Description of the problem	In the two years ive had this car there have been 3 recalls that i have gotten taken care of at south charlotte hyundai here in charlotte, nc. The drivers side brake light went out i changed the bulbs 4 times in 6 months because the tail light works when it wants to. I have had an ongoing issue since 3 days after i purchased my car in june of 2016 where my radio freezes and i cant use any of the buttons on the steering wheel or dashboard. I took it to the dealership 4 times they dont know the problem so now ive been jus unplugging the fuse for the radio for about 20 seconds then plug it back in and it works i go through this once every other month. Then my left head light has gone out, my left fog light went out, and now my right fog light has went out. I checked the bulbs all bulbs are still good they just dont want to light up. Also when i close my doors my interior lights blink like a strobe light so i have to leave the switch in off so they dont come on at all. As i ride around they city every sonata i see has a head light(s) out and tail or brake lights out. Hyundai needs to get on this asap
