#2720 of 3016 2004 Sonata V6 stalled: ideas? by rollingwoods Dec 10, 2008 (5:16 pm)
Just had a weird experience. As I pulled up to the curb to park my Sonata's engine cut out. Battery would turn engine over, but wouldn't start. After five minutes tried again, engine would barely start but coughed and shook and wouldn't go over about 500 rpms. Called AAA, by the time they got there (an hour) I tried one more time and the engine started fine. I drove it the ten miles home with no problem.   I was lucky I was only going 4-5 mph, since of course I lost the power steering etc. It's scary to think of it happening when on a freeway or something. Anyone else have this happen? Ideas? Never had any problems with the car before (44,000 miles).
#2721 of 3016 Sonata brake issues. by rustum Dec 14, 2008 (11:11 am)
Hi, I have 2001 Sonata GLS with 79k miles on it. Recently i have inspected vehicle at Firestone. He suggested me to change my rear wheel brakes immediately. He told me that i need to change brake pads, rotors and fluid as well. He is quoting around $470 to get done all these things. According to him, i have very minimal brakes on back wheels. Do i need to change immediately. Can some one suggest me cheaper alternates. Replies to this message: backy (Dec 14, 2008 12:24 pm) rustum (Dec 14, 2008 9:43 pm)

Replying to: rustum (Dec 14, 2008 11:11 am) If don't know/trust this shop, you could get a 2nd opinion. But brakes are not something to put off. Has the brake fluid ever been changed? If so, how long ago? If they are the original rear brakes, it's quite possible they need work. You might ask if the rotors could just be resurfaced vs. replaced.

Replying to: backy (Dec 14, 2008 12:24 pm) Hi Backy, Thanks for the reply. When i bought it has 57k miles on it. I have changed front wheel brake pads. Nothing done to either read wheel breaks or break fluid. I will check with other stores. Firestone is suggesting me to change read wheel brake pads, rotors and fluid for close to $480 which seems to me very high. Any other reasonable stores.
#2724 of 3016 help, i cant fill my tank by wolves310 Dec 18, 2008 (10:13 am)
the last 3 times i went to put gas in my car, i could not get it to fill up. the nozzle clicks like when you have a full tank of gas, but i know its empty. the guage is right, so i know its not the fuel filter. if i keep pumping after the nozzle clicks, the tank 'overflows'. i made sure the vent holes are clear and dont know any solution.

Replying to: wolves310 (Dec 18, 2008 10:13 am) Have you tried different gas pumps? I had a car that did that but only at certain pumps. I use to turn the handle over and it worked fine. Possibly not placing the nozzle in all the way may help. It would have nothing do with the fuel filter unless you mean the "Fuel Tank" air filter. Do you here a whooshing noise when you take the cap off?
