The interior lights will significantly dim for no apparent reason to the point you can not even read the time on the clock. Sometimes if you hit the turn signal they will flicker to regular brightness. Asl if I hit a soeed bump or pot hole the headlights will flicker off/then back on. This happens while in motion on city streets or highways.

I have had to change my break lights 8 times since January. Both my rear left and right brake lamps keep burning out constantly, even though I've replaced the bulbs many times. I have now received 2 warnings about it. I have taken my car into Hyundai and after a lot of frustration they do a temporary fix then it happens again. This is huge safety issue, as brake lights are required by law, and if they aren't working properly, they pose a huge risk to driver and those around. Other sonatas are on recall for this but I am being told my VIN does not qualify. In additions I am having issues with my steering coupler. I have been dealing with this since 96K miles on the car and again my VIN is not covered and they want 500 to fix a $4 part.
