NHTSA complaint #10713426, filed 2015-04, 80,000 miles“My seatbelts get twisted or won't extract or retract 99 out of 100 times. I have had my headlights burnout numerous times and keep having to replace them. They need to be replaced every 2-3 months and it is at my expense as the dealer states it isn't covered under my warranty. One usually blows and then a week later the other side follows, this only happens with my low beams. I will turn my AC on and it will either run hot or if it runs cold at all it only stays cold for a few minutes. The dealer stated it wasn't covered under warranty and wouldn't even look at it. …”
NHTSA complaint #764339, filed 2002-07“Nar 06/27/2003 headlamp bulbs blew out on vehicle. The consumer had to replaced the head lamp bulbs six times. The consumer believed there was a defect causing such frequent bulb burning, but the dealer denies any problems with the parts or electrical system. The consumer is frustrated and felt that Hyundai should repair and replace the head lights at no charge because of consistent failures. Please forward comments and assist in matter stated.”
