“While driving at night, for the first time since buying our Hyundai Azera, I was horrified to find the headlights were barely visible and pointing at the ground. I had to drive with the bright lights on. Even after the dealer adjusted them we continue to have to use the bright lights for safe driving.

This seems like a serious flaw for night driving. …”

The sound concerned me so I pulled over and looked at my braking assembly on the driver's side front wheel. I didn't see a loose caliper or anything out of the ordinary so I limped to where I was going. When I arrived at a family members house, I removed the front driver's side wheel and was shocked at what I saw. The upper control arm had snapped in two at the ball joint. …”
