I am tired of replacing the dim light bulbs. This is definitely a defect and the dealer will not honor it as such. I had to drive 10 hours during evening hours with no dim lights in the rain. I was terrified. I could have caused a serious accident. There needs to be a recall on this

My seatbelts get twisted or won't extract or retract 99 out of 100 times. I have had my headlights burnout numerous times and keep having to replace them. They need to be replaced every 2-3 months and it is at my expense as the dealer states it isn't covered under my warranty. One usually blows and then a week later the other side follows, this only happens with my low beams. I will turn my ac on and it will either run hot or if it runs cold at all it only stays cold for a few minutes. The dealer stated it wasn't covered under warranty and wouldn't even look at it. I have had my front driver's side tire lose air and blow out the first time about 3 times now. I have had to replace the tire each time and have bought different manufacturers. The dealer stated it may have something to do with the car. My pwr windows and pwr door locks on the drivers side has had to be replaced a couple of times and still doesn't work. My pwr locks never work and occassionally my pwr windows will. As for the battery portion, the dealer stated it could be the battery combined with other things. My car will all of a sudden not start and I have to have it towed to a dealer. They will hook a computer up to it and seem to get confusing results. They have had to contact the Hyundai corporation numerous times to solve the problem. It has occured several times though so it still hasn't been fixed.

I have had to replace my headlights, on both sides, 3 times now in the last 5 months. The dealer tells me this is normal, but it's not acceptable to pay so much money for a car that is going to need headlights replaced every 2 months. There should be a replacement part offered at least. This is not acceptable.
