2007 Hyundai Veracruz Exterior lighting Problems

“Since the purchase of my vehicle in 2007, I have experienced a safety issue with the design of the headlight system of my 2007 Veracruz. The low beams have a horizontal cutoff and do not adequately illuminate signs, etc. At a medium to near distance. The high beams do not illuminate the roadway at all and are aimed way too high. The problem is the headlights are designed so that they cannot be aimed separately. Therefore, an attempt to lower the high beams will result in a lowering of the low beams which compounds the problem with the low beams and vice-versa. …”

“Vehicle continues to have the same problem to this day. During a turn (left or right) at night when the turn signal is activated the headlights go out. Only jiggling the turn signal stalk will restore the headlights. Problem also occurs during signaling for lane changes at highway speeds. Problem has been reported to the Hyundai dealership. No suggested action has been offered to date.”

“The 2007 Hyundai Veracruz high and low beam headlights cannot be independently adjusted and leave a dark gap between the lighted areas. The driver cannot see anything (traffic signs, road hazards, etc) in the gap.”

“We test drove a 2007 Veracruz and noticed a distinct horizontal line right in the field of vision especially on dark roads. The line separated bright headlight light below it and darkness above it. We were constantly trying to look below the line for a full view of light. The low beams did not appear to give enough upper light to light up road signs or the road ahead yet oncoming drivers constantly flashed their beams for us to lower our high beams which were not on. Turning on the high beams the light did nothing for the road and simply lit up the trees. …”

“Purchased a 2007 Hyundai Veracruz and upon first use of headlights, found same aimed low with no light beyond 100'. Use of high beam caused on-comming cars to flash high beams due to my high beams to high. Dealer was unable to correct problem and provided repair manual for my use. Same was not similer to adjustments on car. Finally adjusted low beams, but high beams are in the trees, providing at best a most dangerous lack of adequate light to drive. Dealer finally has stated that both high and low beams are linked and cannot be adjusted seperately. …”
