Consumer Description

When operating the headlights in auto dim mode and the headlights are bright, when I try to dim the headlights manually using the dimmer switch, the headlights go out completely. When operating the headlights with auto dim mode turned off and the headlights are bright, when I try to dim the headlights manually using the dimmer switch, the headlights will not dim. This places myself and oncoming traffic at risk by them either being blinded by the high beams when I'm unable to dim or me hitting them or another object when the lights go out completely when I try to dim them. I reported this to the local dealer who mentioned similar issues on model years prior to mine which were sold under the Hyundai Genesis branding. I will note that the Hyundai Genesis model and my Genesis G80 model use the same platform.....the cars are identical except for the branding. The Hyundai Genesis model referenced had a recall for this issue, so I don't understand why the same recall hasn't been issued for the Genesis G80 model, which is having the same safety issues.
