2024 Hyundai Palisade Exterior lighting Problems

“I am writing to file a formal vehicle safety complaint regarding recurring, dangerous, and complete electrical system failures in my Hyundai Palisade. These failures have rendered the vehicle undriveable on multiple occasions, created a direct safety hazard for my family — including a young child — and have caused significant financial harm. The manufacturer's and dealership's failure to provide an adequate remedy. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this potential safety defect. Attached is my FORMAL CONSUMER COMPLAINT PACKET AGAINST HYUNDAI.”

“There is a defect in the headlights. As you can see from the attached picture, the right side projects light further up the road than the left side. The left side has a large triangular black-out region which blocks my view of the next lane. I took the vehicle to Phil Long Hyundai in Colorado Springs Colorado for warranty repair. They refused to drive the car at night because that was outside of their normal business hours. They adjusted the headlights “as high as they could go” according to their invoice. All that did was move the defect further up the road.”

“There is a serious flaw in the low beam headlight display for this vehicle. There are two large shadows directly in the light of sight. I rarely drive this vehicle at night and with the recent change away from daylight savings time, I drove it in the early evening and discovered the headlights created a huge shadow right in the sightline of the road with oncoming vehicles. It is especially worse when turning on a curve and whatever is in the road ahead is almost invisible. I took it to my local Hyundai Dealership on 23 Nov 24 and had them look at it. …”

“All the dash light are on, warning signs flash, steering get heavy, Speedo not working, Signal indicator not working on dash. Not safe. Dealer drove the car and checked everything, could not get the car to do it again. I picked the car up and within 13 miles the dash was lit up like a Christmas tree, lots of error messages, steering very heavy07/21/24. 14,500 miles on car”

“The low beam headlights have a very short range, followed a severe cutoff line. There is total darkness beyond the cutoff line. These headlights are dangerous, especially on curves,”
