#2858 of 2947 Re: 2005 Sonata Car Alarm [infiniti370] by bhmr59 May 01, 2006 (5:24 pm)
Replying to: infiniti370 (May 01, 2006 4:57 pm) I've had A GLS SV for a little over a year. Car has been fantastic.   When you lock or unlock by the remote, the lights flash but the horn does not sound. I think that's nice. There are many times that I am annoyed when I hear other cars' horns sound because the owner is locking the car.   My alarm has never gone off, as far as I know? How did you trip your alarm? Window open and then reach inside to open the door? Replies to this message: infiniti370 (May 01, 2006 6:14 pm) bhmr59 (May 02, 2006 4:01 am) infiniti370 (May 02, 2006 7:59 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: bhmr59 (May 01, 2006 5:24 pm) Thanks for your reply. I set off the alarm by remaining in the car and setting the alarm using the remote and then opening the door. Once I do this the lights flash and Im not able to start the car for awhile. The owners manual says the alarm should sound once its set off. In addition the dealership said the alarm should sound. My brother just bought the same car and said his alarm also does not sound. Replies to this message: bhmr59 (May 02, 2006 4:01 am) infiniti370 (May 02, 2006 7:59 am) ray_h1 (May 07, 2006 10:47 am)

Replying to: infiniti370 (May 01, 2006 6:14 pm) Wild guess. Once you shut off the car, try opening and closing the driver's door (as if you were leaving the car) before using the remote to set the alarm.   I suggest this based on a headlight function. I leave my headlights on all the time. When I remove the key the headlights turn off but the parking lights remain on. They turn off when I open the door.   Another feature, when you turn off the car your power windows will be operational for about 30 seconds OR until you open the door, which ever comes first.   Good luck...let me know what happens.

Replying to: hyun2005dont (Apr 23, 2006 8:58 pm) "...if i sell mine even with the 16,000 it has on it the next person gets nothing..."   A subsequent owner would receive the remainder of the 5 yr./60,000 mile basic warranty. He/she would also receive the remainder of the state and federal emissions system waranties.

Replying to: bhmr59 (May 02, 2006 4:01 am) Yeah I tried that and still no sound. I know the alarm is going off since all the lights flash and Im not able to start the car. Does any one have sound on their Sonata Alarm when it is set or it goes off?? Replies to this message: ray_h1 (May 07, 2006 10:47 am)

Replying to: hyun2005dont (Apr 11, 2006 6:50 pm) Why don't you file a lemon lawsuit. You have a good case. In NJ the lemon law is very consumer friendly. I filed on a Ford escape and in short order came to a satisfactory settlement. Google lemon law and look up the law and law firms it sounds like you have a solid case. There is no charge and they won't take the case unless they think they will win. If this was a defective TV or VCR you would return and get your money back a car is no different, just more expensive IMO. Good luck.

Replying to: infiniti370 (May 02, 2006 7:59 am) "Does any one have sound on their Sonata Alarm when it is set or it goes off??"   Yep - my '03 Sonata's port-of-entry installed system goes into 30 seconds of wake-the-dead mode if something triggers it, but it remains silent when I arm or disarm it with the keyfob - just brief flashing of the four exterior directional signal lights. Have you contacted a Hyundai dealer about this as a warranty item?
#2865 of 2947 Re: 2005 Sonata Car Alarm [infiniti370] by infiniti370 May 26, 2006 (1:47 pm)
Replying to: infiniti370 (May 01, 2006 4:57 pm) BTW I took my car in to have the alarm look at and they said it got wet which happends a lot and they replaced it for free. Now when I set it off it makes a noise (its not the horn though...its a seperate alarm noise). SO anyone who catn make their alarm sound should go have it look at before your warrenty is up.

Well I have a 99 GLS that has been a good car. Didn't have many repairs and as I approached 100,000 miles did the plugs, wires, oil and tranny fluid and filters and replaced the rear struts.   About a month later, while driving 60 MPH on the freeway, the car made a loud noise and shuddered. The check engine light came on and I finished the drive to work. Well I then discovered that Reverse was gone and the transmission was shot. I was at 103,000 and SOL. Dealer said $2500 for a rebuild. Found a local shop (via 2 referrals) that did it for $1290 parts/labor and tax.   This has really soured my opinion of Hyundai. I did all the required maintenance and in over 27 years of careful driving, have never had a major component (trans or engine) fail on me. Replies to this message: ray_h1 (Jun 16, 2006 11:07 am)

Replying to: sonatageek (Jun 15, 2006 3:03 pm) Just curious - what type and brand ATF did you use, and how often did you change it?
