What owners wrote

I recently bought my wife a 2013 hyundai santa fe sport 2.0t. After having the car for several days I noticed that it did not have daytime running lights. I checked the owners manual and it said that some models had them. The car I bought was the top of the line model so I felt that the car should have them. I called the dealer and they checked their inventory and said that this model does not have them. I thought that all cars had them. I consider this to be a serious safety issue. ## VIN failed

Have been noticing occasionally the front windshield wipers do not return to their "parked" position. They will occasionally stay too far up by 2 to 3 inches. When parked, they should be below the hood line tucked nicely to the wiper cowl. I have found on about 5 occasions since owning this car that the wipers are up as opposed to parked down correctly. The driver seat also rocked quite a bit when first purchased. Two of us drive the vehicle, neither of us are overweight at all.
