tHE HIGH BEAMS DOESNT WORK. INSIDE THE CAR IT SHOWS THE BLUE LOGO LIKE IF THE LIGHTS ARE IN HIGHBEAMS BUT OUTSIDE IT DOESN;T CHANGE. THE LOW BEAMS ARE NOT EFFECTIVE AND I CAN HARDLY SEE AT NIGHT.

I CAN NOT SEE ANYTHING AT NIGHT RESULTING IN THE INABILITY TO USE MY CAR AT NIGHT.

I am unable to use the high beams. Low beams are very hard to see with making risky when driving at night. No warning lights. I have a service call to dealer. It is available for inspection. No known maintenance issues prior to event.

The mechanism that exposes the bright part of the head light bulb goes out on this make model vehicle it is a common issue. There is one bulb, only my dim lights work, when I click the bright lights on nothing happens. Very common issue with the vehicle. Nearly 500$ a piece to repair.

I was going 40MPH when my car started to produce loud noises and stalled. It immediately lost power and I had to pull over on the side of the road. It started back up after 30 minutes and I was able to drive it home, but it continued to make loud noises and I had to drive very slow. Battery is good with 70% charge and the alternator is good.

The electrical plate for the right daytime running light must have fallen out of the engine compartment, according to the dealer service center, because it was no longer there. A warning light appeared on the dashboard system as a yellow triangle enclosing a yellow exclamation mark. It presented a safety issue by causing the warning light to appear on the dashboard panel while the vehicle was being driven. The dealer service center informed me of the cause of the dashboard warning light when I took it to them for diagnosis. There were no warnings prior to the failure.

When Daylight Savings time changed, I realized that my headlights were not aimed properly. While having them aimed, the tech noticed that the aiming rod had fallen off the track, and the light on the drivers side is shining only five feet from the car, onto the ground, whether on high beams or low beams.

High beams quit working I. Weather conditions and now high beams don-??t work period and have to replace head light do to problem with assembly driver side and passenger side high beams don-??t work

The high beam does not work even after bulb replacement on the 2019 Elantra(the low beams work just fine). A sound of an actuator trying to work is heard coming from the engine with a slight flicker of light but no successful high beam is shown after engaging the high beam actuator on the wheel. This is detrimental to the safety of drivers at night which could lead to a crash, injury, or fatality.

The high beam nolonger functions. On this make model for this year, the manufacturer uses only one bulb for low and high beam. This is accomplished by using a hood to shield part of the bulb; lowered for low beams, raised for high beams. The problem is the mechanism used to raise and lower the shield is made out of cheap plastic. Whenever the gears break or skip a cog the shield will not raise. Spending 2 labor shop hours to replace two shield mechanisms, cheap plastic parts with cheap plastic parts is not the answer. Multiple owners have ask Hyundai to find a better fix-?? all for not.

The high beam headlights don-??t function properly. The low beam is all that works on both headlights. Something to do with the way the shield is not moving up to allow the high beams to function. On line looks like this is a common problem
- Corpus Christi , TX, USA
High beams are not working on both headlight assemblies. Car uses a bulb with 1 filament and actuator to simulate a high beam and both headlight assembly actuators failed on a car with 51k miles. Hyundai has a TSB for this issue, so they are aware of this issue and this needs to be a recall, not just a TSB as this is a major safety issue.
- Apopka, FL, USA
My high beam lights stopped working. Replaced bulbs and they still don-??t work.
- Tuscaloosa, AL, USA
When I was driving in very dark areas I was trying to turn on my high beams. I have manual headlights so I have to push the lever back. I see the high beam logo on the dashboard, but no lights appearing higher than the low beams. I searched up that it-??s a common recall for the 2019 Hyundai Elantra-??s and I believe I have that problem with my car. I hope that this description helps out in making the decision as soon as possible. Thank you!

Trouble code:P0011 Mechanic replaced timing soliend. On driving car home, the engine began shutting down. Took back to mechanic who stated he could not get the engine to repeat trouble. Continue to drive and see what happens. Continued to drive but engine shut down got continuously worse and there is a sound like a fan blade is knocking against something (best way I can describe the noise)which is intermittent. Headlights are very dim. This was noticed late last year. It got so bad that I started to Google it and found there are other companies about this online including that the high beams don't work at all.
