The 2011 Hyundai Sonata vehicles are only 6 years old and there is so many issues with the vehicle. I love my car, but what I have been going through, it's overwhelming me with stress. My Horn just went out on me yesterday, I just refuse to take it to Hyundai, to get it fixed, something else may go wrong...
