Vehicle headlights turn off / on while driving.
I was driving 60 miles an hour on 15 s 930 am in the fast lane. Ok had a 3/4thba tank of gas when my car shook and then the speed declined rapidly. I put my hazards on and moved over basically glided to the side of the road. The car was dead. Lights and radio worked but nothing else. I had it towed to Hyundai hendersen. 4 recalls on the engine and it could have killed me if a car was behind me.
I and many others have had to replace rear brake bulbs, and rear running lights consecutively over the past 7 months and they burn out to quickly and are a serious fire hazard. This needs to be considered as a recall because of the hazard with of the harness burning. Fix it!.

Since owning this car I have replaced the head lamps about ever 2-6 months. The next issue that is worse than the head lamps is the tail lamps. When the tail lamps burn out they melt into the housing so you can not just change the bulb you have to change the entire wiring harness. This first happened on the drivers side and now on the passenger side. Called the dealer and they have no wiring harnesses in the state closest one is in ohio.
Break lighting assembly and wiring harness melts during normal operation. Unable to replace bulbs because lighting assembly melts to the socket or the socket melts over the bulb metal base. This causes break lights to fail without the owner knowing. Which could result in accident due to no break lights also the traction control system can be effected by this short by shorting out the break light relay.
The back lights are going out extremely to often. I have to change them out at least once a month and when changing them I notice that the bulb is black, almost like they are burning out. When I replace on side, a week or two later I have to change the other side. It seems to be a wiring issue.
The steering wheel keeps clicking when you turn it and hitting bumps in the road. Cause it to jam an be in safe.
Fire hazard rear tail lap assemble, bulb burns through plastic housing.
The interior/exterior lights flash off and on when driving. I have the lights set for automatic-I am traveling both highway and city streets.
My brakes lights stopped working in mid air. This can pose a danger to other drivers who are riding behind me with my vehicle having no brake indication. This happened in my 2009 santa fe and had multiple rear ends. This is a big concern for myself and my families safety as well as other.
Bulbs will blow within 3-4 weeks after installing them.
Headlamps and taillights continues to go out been up to the dealership over 7x this year.
When I go to switch lanes while driving the longer light turns on and the dashboard illuminates. It looks like its having issues. It has happened more than once. And I decided to report it because I was in back of a police car today and it was embarrasinf he asked me what was wrong. And its a new car. Bought it from carmax.
When I turn the left turning signal on, the front lights flickers and switch between high and low beams. Sometimes they turn off. Also the interior dash lights flickers and turn brighter. I also have to replace front and back light bulbs 3 or 4 times in less than a year. I went online and these problems seemed to be a recurrent complain.
