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.

help, i cant fill my tank by wolves310

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.

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?

I had the same problem. Dealer replaced a vapor tank that had filled up with gas an corrected the problem. Apparently the blatter is only to take vapor, had allowed gas to come in. This was on my 2004 Sonata with less than 4000 miles. Had no problem after replacement.

These problems can be caused by "over-filling" the tank.
 
Don't squeeze in every last drop. If the fuel pump has an auto shut off, stop fueling when it kicks off, don't force more fuel into the tank.

ABS & ESC Lights on after towing by aps4

This friday I was stuck in snow and had to be towed a few hundred meters. The tow truck lifted the front wheels up and pulled forward. Regular commercial tow truck company. The ABS & ESC lights came on from then. Any idea what could that be & how to correct it

Mechanics! by Fard

Hello
 
I am just wondering if somebody knows a good mechanics for Hyundai (Sonata) in LI (maybe in Port Jefferson). I got few mechanics here but am not sure if they can provide a good diagnose for this car(which I bought last week). I would also like to buy a warranty if it is possible. It is 2001 and doesn't have any warranty.
 
Thank You

I'd like to change the oil for the first time on a 2.4L 2003 Sonata. Anyone know what size the drain plug is? I need to buy that tool.

The drain plug on my Sonata is 17 mm. Hope this helps.
