| Headlights problems |
The headlight assemblies on my 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe have faded over time from the sun. The sun has faded the light assemblies so much, the amount of light visible through the assembly is greatly reduced. I consider this a safety issue, due to the way the amount of light coming through the assembly is greatly reduced due to the fading of the plastic by the sun.
Nar 05/21/2003 with out notification the consumers purchased the vehicle branded as a lemon. Problems occurred with the transmission, air conditioner compressor, headlight dimmers, and electrical system was faulty. They're requesting the dealership to buy back the vehicle.
Alternator/battery problems: lights dim, windshield wiper delay changes speed, electric windows slow at times.
