What owners wrote
I drove the vehicle to a football game, upon returning to the vehicle after the game the low beams were not coming on. I drove home with my high beams on. The next day I took the vehicle to my mechanic. He immediately removed my bcm (body control module). He showed me the unit and it had melted approximately 1/8 of the panel. He told me had he have left it in the car a fire would more than likely have started.
The right hand turn signal on my 2003 hyundai tubiron turns on by its self and it can not be shut off. I had several close calls with cars that thought I was turning and pulled out in front of me. I reported this to hyundai corporate customer service department. Their solution was to remove the fuse and now I do not have any turn signals or hazard flashers. After doing some research there are alot of people having the same issue with this model. I believe this is a major safety issue.
