I have a 2007 Sonata which i recently bought new in January (well it is oficially used but it only had 24 miles on it when i bought it from a dealer; and interesting but a different story). I hm just doing my second oil change on it; have been doing my own oil chages on my Hondas and toyotas for 30+ years. On my Sonata (4cyl., standard trans), I finfished replacing filter and oil and added 3.78 liters of Castrol 5W-20. But it did not read "full," read just at the "L" on the dip stick. Is it the case that this car takes 4.5 quarts? I have never used more than the 3.78 liter or 4quart copntainers.

Unfortunately the brakes seem to have been the problem, rear left only, and only 18,600 miles!! rear brakes. That's what irks me the most. Had it been the front I wouldn't have thought twice. The mileage is probably about 2:1 city. Apparently the noise is the car's 'driver notification system' that the breaks need to be replaced so if you hear it... Need to check the owners manual but I seem to recall reading something about a chirping noise that starts when the breaks need to be replaced.
The rotors were none the worse so I left them alone for the time being.

Wow, even for a lot of city driving, 18,600 is very soon to need rear brakes and only on one side. Is there something else at play here?

I am having a similar problem. The trunk does not actually pop open, but the trunk open light does come on intermitantly.

Car has 119,00 miles Automatic. I was driving down the Hwy 70mph using the cruise control when it shifted from D to 3rd gear. It stayed that way until I pulled over and turned off the car. I re-started the car about 5 minutes later and everything was fine. Drove 30 miles 70mph without a problem. The next day I drove about 5 miles 50mph and it did it again. "any ideas"
Thanks
Chris

Your owners manual states the I4 takes 4.5 qts with a filter change.

Hard to say without being in the car and experiencing the exact behavior. Could be many things. Possibly, if your trans is so equipped, it could be a temperature sensor malfunction which tell the computer that the car is cold when in fact it is at operating temperature. Conversely, there may be a transmission fluid temperature sensor giving a false reading of trans fluid being too hot, sending the transmission into a default mode to protect it. Worst case scenarios would be something wrong with the torque converter lock up. I'd suggest seeing if any trouble codes are present in the computer, also checking your transmission fluid level.

I tried but cannot ignore this "hypothetical" question. The driver of this hypothetical car clearly ignored first some "funny" actions or noises or both by the vehicle then a critical warning light and STILL desides to drive just a "little further" and in doing so probably incurred some potentially expensive to repair damage. Now, this hypothetical driver wants to know if the dealer can access proof of the stupidity in play here in order to deny warranty repairs. If that proof of stupidity can be accessed via the engine management computer and its codes how can this information be erased.. Do I have this right?? Oh, the "hypothetical" needs to pay for any repairs alright and instead of asking everyone here if and how you...oops, the "hypothetical" driver can evade paying for their stupidity there should be a lesson learned and that lesson is this: if you ignore not only one, but two or more signs there is something wrong in a major way and continue to merrily motor along until oil spews forth from newly opened fissures in your engine block don't expect someone else (the manufacturer) to bail you out when it is time to pay the piper.

If you'll check the boards, you'll find that Honda Accords and Acura TLs in the 2002 range had this same problem, with some catastrophic results sometimes. Honda has a "quiet" replacement deal going out there for those so affected. It's a dead bang sure thing Hyundai has no such program. But I think your transmission is toast. I'd dump the car.

My friend with a 01 Elantra had the same exact problem and it turned out to be a inexpensive sensor. I believe it was the crank sensor that lost contact with the computer and put trans into limp home mode. I think it happen at around the 100,000 mark also. Hope this helps good luck.
