Nvbanker and Rhaduke,
Thanks for your information. Today got timing belt replace. They did replace some other belt also for around 450$. Car looks ok now. I should able to use it for some more time.
Today, i happen to go to Honda dealer. They are offering Accord at very good price. But, they are ready to give only 3K to my Sonata. Sorry to post about Accord in Sonata forum.

That's ok. But why are you shopping it now, when you just got your timing belt?

Hi Nvbanker,
I heard about accord deals after replacing timing belt. Anyway, now sonata looks ok. Currently it has 67k miles. What is the typical life of sonata. Does it run for 100k without any issues? Would like to move to new car once i am sure of staying longer here.

All I can tell ya, is that I've bought & sold tons of them, and never had a bad one yet. They're not the Hyundais of the 90's anymore, they're great solid cars. Japan should be very frightened. They still have an edge - but it's going away fast, and I don't think GM or Ford have any edge over Hyundai anymore. I expect your Sonata to run 100,000 miles with minimal problems. Please let me know if I'm wrong - but I've never had a customer come back to me cussing their Hyundai.

Hi Nvbanker,
Some times, i am not able to start the car. After turning the key, it just chuckles. I am able to start after couple of attempts. I am not able to replicate this. I can see batter indicator on.
I even did run it though service man when i went to change my timing belt. They said, they have cleaned some wire which is connected to batter. Everything is ok. In their report, they said battery is very good.
Do you think, i need to turn the key fast for engine to start. Do you have any idea.

Try posting here: "No Start" Problems. It's not specific to Sonatas, but neither are starting problems!
 
Meanwhile maybe someone here will have an idea for you.
 
Good luck - let us know how it turns out.
