ANTILOCK BRAKES ENGAGED AT THE SAME TIME SHAKING THE CAR TO A STOP. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ME AND THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON AN INTERSTATE GOING 70 MPH! TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT DAY, THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AFTER READING THAT OTHER 2016 SONATAS HAD DONE THE SAME THING, I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND DID NOT WANT IT ANY LONGER. THEY REFERRED ME TO HYUNDAI CORPORATE WHO DENIED MY CLAIM BECAUSE TESTING CAME UP WITH NO DEFECT, AND I ASSUME IS GOING TO PUT IT RIGHT BACK OUT ON THE STREETS!! I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TRADE IT IN AND GET ANOTHER HYUNDAI, SINCE I WOULD NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE SELLING IT OUTRIGHT TO SOMEONE ELSE KNOWING THIS HAD HAPPENED. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH CORPORATE FOR ALLOWING THIS VEHICLE TO REMAIN ON THE ROADS WHEN THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE FIRST COMPLAINT LIKE THIS IN THE 2016S.
