2016 Hyundai Sonata 4dr Sedan
154-horsepower 2.0L I4 Hybrid 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 14000 mi | The parking brake would not release, initially. When it did, there was a crunch and ALL the warning sensors lit up. They remained that way for several minutes, even after driving away. About 10 days prior, the "Key Present" sensor lit up, suggesting that there was NO key in the vicinity. The car could be driven, but I clearly ran the risk of an on-road shutdown because no key was identified or activated. |
