| Right turn signal stays constantly glowing out of no where. turned the left signal on and the right signal came on as well and stays on even when the car is off. it doesn't blink it just stays glowing. i have read numerous reports from mechanics and other driver with the same vehicle that the relay inside the bcm tends to go bad. if it were just a fluke and it was just mine that was bad i would cough up the money and replace it but if i find numerous people that have had the same problem then seems like hyundai has a faulty part and it needs to be fixed, and also funny how if you order the module on the circuit board that needs to be replaced the part number has changed because they have updated that module so they must have even found a problem with the module. seems like a safety problem as it confuses drivers around me because my right turn signal is constantly glowing then all the sudden left turn signal is flashing. | |||

| My 2004 hyundai tiburon suffers from a long list of electrical problems. both power window motors have stopped working, my power trunk latch is defective, the interior light switch doesn't work, and now the turn signal relay that is part of the body control module has caused intermittent problems with my left turn signal. sometimes it stays on even after turning off the car. i'm worried i may be rear-ended because although my signal is on, it sometimes does not flash properly due to the faulty bcm. research indicates these are very common issues with hyundai vehicles, and very expensive to repair. the bcm is about $700 alone. the window motors are about $300 each. it is ridiculous to pay $700 for a signal light. hyundai should be held accountable for shoddy engineering! | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2004 hyundai tiburon. while driving 50 mph, the contact activated the driver's side turn signal. the light remained solid and did not flash. when the contact arrived to his destination and turned off the vehicle, the turn signal remained solid and would not dim. after several attempts, he managed to disengage the turn signal, but then the battery failed. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for further inspection and they determined that the relay and the body control module failed. the repair would cost $956. a week later, while driving with the cruise control engaged, the cruise control suddenly disengaged without warning. the contact noticed that the speedometer dropped from 70 mph to 0. after a couple of seconds, the cruise control returned without warning. the manufacturer stated that no compensation would be provided because there were no recalls. the failure mileage was 61,000 and current mileage was 65,984. | |||
