    - SPOKANE, WA

    I lost the ability to steer my car any more than 15 to 20 degrees in any direction while traveling at a maximum speed of 25 mph and within approximately 300 yards of driving. Once steering control became limited a warning was displayed on my dash very briefly saying my high beams were not functioning properly. Then my dash showed 7 different warning icons. My safety and that of others was most definitely put at risk. The dealer told me they had to replace the steering column. He also told me that this type of malfunction only occurs on the Hybrid models of the Sonata.

    My trunk latch malfunctioned and my trunk will no longer close. I brought my vehicle to the Hyundai dealership and they advised me the latch has indeed failed there was nothing they could do to fix it, as the recall is still marked "incomplete" and they have no parts to fix the trunk latch. I am unable to drive my car with the trunk open, as it makes me unable to see out of the back window.
