problem #2

Headlights project bright light about 20-30 feet out only up to about hood level then cut off in a straight line completely dark above that area and to the side. Two black out spots in line of vision make it impossible to see well enough to drive safely in the dark. After much online research have discovered Hyundai claims this is not a defect and needs no remedy. So very sad to see tons of complaints about this over the past couple years but not a single consumer rating recognizes this in any review. Has no one driven this car after dark until purchasing - which is too late. Extremely dangerous!

The low beam headlights illuminate an area up to about 1 telephone pole in front of the vehicle (approximately 100 feet). When driving at normal highway speeds at night, I cannot see far enough ahead to operate the vehicle safely. It is only when the auto high beams turn on that the road ahead is sufficiently illuminated. I contacted the dealer who checked out the headlights and was told that everything was according to Hyundai specifications.
