Santa Fe

  • 20,000 miles
The headlight lens housings (2) have deteriorated to the point that the headlights fail to properly light the road. This not a case of the housings yellowing but rather the housing material has developed fractures and is crumbling on the interior and exterior. There is no method to correct this fracturing. This manufacturing defect has been reported to the Hyundai dealer repeatedly over the last four years.
