2008 Hyundai Veracruz Exterior lighting Problems

“I purchased a 2008 Hyundai Veracruz in 2014. I was taking a friend home and as I was pulling in all lights lit up and car just shuts off. I couldn't get the car to do anything. I had the car towed. My windshield wipers doesn't work, door handles are all broken, seat belts doesn't work, alternator has been change 3 times due to oil leakage,no radio, the RPM's goes up and down and trunk won't open.”

“High & low beam headlights can't be adjusted separately. My low beams are ok however the high beams shoot up way to high. (I could use them for bird hunting). I am a police officer there has to be something done about this problem. I noted that is already is a complain about the headlights with NHTSA. The dealership advised they can't adjust the high beams down or it will affect the low beam.”

“When I use my turn signal to signal lane changing, but do not snap it into position, my headlights will flicker on and off and will also turn off for several seconds. Additionally, I noticed during the day time that my dash board lights were brightening. I've reported the dashboard lights brightening on several occasions to the dealership while my car was in for service from 2009 to the present, but they weren't able to repeat the problem. Most recently, likely because I was driving at night, I noticed my headlights flickering on and off. …”

“On april 15, 2009, Hyundai notified NHTSA of it's intent to conduct a safety recall (NHTSA recall 09v122). My vehicle is encountering the same problems that are described in this recall, however the Hyundai dealer tells me that my vehicle is not included in the recall. My complaint is that Hyundai fails to recognize that this recall affects more vehicles than they are aware of, or are willing to admit to. The symptoms are exactly the same and the dealer diagnosed component failure is exactly the same, yet they are not willing to replace the component under the terms of the recall. …”

“The headlights flash off and back on when using the turn signals while the vehicle is moving. Very scary. Others have reported this problem with Hyundai vehicles. Solution seems to be replacing headlight switch (control stalk).”
