So I bought this new fully equipped Hyundai Tucson 2015. Same day I got it I found the instrumentation had a really low light for to be clearly visible in regular daylight. In sunlight it is hardly visible, and sometimes not visible depending on the outside light. Sunglasses is not possible to use, but the car has a special place for sunglasses. I have been 2 times to the dealer (Hernandes Motores here in Chile) to resolve the problem, but all I get is "that's how the car is". I have also sent mails to Hyundai Worldwide, but they don't care to answer my mail. That is unbelievable irresponsible on there part, and I feel that it should be known worldwide.
Legally a car needs instrumentation these days, but it seems Hyundai do not care if that instrumentation is visible. No matter how many airbags, the driver needs to know what is going on for a safe ride.
Update from Jun 12, 2015: Now I know it's not just my car. The Hyundai vender in Valparaiso has the exactly same car (even color) in their showroom with the same faulty instrumentation. Hyundai online and printed information about there LCD TFT instrumentation is completely false. Every time I start my car, Hyundai makes me remember that never buy another Hyundai car again. Hyundai simply does not care about safety and complaints.
