Sonata

I have a 2007 Hyundai Sonata, I have had trouble with darkness in front of the left side head light. I contacted Hyundai and they stated there isn't any problem. I referred to your campaign #08E021000. Hyundai stated my car was not involved. I explained that I felt it was a major safety issue but they refused to resolve the issue. My daughter has a 2007 Kia with the same problem and she is unable to get help with their problem also. I understand these cars use the same headlight configuration. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Sonata. The headlights are not projecting a sufficient amount of light onto the road at night. The failure occurs at any speed. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer on three occasions. The first time, the dealer attempted to raise the headlights, but this did not correct the failure. Instead, it only blinded oncoming drivers in the opposite lanes. The second time, the dealer switched the headlights with another vehicle of the same year, make, and model, however, the failure recurred. The third time, the dealer wanted to raise the headlights again, but the contact refused. He called the district office in New Jersey and was informed that nothing could be done. The failure mileage was 782 and current mileage was 3,800. *updated 12/12/07
