07 Sonata V6, 22K miles Live in New England. A day or two after our heavy snow storms and lots of rain, I went to start the vehicle after it had been resting for almost 24 hours. The day before I had done a lot of driving through snow and slushy snow. The temps when I started the car were high 20's Fahrenheit. I started to turn the key. The engine began to turn over, but before it made it all the way, there was a 4 - 5 second period of a loud thumping and bouncing sound coming from under the hood. The way I can describe it is imagine a 5 pound basketball bouncing around inside the engine and under the hood. I held the key in the start position during this, in shock and horror, and then the car started. That was a week ago and I've had no problems since. Have service appointment scheduled for later this week. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks. Love these forums, I'm always lurking.

I don't Know about the rest of you but the Hancook tires (215/55-17) on my limited are absolutly horrible in the upstate NY winter weather. So I have been looking around to getting rim and winter tire package. I looked at TIRERACK.COM and was looking to go down to smaller rims (215/60-16) which is suggested. But they suggest the goodyear eagle ultra grip GW3 which is a "performance snow tire". I am close to buying this but was wondering if anybody had any other suggestions on a BETTER tire maybe that they have had experience with (and the best place to get them if possible)? Or another website that offers different winter tires and RIMS? Thanks! (Also looking at the Blizzak WS 60)

Replying to: newowner10 (Jan 12, 2009 9:58 am) I like thse tires as well. The only downside I've noticed is slightly higher road noise. |

Has anyone had problems with Sonata sun visors? I had the driver's side replaced a few weeks ago because it would not "stay up". The dealer said it was a tension issue in the visor, and was replaced under warranty. Now I am waiting for the passenger side to be replaced. The service rep said this problem is common for this model...even with the new ones. I have a 2007.

I brought my 2006 Sonata (74K mi) into the dealer to check on a grinding noise. I am not the original owner, so I am beyond the warranty. They clam it is the flywheel in the transmission? Has anyone heard of this, and should this happen at this mileage???
