| Headlights problems |
Front headlight lenses are cloudy and yellow to point where I can not see the insight of the lens. The light from the light bulb is greatly reduced to the point where I have difficulty seeing the street at night. I contacted Hyundai and they refused to correct the problem. I feel this is a serious safety defect that should be corrected by Hyundai at no cost to me. The car is only 7 years old.
: the contact stated both headlights were extremely cloudy making visibility very limited. The dealership was made aware of the problem. Updated 10/25/2006 - the dealer said they could buff the inside of both headlights, at cost to the consumer.
