2002 Hyundai Santa Fe inside dash lights dim and brighten every few minutes

2002 Hyundai Santa Fe 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 69,000 miles. When driving my headlights and inside dash lights dim and brighten every few minutes. This began about a year ago. I find the dimming of the lights to be dangerous at night. The Hyundai dealership says this is normal and it is the way it's made. Is this true? I am taking my vehicle in again as it is under warranty. However, I think they are giving me a runaround.

That`s not normal. You have an electrical problem. The battery its not "holding" the charge or it's something else drawing the power from the battery.
