Five problems related to headlights have been reported for the 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2017 Hyundai Tucson based on all problems reported for the 2017 Tucson.
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that an independent mechanic had previously replaced the driver's and passenger's side rear brake light bulbs; however, the failure recurred with the passenger's side headlight burning out quickly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the passenger's side headlight assembly needed to be replaced due to faulty wiring. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 101,000.
The visibility at night is impaired due to the hid headlights. In researching the issue, I see where there are several other complaints on the same thing. This is a dangerous situation to be driving at night with limited visibility. Adjusting the headlights do not seem to be an improvement. The other night, my lights went completely dark while driving. This definitely deserves a notification/recall to the owners of these vehicles before there is a deadly accident. Please do the responsible thing in order to prevent impairing or losing a life.
Headlights project a weird dark shadow on both sides and it makes it very difficult to see in front of me just off center on both sides. This is a very dangerous situation to not feel safe enough to see the road ahead of me.
All Hyundai limited model trims have poor bulb housings for their headlights. There is a notch in the housing that covers the top part of the bulb and casts a large shadow in front of the vehicle, making driving at night a serious safety problem. I've already contacted the dealer and was told it was a known problem and that Hyundai has yet to do anything about it. I've attached two photos showing the shadow/notch on each headlight. Keep in mind my vehicle has only 295 miles, and I just bought it a couple days ago. My wife is afraid to drive at night because she's afraid she won't be able to see something in front of her. There needs to be an investigation launched because it's only a matter of time until a serious injury is caused as a result of poor lighting and negligence on part of the auto manufacturer.
The headlight system in this vehicle at low and high beam casts a shadow about 100 feet in front. This causes a severe blind spot in front of the driver. In rainy weather it is doubly hard to see what issues face the driver. In fact I almost hit someone walking on the side of the road in rainy weather because they were not visible until they were inside the 100 feet. The lighting system must be replaced as the dealer has advised there is no adjustments they can make to overcome this issue. There have been many complaints to the dealer about it according to him.
