  EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL

  I WAS FOLLOWING A HYUNDAI TIBURON AND WHEN THE REAR TURN SIGNAL CAME ON, I WAS NEARLY BLINDED BY THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHT, WHICH WAS A CLEAR BULB UNDER A CLEAR LENS. THIS CAR WAS FAIRLY NEW SO I DON'T BELIEVE THESE WERE REPLACEMENT BULBS. I SUSPECT THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS APPROVED WITH BULBS THAT HAD A YELLOW COATING AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS SUBSTITUTED CLEAR BULBS. COULD YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MODEL AND POSSIBLY OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS? THANK YOU.*AK

  STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)

  PURCHASED VEHICLE ON APRIL 25, 2005. VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL FOR STEERING: GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION). CONSEQUENCE WOULD PREVENT STEERING CONTROL OF THAT FRONT WHEEL BY THE SEPARATED TIE ROD WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. RECALL WAS ISSUED ON APRIL 8, 2005 AND OWNERS WERE TO BE CALLED AND INSTRUCTED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLES. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE.
