 Description of the problemComputer problems for several months now. My car will stop a turn mid-turn and the dash lights will flash on momentarily. The wheel will bind and i have to brake hard to regain control of the wheel so i can complete the turn. This is always at a moderate speed, below the speed limit posted for the on/off ramp, etc. This has happened at least a dozen times with each time almost resulting in a crash due to losing control of my steering wheel. I took it to the dealership, they blew me off and said i needed to change my automatic transmission fluid. I had 3 other shops look at it and no one could determine cause. I had the grease fittings inspected as well as tie rods/ball joints. All were reported good. My airbag light has been on since about 40,000 miles. I took my car in, they said there was a leak in my sunroof, fixed it under warranty and turned the airbag light off. It came on again after 50,000 miles (after the expiration of my warranty) and has been on ever since. I took it into the dealership and they said it was a faulty seat belt clip and i needed to pay about $300 to have it fixed. I've done a lot of research and i'm seeing that many many hyundai sonata owners are experiencing the same things.... Airbag lights and computer problems.
