Nut fell off the parking brake cable. Installed a new nut + extra locking nut so the nut could not vibrate off. It was easy to fix and less of a hassle than make an appointment with the dealer. Clunking in right rear from lower shock absorber when going over bumps. Tightened shock absorber bolt and clunking stopped. Fixed it myself.

Rear trunk latch failure. Hyundai recall in effect after I replaced the trunk latch myself. Having observed on the Sonata forum many failures, I elected to get a NON-OEM replacement from Amazon and replace it myself. It was easier and quicker to replace the latch myself than schedule an appointment with dealer.
