Hyundai Sonata Exterior Lighting Safety Report | Feb 15, 2013
Reported on Feb 15, 2013
| LEFT DRIVER'S SIDE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY POPPED OUT. IT APPEARS THAT THE BOLT MOUNTS HAVE BROKEN DUE TO A DEFECT. I AM ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUNK RELEASING WITHOUT INTENTIONALLY OPENING. SEVERAL TIMES, I HAVE FOUND THE TRUNK OPEN IN THE MORNING OR WHEN I RETURN TO THE CAR AFTER WORK, OR SHOPPING. HYUNDAI SERVICE SAYS THAT I ACCIDENTALLY PUSH THE RELEASE BUTTON SOMEHOW. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AS I PURPOSELY PLACE THE KEY FOB WHERE IT CANNOT BE ACTIVATED AND STILL HAVE THAT PROBLEM. ALSO, THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT SUFFICIENT. THE ONLY CAST A BEAM ABOUT 50 FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WITH A DISTINCT LINE OF LIGHT ABOUT 5 FEET ABOVE THE ROAD. WHILE THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM ON STRAIGHT ROADS, IT IS A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING ON HILLY ROADS. *TR | |
