The contact owns a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon. The contact stated that the plastic cover on the headlights was hazed over which prevents them from shining bright. The turn signals have also failed. The dealer was called and stated the warranty has expired; therefore, the contact will be responsible for the estimated repair cost of $1,000 to replace the headlight assembly and the computer for the turn signals. There were no related recalls. The failure mileage was 156,000.
Ever since I have purchased the car, the left turn signal has stayed on, even when the car is off, and the key is removed. It never turns off. I've done research, and it is a faulty "body control module", and everywhere I turn, people are having this problem. The part is anywhere above $600 to replace, and shouldn't just go faulty on thousands of cars, it is an extreme safety risk.
