SERVICE BRAKES
UPON PARKING MY VEHICLE, I COULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE OR NEUTRAL, RESULTING IN AN INABILITY TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND REMOVE MY KEYS. AS I WAS UNABLE TO DO THIS, I COULD NOT LEAVE MY VEHICLE AND FEARED IT COULD ROLL FROM ITS PARKING SPOT. AT THIS TIME, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT COMING ON WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE BRAKES. ALSO, MY ESC CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON INDICATING THIS FUNCTION WAS NO LONGER WORKING. WHEN TALKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I LEARNED THERE IS AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH OTHER MODELS THAT HAS RESULTED IN A RECALL. HOWEVER, MY FORTE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS TO RESTART MY VEHICLE OVER FIFTEEN MINUTES, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. HOWEVER, MY ESC LIGHT REMAINED ON AFTER THIS. *TR

TIRES
THE TPMS SENSOR RETAINING NUTS CRACK AND CAUSE THE TIRE TO SUDDENLY LOOSE ALL AIR PRESSURE. THIS HAS HAPPEN ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS DESTROYED THE TIRE. TODAY WHILE GETTING BRAKES SERVICED IT WAS FOUND I HAVE A THIRD RETAINING NUT THAT IS CRACKED. *TR
