I like to report that this vehicle developed moisture inside the head lamps and it has inside a silver/ look like tent foil spread all over. At nigh we can’t see the road. We replaced the light 💡 and bought the most brighter once $109.@ and we still can’t see at night. It is a safety issue since we can see. I’m not the only one you have1000s of customers with the same issues but they have bought the part in Amazon’s. My problem about that is that they do not sale them for my car it said that is for Sonata. And that once you buy it you would have to get a built hule that fits. This is one of the comments on companies: 10:31 5G: 83 ' F FMac8413 V 1 post • Joined 2022 #1 • May 29, 2022 Well I inherited a 2013 Azera. Nothing but light things are useless I can’t see at night and the look bad. Would a 2011 sonata parts fit my 2013 Azera? It would have to be a matter of bolt holes being different because side by side these cars look identical! Anyway any serious input is greatly appreciated.

Good afternoon, my name is [XXX] . I purchased my 2009 Hyundai Azera limited edition in 2019 used with 98385 miles after I had the car for 9mths the car stopped running and the company I purchased the car from uses a repair company called Silver Rock which maintained the car I was told a belt popped after receiving the car back 2 days later the engine blow. They replaced the engine and from there The check engine light stayed on the Diagnostics check stated the O2 sensor needed attention repaired that light went off for a week after a week the check engine light returned had it checked again and the O2 sensor showed up again so I had someone else change them again light went off 2 days later the check engine Light appeared again but with ABS on ESC off TPMS on had another Diagnostics completed and it still shows O2 senors And ABS failure and to constantly replace the issue and it's not working properly afterward has a little upset. Now I saw that Hyundai has a recall on My 2009 Hyundai Azera for the ABS and the interior light which has stopped as well from my understanding but when I called to get help I was told my car is not a part of that recall which is confusing because I am very much having problems with those systems and from what I've read in the manual multiple chain reactions occur With an ABS stops. My car is now not allowing my keyfob to work, the drunk switch on the door and inside the clove box has stopped, and the release for the back seats is not responding I was never given a master key so I can't access the trunk, and the system will unlock the driver door but none of the others there is an issue where the main power box under the hood is not responding to fuse 3,4,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24 and the same issue is happening to my fuse connection on the inside of the car and when you turn the engine everything is in reverse meaning: door usually lock now the unlock, the AC comes on, the radio comes on, the back window curtain moves. This is unfair to m INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE BUYING OUR HYUNDAI AZERA, I WAS HORRIFIED TO FIND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE BARELY VISIBLE AND POINTING AT THE GROUND. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ON. EVEN AFTER THE DEALER ADJUSTED THEM WE CONTINUE TO HAVE TO USE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS FOR SAFE DRIVING. IT APPEARS THE INSIDE OF THE LENS COVERS, IN FRONT OF THE REGULAR BULBS, ARE SEVERELY SCRATCHED OR CLOUDY SO THE LIGHTS CAN'T ILLUMINATE THE ROADS! THIS SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS FLAW FOR NIGHT DRIVING. WE ARE OFTEN ON TWO LANE ROADS THAT ARE HILLY AND CURVY, WITH THE OCCASIONAL DEAR CROSSING IN FRONT OF US, AS WELL AS ONCOMING CARS. IF WE DIM OUR LIGHTS FOR THEM, WE LITERALLY CAN'T SEE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF US, AND PRACTICALLY HAVE TO STOP UNTIL THE ONCOMING CAR GOES BY. WE INQUIRED, AND WERE TOLD THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNIT WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE. BOTH SIDES ARE BAD. PLEASE HELP! THERE IS ALSO A STRANGE NOISE FROM UNDER THE CAR, A SQUEAK AND LOW THUMPING SOUND WHEN ON THE INTERSTATE. WE HADN'T EVEN MADE OUR FIRST CAR PAYMENT WHEN WE BECAME AWARE OF THESE ISSUES. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE HAD TO HAVE THE FIREWALL SIDE CONVERTER AND TOP 2 SENSORS REPLACED AT THE HEFTY PRICE OF $815.95.

VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHTS DIM WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE OFF. ALSO, HIGH MOUNTED CENTER BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE DURING BRAKING WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE OFF. THE CENTER BRAKE LIGHT BRIEFLY LIGHTS FOR A 1/2 SECOND, THEN SHUTS OFF. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS PARTICULARLY IN DAYTIME DRIVING, IF HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT ON FULL OR IN AUTOMATIC SETTING.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS DIM DRASTICALLY WHILE THE CAR IS DOWNSHIFTING WHILE SLOWING TO A STOP. EACH TIME THE CAR DOWNSHIFTS THE LIGHTS DIM. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EVEN SHOWN THEM THE TSB PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIX THIS ISSUE. EVERY TIME I TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THERE IS SOME EXCUSE WHY IT IS HAPPENING AND IT GENERALLY CENTERS AROUND SUPPOSED CORROSION ON THE BATTERY TERMINALS OR I NEED MY BATTERY REPLACED. AFTER CLEANING TERMINALS, REPLACING BATTERY, AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY SUGGESTED, THE HEADLIGHTS STILL DIM. THEY REFUSE TO DO THE FIX AS DESCRIBED IN THE TSB AND SAY THAT EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT FINE AND THERE IS NO NEED TO REPLACE ANYTHING, EXCEPT THE BATTERY WHICH DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT THIS UP WAS IN 2008 AND MULTIPLE TIME PER YEAR SINCE WITH NO RESOLUTION. IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE EVERY YEAR WITH THE AMOUNT OF STRAIN ON THE SYSTEM AND AGING OF THE VEHICLE. I FEAR THAT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IS GOING TO DART OUT IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO REACT IN TIME SINCE MY HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT PROJECTING THEIR FULL DISTANCE WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

I HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED WITH MY AZERA'S HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM SINCE IT WAS NEW! I MENTIONED IT TO MY DEALER'S SERVICE WRITER SOME TIME AFTER I NOTICED MANY OTHER OWNERS WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SUDDEN BLACK AREA VERY CLOSE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR! HE SEEMED IGNORANT OF THE COMPLAINT. I HAVE SINCE TRIED TO GET HOME BEFORE DARK AS MY HOME IS ON A WINDING PART OF HWY 101 ON THE OLYMPIC PENINSULA IN WASHINGTON. THE HEADLIGHT FIXTURE DEFINITELY SHOULD BE REPLACED!
NHTSA complaint #10452033 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
VISIBILITY IS GREATLY IMPAIRED WHEN USING LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. DISTINCT HORIZONTAL "SHADOW LINE" MAKES DRIVING DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS DUE TO LACK OF VISIBILITY. I HAVE ADJUSTED THE HEADLIGHTS UPWARD AS FAR AS I CAN SAFELY GO BUT, THIS DID NOT ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM. HYUNDAI CLAIMS EVERYTHING IS "NORMAL". I HAVE HAD TO LIMIT MY NIGHT DRIVING FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.
