EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS DIMMING AND GOING OUT INTERMITTENTLY THAT CAN CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, HEADLIGHTS DIM AND DO OUT FOR SECONDS. I ALMOST HIT A GUARD RAIL ON A CURVE ON THE HIGHWAY. ONE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME DIMMING WAS NORMAL, ANOTHER SAID I NEED A BATTERY CABLE HARNESS. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER SAID THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. CLEARLY THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO SEE IF THERE ARE MORE PROBLEMS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTED. IT APPEARS THAT THERE WERE SOME RECALLS DUE TO HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS BUT NO MAILINGS WENT OUT. CAN YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM? *TR

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY, STRUCTURE
WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY,THE GLASS OF MY SUNROOF 'EXPLODED SPONTANEOUSLY". THE TIME OF INCIDENT WAS 6:15 AM, THE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 45 DEGREES AND NO ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. I WAS TRAVELING UNDER NO OVERPASSES, AND NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. I NOTICE NO OBJECT STRIKING MY CAR, MY PASSENGER AND I HEARD A NOISE LIKE A GUN SHOT. I HAD THE SUN SHADE CLOSED,SO NO GLASS ENTERED INTERIOR OF CAR, ABOUT 80% OF THE SUNROOF BLEW OUT LEAVING GLASS AROUND RIM INTACT AND THE BLOWN GLASS CAUSING DAMAGE TO TOP AND TRUNK. OTHER DRIVER BEHIND ME WERE BLOWING THEIR HORN TO TELL ME IT HAPPEN PLUS I COULD HEAR WIND, I STOP AND LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE THE REMAINING GLASS HAD A UPWARD BLOWN OUT APPEARANCE WITH NO GLASS LEFT ON SUN SHADE. I KNOW THIS IS TEMPERED GLASS WHICH BREAKS INTO TINY PIECES. IT WAS GOOD I HAD THE SUN ROOFS CLOSED OR I MIGHT HAVE HAD FLYING GLASS IN EYES CAUSING A ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THIS WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IF A ROCK HAD HIT IT THE GLASS WOULD HAD FELL INWARD NOT OUT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, INTERIOR LIGHTING
2006 HYUNDAI AZERA LIMITED - I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE HEAD LIGHTS AND DASH BOARD LIGHTS DIMMING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY FOR ABOUT ONE YEAR NOW. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN IF YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60+ MPH. I'VE BROUGHT MY CAR INTO 3 DEALERSHIPS. THE 1ST DEALER SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY HARNESS WHICH THEY CHANGED AND DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO WANTED TO SELL ME A NEW BATTERY. THE 2ND ONE SAID THEY'LL NEVER FIND THE PROBLEM AND SAVE MY MONEY AND TAKE MY WIFE OUT TO LUNCH OR TRADE THE CAR IN, AND THE 3RD DEALER SAID THEY HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND FIXED IT ONCE BUT CAN'T REMEMBER HOW. THE PROBLEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HYUNDAI SHOULD FIND A FIX. *TR

IT HAPPENS EVERY TWO OR THREE TIMES WHEN I DROVE THE CAR. 3. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRACK WAS REPLACED. BUT, THE CAR STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. AND, I'M WAITING FOR ANOTHER PART (NOT SURE WHICH PART) TO REPLACE. *TR
