BOTH TIMES, FAILURE BEGAN WITH AUTOMATIC DEACTIVATION OF THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (AS INDICATED BY A LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL), FOLLOWED SEVERAL DAYS LATER BY FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION INTERLOCK SYSTEM WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT THE CAR TO/FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE (OR PARK).  WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURRED ON FRIDAY, MAY 9, 2008, I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT BUT SUDDENLY NEEDED TO REVERSE MY DIRECTION TO AVOID BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT DID NOT YIELD THE RIGHT OF WAY.  WITH NO WARNING, I SUDDENLY FOUND THAT THE SHIFT LEVER WOULD NOT MOVE INTO REVERSE BECAUSE THE SHIFT INTERLOCK (CONTROLLED BY THE DEFECTIVE BRAKE SWITCH) WOULD NOT ALLOW THE LEVER TO MOVE.  I WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND WAS NEARLY HIT BY A TRUCK BECAUSE I COULD NOT MOVE THE VEHICLE!  LUCKILY, I REMEMBERED HOW TO REMOVE THE SMALL COVER OVER THE MANUAL DISENGAGEMENT POINT AND WAS ABLE TO USE A LEATHERMAN TOOL TO DEACTIVATE THE SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM AND PLACE THE CAR IN REVERSE.  THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TRAGIC SITUATION IF I HAD BEEN HIT BY THE TRUCK OR IF THIS HAD HAPPENED NEAR A RAILROAD CROSSING OR AS I WAS BOARDING A FERRY BOAT ON PUGET SOUND.  THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI AUTOMOBILES AS I FOUND BY RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ON THE WEB.  THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL!  THE DEALER REPLACED THE SWITCH UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THIS WILL DO LITTLE GOOD IF I AM KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED THE NEXT TIME FAILURE OCCURS.  *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2007","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"SONATA","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]}]}
