Filed: Jun 2022

Drivers seat, seat belt at the lap tightens while driving to the point it is brusing hip bones. Even if someone loosens it, the seat belt automatically tightens up to the point it is dangerous in a collision because it can cause internal injuries or more severe injuries.

The visibility at night is impaired due to the hid headlights. In researching the issue, I see where there are several other complaints on the same thing. This is a dangerous situation to be driving at night with limited visibility.

All hyundai limited model trims have poor bulb housings for their headlights. There is a notch in the housing that covers the top part of the bulb and casts a large shadow in front of the vehicle, making driving at night a serious safety problem. I've already contacted the dealer and was told it was a known problem and that hyundai has yet to do anything about it.

The headlight system in this vehicle at low and high beam casts a shadow about 100 feet in front. This causes a severe blind spot in front of the driver. In rainy weather it is doubly hard to see what issues face the driver.

Headlights project a weird dark shadow on both sides and it makes it very difficult to see in front of me just off center on both sides. This is a very dangerous situation to not feel safe enough to see the road ahead of me
