There are 3 owner-reported lighting complaints for the 2020 Hyundai Venuein NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
THIS NEW CAR IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH INTERIOR DOME LIGHTING IN FRONT. THUS WHEN IT IS DARK, NO COURTESY LIGHT COMES ON UPON ENTRY AND IT'S HARD TO SEE WHERE TO PUT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IF ANYONE SUSPICIOUS IS LURKING AROUND, IF YOU ARE STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT NIGHT, OR IF YOU ARE LOST. THERE IS A LIGHT IN THE BACK, BUT IT IS VERY DIM AND PROVIDES NO HELP. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I NEGLECTED TO CHECK FOR IT, AS I THOUGHT THAT ALL CARS TODAY CAME EQUIPPED WITH FRONT LIGHTING. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PUT ONE IN AS IT WAS NOT MANUFACTURED WITH ONE. I'M SURPRISED IT IS LEGAL TO SELL NEW CARS WITH SUCH AN IMPORTANT FIXTURE MISSING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 HYUNDAI VENUE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, SHE WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE ROADWAY CLEARLY DUE TO THE HEADLIGHTS BEING VERY DIM. THE CONTACT STATED SHE WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE TO HER RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TWICE TO THE LOCAL DEALER RIVERHEAD HYUNDAI (1800 OLD COUNTRY RD, RIVERHEAD, NY 11901, (631)369-0600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE HEADLIGHTS TO BE ADJUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100.
The lane departure system is great though it moves the wheel quite a bit. My issue is, when the vehicle is passing an intersection with active lane departure on, it pulls the vehicle toward medians and forces the driver to pull it back into the center of the lane. Active forward collision assistance has not worked when vehicles have flown by directly in front of the car. I have manually stopped the vehicle every time. The lights on the 2020 model are low, and the “top lights” are actually only turn signal or hazard lights. This has caused other drivers to assume my lights are “off” and flash their high beams at me on numerous occasions, especially when driving at night. Which impairs my vision as a driver on a consistent basis. This vehicle should have top lights… I drive quite a bit so these are consistent issues I have observed over the past year of owning this vehicle from new. Thank you!
