Exterior Lighting · reported Nov 2, 2026
The system is sold as a mandatory dealer installed option by Weisner Hyundai as a system that flashes lights at vehicles before they rear end you.

To regain throttle response, the driver is forced to execute an emergency lane merge to the highway shoulder, turn the ignition completely off to clear the system, and restart the motor. The vehicle simultaneously exhibits an progressive powertrain…

On October 2026, 2026, when driving under normal conditions and making a routine turn signal (driving slowly and signaling while coming to a stop sign), the turn signal lever fell off of the steering column into my hand. I immediately drove to my local dealership and was told no one could assist me that day, so I scheduled the next available appointment which was the following morning. The broken turn signal lever was repaired by the dealership and seems to be working well after repair. I purchased this vehicle, a certified pre-owned 2024 Hyundai Tucson hybrid, 6 months ago. I have driven…
