2011 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

MY CAR CHANGED TO CRUISE CONTROL ON ITS OWN. I COULDN'T GET OUT OF IT UNTIL I PARKED. MY LIGHTS DON'T WORK THE CONSTANTLY FLICK ON AND OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO FAILED TO REPLACE MY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SENSOR AFTER I REPORTED THAT THEY NEVER FIXED IT. THEY PUT IT IN THE DATABASE THAT IT WAS REPAIRED BUT I WAS STILL WAITING ON A PART I NEVER RECEIVED

I WENT TO GO PARK AND MY GEAR SHIFTER BROKE, IT WAS STUCK IN REVERSE. ONCE PART OF DASH WAS REMOVED THE CABLE LINK THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE SHIFTER BROKE OFF. THIS WAS A TERRIBLE INCONVENIENCE.

DURING NORMAL DRIVING WITH HEADLIGHT SETTING ON AUTO, HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF WHEN TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED. HEADLIGHTS TURN ON WHEN TURN SIGNAL IS OFF (EITHER MANUALLY TURNED OFF OR WHEN TURN IS COMPLETED). THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE MOVING OR STOPPED AT LIGHT. CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH LEFT TURN, LESS OFTEN FOR RIGHT TURN.

CAR MAKES CLUNKING/SHAKING/RATTLING SOUND WHILE DRIVING, MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN GOING OVER 60MPH OR TURNING THE WHEEL. DOES NOT FEEL SAFE. STEERING WHEEL RATTLES IN YOUR HAND AND VIBRATES THE ENTIRE CAR.

LIGHTS OCCASIONALLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAPPENS ON ITS OWN BUT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN SWITCHING ON HIGH BEAMS. ALL LIGHTS SHUT OFF INSIDE AND OUTSIDE CAR. HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE OWNING THE CAR

THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE GEAR SHIFT. AS I USE THE GEAR SHIFT, WHILE BRAKING AND RELEASING, A KNOCKING NOISE IS HEARD UNDER THE GEAR SHIFT. IT IS CAUSED BY THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING PRESSED. IT KNOCKS WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND BACK.

ON 9/23//2020, MY ENGINE WAS ON FIRE AFTER DRIVING A FEW MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD AND PARKING. THE VEHICLE IS AT HYUNDAI NOW. 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA 2.0T
