" so it doesn't happen they wont cover it under warranty. And it happens at random times witch causes a safety risk because if the light out it can cause a fatal accident. I contacted Hyundai about this my self and they told me the same thing that the dealer has to have it happen to them or its not covered. Please look into this it needs to be recalled TSB 20-be-009h-1.

Use of the turn signal intermittently causes the headlights to turn off at night while in auto headlights mode switching to headlights on mode turns the lights back on.

I was driving at night on highway and tried to switch lanes. After I gave left signal and start changing lanes headlights turned off for several seconds. I almost panic and pushed the brake pedal. It was the multifunction switch which was going from auto mode to off.
