The radio in my 2000 tib has only 2 lighted buttons & is very dangerous because you cannot see to shut it off or change channels or anything had heard that there was a recall about this but can't find it.
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.
Headlights seem to continually burnout, all of my tires went bad (one blew up) at the same time. I am scared to drive my care until i have new tires put on.(dot number: 395vb68349tiresize: p195/55r15)

Fuel tank shut-off problem.unable to refuel car more than .5 gallon before shut-off valve closes.problem started slowly and sporadically over 5-year period, and progressed to full-time.also unable to determine when/if car is fully refueled, 100% of time when adding fuel. Eventually, tank becomes overfilled and gas is spilled nearly 100% of time.online forums document literally hundreds of similar issues among other owners. Hyundai dealership acknowledges problem, however no recalls have been issued.
I have issues with my car and the gas tank, charcoal canister and valves. I have had to pay over 1,000.00 to have these fixed twice. I have been getting very sick driving my car and do not feel that it is safe to drive. The fumes come into my car and are very heavy, especially in the heat. I am very concerned for my health and my safety and have almost gone to the hospital. I have had to go on steroids and breathing medications for the issues. I have seen similar complaints by multiple people in regards to the same problems. I would like some help with this and have found that the valve is defective and will often get stuck. Please look into this. Thank you.[xxx]..updated 05/07/15 updated 05/26/15information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I can not get anyone to care about this seatbelt problem...very dangerous and now i just have to just leave them off for they get twisted so bad you spend longer and longer time to untwist..sick of it and plan to trade my car.
Driver's seatbelt does not retract after it's buckled most of the time. Dealer has replaced driver's seat belt, with the same type.the consumer stated that the new seat belt does not work.
Driver's and passenger's seat belts became tangled, and would not release fromretracting mechanism, once belts are hooked, they do not retract to a snug position.
Seatbelts get twisted every time, won't retract or pull out without a fight, or won't tighten after finally getting latched.this also is true for the passenger side.
While at a stop vehicle was rear ended. This caused the driver's seat to recline backwards.consumer suffered whiplash.
