Replying to: vzeeibor (May 22, 2009 3:31 pm) When I first bought my '09 Sonata GLS manual, I noticed the exact same thing you're describing. I was also able to smell a burning odor in the car. When I parked the car, I also smelled it around the wheels and grille. However, the burning smell I had did go away around 1,200 miles. I figured that the smell was just some excess fluid burning off, or engine belts getting broken in. Even though you and I experienced the same thing, if you're still experiencing this problem, it may be something else. Next time you smell it, try pulling off the road and popping the hood to check if anything is smoldering or giving off a little bit of smoke. It could just that one of your belts is too tight, or there may be a belt that has some kind of engine fluid (oil, etc.) on it, and the friction of the belt is causing the fluid to burn. In any event, you may want to take another crack at seeing the service department where you purchased the car. If they aren't able to give you a satisfactory answer, you may want to try another local Hyundai dealer (if there is one) or an independent service shop. An independent service shop may be able to identify the problem, but make SURE you take it back to your dealer to have it serviced - as such a problem will be covered by your warranty. At any rate, I hope that helps. Please let us know how it turns out!

I have a 2003 GLS and I have had a big problem with my car misfiring. I seem to notice it mostly when I am sitting still like at a stop light. It gets really bad when there is a draw on the engine such as the air conditioner or the heater. It really seems like the car has the hiccups. No problems starting or dying just surging. My mechanic says it is not throwing any codes. He has replace spark plugs twice, spark plug wires, timing belt, water pump, checked the fuel filter which is in the gas tank and he has done just about everything he knows how to find the problem. This car has 98000 miles on it and before I take it to the dealer I wanted to see if anyone has had this problem.

Replying to: highdef (Jun 08, 2009 5:52 pm) You should really consider taking it to the dealer immediately for two reasons: 1) they specialize in Hyundai and they may know exactly what it is, 2) it may be an issue that is covered under your 10/100,000 warranty. You only have 2,000 miles left on your warranty, so you may want to get in there as soon as possible. I know you were looking for an answer and, unfortunately, all I can tell you is to take it to your dealer. But, hey, you never know, it could be an issue that is covered by your warranty and you won't have to pay a dime! |

Sonata 2006 4cyl any one replaced their own fuel filter, Looking at the Hyundai site you need a special tool around $180 and new gaskets, I have removed the access panel in the trunk and tried to remove but looks a hard job without special tool. Any ideas appreciated.

Can anyone tell me where I can get genuine Hyundai Parts without paying high prices?
