What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 hyundai santa fe. While driving approximately 30 MPH with the low beam headlights illuminated, the contact experienced extremely poor visibility. When the contact drove down a hill, she stated that the headlights provided limited view. The high beam headlights had to be illuminated in order to see the road clearly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The technician stated that the vehicle was designed to specification. The vehicle was not repaired.
Driver tail light assembly is collecting condensation in it, causing tail light bulbs to crack and blow out. Several youtube videos show fixes, so this is obviously an issue.
