2003 Hyundai Tiburon Exterior lighting Problems

“I drove the vehicle to a football game, upon returning to the vehicle after the game the low beams were not coming on. I drove home with my high beams on. The next day I took the vehicle to my mechanic. He immediately removed my bcm (body control module). He showed me the unit and it had melted approximately 1/8 of the panel. He told me had he have left it in the car a fire would more than likely have started.”

“Ever since I have purchased the car, the left turn signal has stayed on, even when the car is off, and the key is removed. It never turns off. I've done research, and it is a faulty body control module , and everywhere I turn, people are having this problem. The part is anywhere above $600.00 to replace, and shouldn't just go faulty on thousands of cars, it is an extreme safety risk.”

“The right hand turn signal on my 2003 Hyundai tubiron turns on by its self and it can not be shut off. I had several close calls with cars that thought I was turning and pulled out in front of me. I reported this to Hyundai corporate customer service department. Their solution was to remove the fuse and now I do not have any turn signals or hazard flashers. After doing some research there are alot of people having the same issue with this model. I believe this is a major safety issue.”

“We just bought our son his first car. We found the 2003 Tiburon locally, so we checked it out. Everything worked as expected and drove very nice. After about 3 months, the turn signals and hazard lights stopped working!! No fuse to change, but were told it was a failed bcm module. As I was looking into it further, I found the repair cost to be close to $1,000!! I am outraged that there is no recall on this as it is a safety issue, and a true hazard to the driver, passengers, pedestrians, and all others who share our roadways.”

“While driving at night and after a right hand turn the right turn signal stayed illuminated both front and rear. After I parked the car at destination and turned off the ignition and removed the key the turn signal light stayed on.I changed the bulbs and the fuse which did not fix the problem. After looking up on the internet for known Tiburon issues, I found several instances of the identical issue for the 2003 Tiburon. The problem is a relay in the bcm and coincidentally the issue happens at around 65- 80000 miles. The cost of the bcm is approximately $400 without labor.”
