Consumer Description

NOISE WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL TO RIGHT OR LEFT WHILE DRIVING OR TURNING INTO PARKING PLACE. ALSO MY SONATA LOCKS DOORS BY ITSELF. I CAN BE IN HOUSE AND CAR IS IN GARAGE AND I CAN HEAR THE DOORS LOCK. SOMETIMES WHEN I LEAVE MY HOUSE TO GET IN CAR THE DOORS ARE LOCKED. WHY IS THAT? THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS. HYUNDAI SERVICE SAID TO BRING CAR IN AND THEY WOULD CHECK IT OUT. I DID NOT DO THAT DUE TO NEEDING THE CAR EVERY DAY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THESE ISSUES.
