| I have a 2006 hyundai santa fe. first the driver's side fog light went out, then the driver's side wiper quit and now the driver's side headlight has gone out. the wiper arm has to be replaced and the fog light assembly has to be replaced. i don't know if there is an electrical issue with this vehicle or not. it was bought brand new in march 2006. it has 62,000 miles on it and so the warranty that covers things like sensors and all is no longer valid. i am concerned about this happening all at once. *tr | |||
