Tiburon 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 72,500 miles
Ever since I have purchased the car, the left turn signal has stayed on, even when the car is off, and the key is removed. It never turns off. I've done research, and it is a faulty "body control module", and everywhere I turn, people are having this problem. The part is anywhere above $600 to replace, and shouldn't just go faulty on thousands of cars, it is an extreme safety risk.
