2005 Hyundai Santa FE Exterior lighting Problems

“Bought vehicle used in october 2014. In less than 2 years have had to replace the front passenger side low beam halogen bulb 4 times. Have used the least expensive bulb to the most expensive bulb and all burn out with in a few months of installation. The first installation was done by a toyota dealership and the rest I installed. Also, the running lights in the same location (both white and amber) sometimes come on and sometimes I have to hit the outside to the lenses to get them to turn on. Do not know if this is relate to the low beam issue.”

“This has been a repeated problem for a long time. Early on I would have a brake lamp light that I would be told was out. We would take the light bulb out and reinsert and it would fix the problem. We assumed it jiggled loose. Then, at a later time, I would be told that the other brake light was out, and we would repeat the process and take it apart and it would amazingly start working again. Beginning in november 2014, taking the light apart no longer fixed it, so we checked and replaced fuses and lightbulbs, but it didn't fix it. …”

“When I apply the brake, it feels like the ABS on steroids kicks in, on dry pavement, (this was after I had new brakes installed) I ended up having two new sets of brakes installed. Had it to the dealership for the same issue after they put the 'factory brakes' installed for the same issue and they looked at me like I am crazy, so they greased what they could and said if it kept doing it to bring it back. This was oct 2017. It was good for a while and then started up in november and again in december about once a week. I bought a new 2018 elantra and gave the Santa Fe to my grandsons. …”

“The contact owns a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe. In november of 2008, the contact noticed that the turn signal indicators were not working while driving 40 MPH. She took the vehicle to the dealer three times and they replaced the turn signal fuse, but this did not correct the failure. A diagnostic was unable to locate the failure code. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The contact will notify the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 47,000 and current mileage was 50,700.”
