Consumer Description
IN THE TWO YEARS IVE HAD THIS CAR THERE HAVE BEEN 3 RECALLS THAT I HAVE GOTTEN TAKEN CARE OF AT SOUTH CHARLOTTE HYUNDAI HERE IN CHARLOTTE, NC. THE DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT I CHANGED THE BULBS 4 TIMES IN 6 MONTHS BECAUSE THE TAIL LIGHT WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. I HAVE HAD AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE 3 DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CAR IN JUNE OF 2016 WHERE MY RADIO FREEZES AND I CANT USE ANY OF THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL OR DASHBOARD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES THEY DONT KNOW THE PROBLEM SO NOW IVE BEEN JUS UNPLUGGING THE FUSE FOR THE RADIO FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS THEN PLUG IT BACK IN AND IT WORKS I GO THROUGH THIS ONCE EVERY OTHER MONTH. THEN MY LEFT HEAD LIGHT HAS GONE OUT, MY LEFT FOG LIGHT WENT OUT, AND NOW MY RIGHT FOG LIGHT HAS WENT OUT. I CHECKED THE BULBS ALL BULBS ARE STILL GOOD THEY JUST DONT WANT TO LIGHT UP. ALSO WHEN I CLOSE MY DOORS MY INTERIOR LIGHTS BLINK LIKE A STROBE LIGHT SO I HAVE TO LEAVE THE SWITCH IN OFF SO THEY DONT COME ON AT ALL. AS I RIDE AROUND THEY CITY EVERY SONATA I SEE HAS A HEAD LIGHT(S) OUT AND TAIL OR BRAKE LIGHTS OUT. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO GET ON THIS ASAP
