I know the automatic transmission is covered under the 10 year warranty. My son is thinking of buying a manual transmission GLS.I bet the clutch would be considered maintenance and not warranty. anyone know? How long does it normally last? In the Audi's they normally go over 100k.

Dealer replaced the set top box in the trunk and the xm now works normally.

If the clutch "breaks" because of a defect, it's covered under the powertrain warranty. If it just wears out (e.g. clutch pressure plate) or fails due to misuse, it's not covered. This comes from some personal experience with a clutch failure on an Elantra.

Auto Light Sensor 2009 Sonata

My auto-light snsor goes on too late in my opinion. I have covered the red flashing security LED figuring that is the only place on the sensor that is not opaque. Aiming flashlight at the sensor does turn the lights on and off so I am in the correct area. In the actual sensor not where the red LED is?

Check the same position, other side of the car, that's where it is on the 2008.

The red flashing LED is not the correct dash "button". You should have one on the passenger side. Try covering that one with masking tape and see what happens. It should work. You might want to add a piece of window tint or, I just thought of this, a light film of clear or so nail polish to help darken the sensor. Just a thought. Let us know how the nail polish works.  Enquiring minds want to know.

My car only has one in the center of the dash. May be 2009's are different then previous years. The on line manual show it is the same one for both security and lighting.

If the manual says the sensor is there, why not put a layer of tape over it and see how it works.
Folks in the far east apparently believe that turning the lights on when it is still light outside is impolite. At least, that's what a driver in Shanghai told us. Go figure.

I taped the sides of the sensor mostly and got the results I wanted. Maybe to much just fine tuning now

I have a 2004 Sonata manual transmission. The clutch is not covered and it is bad. I had to replace my first one at 45,000 miles. Hyundai paid for the flywheel, $1,500. I paid $1,200. They have a 'dual-mass' flywheel that cannot be turned, it must be replaced. That clutch went out at 87,000 miles and I was stuck with the whole $3,000 repair bill. I will not have that car for another 30,000 mile.
