Replying to: negative (Jul 20, 2009 9:14 am) It probably is going to be fine, but there could be a warranty issue if you do not do it. Placing a maintenance item in the fuel tank is ridiculous. You should have a special tool to remove the fuel pump. To save money possibly if you remove the seat and such they will spend less time on the job and you could save some money if you do it.

Replying to: newowner10 (Jul 20, 2009 1:10 pm) I agree that placing maintenance items in the fuel tank is ridiculous.   By the way, it turns out I can't escape the dealer entirely. The sun roof is now leaking, and it's going to be rainy here the next few days. At least it should be covered by the warranty.

Replying to: negative (Jul 20, 2009 9:14 am) My dealer also said not to worry about fuel filter. Told me they have yet to replace one as a normal maintenance item. did have trans fluid flushed at aamco shop after I noticed a sudden color change. They told me this is not unusual in many newer cars and fluid was probably ok but I'd rather play it safe and flushed it anyway. I also have 32000 miles on my 06.

Replying to: rustygutter (Feb 20, 2008 4:23 pm) My wife has an 05 and the paint is coming off the handles too. I'm driving an 01 Catera and its well worth the problems compared to the Sonata. Its a much better car to drive and more comfortable. The seats are by far better and the ghetto blaster (Bose) is light years ahead. My timing belt has 97,000 miles on its too.

Replying to: dallasdude1 (Jul 22, 2009 5:40 pm) Catera and the word better (than anything except a Yugo) in the same sentence? No, wait....you do understand " the problems" part says it all. Been there done that. Oh, one more problem will be your engine if you don't have the timing belt changed soon! Catera....bah
#2916 of 3021 Cruise Control no londer works by jvc09 Jul 24, 2009 (6:36 am)
Since the 70k mark - the cruise control on my 04 Sonata does not work. Dealer ballparked the repair at over $250-$300. Is this realistic and is this a repairable item an ASE shop can handle at a better cost?

Replying to: jvc09 (Jul 24, 2009 6:36 am) Unless you know why it does not work it would be hard to give a price estimate. You could get an estimate from a independent shop that may cost you $50 to $100. Normally an independent would be less expensive once the problem is found. For dealer to give you the $250 to $300 they most know what is wrong. If they charged you for the estimate they should tell you what is wrong with it. It could be many different things the switches, electronics, sensor, the actuator or a $1 fuse. Replies to this message: jvc09 (Jul 29, 2009 9:41 am)

Replying to: jvc09 (Jul 24, 2009 6:36 am) I'm sure you've already looked into this, but is it something that is covered by your warranty? Replies to this message: jvc09 (Jul 29, 2009 9:43 am)
#2919 of 3021 Sonata GLS 2007 Maintenance by vjy Jul 26, 2009 (6:33 am)
Hi All,   I have 2007 Sonata GLS automatic and I have about 32,000 miles on it. When I had 29,000 miles, I went to the dealer for service and he told I need to do   Transmission Flush, Power Steering Flush, Brake Flush, Cabin Air Filter and it would cost around $500 for these.   Do you guys think its worth it and do I need to do any of these things when I go for oil change this week? If so how much would be the price for each of these?   I saw the manual and it says transmission flush at 30,000 or so, but I have heard people say you dont need that at all.   Any help in this is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Replies to this message: fushigi (Jul 26, 2009 8:27 am) asher3 (Jul 26, 2009 10:00 am) targettuning (Jul 27, 2009 8:30 am)

Replying to: vjy (Jul 26, 2009 6:33 am) At a minimum you need to do the required maintenance in the manual to maintain warranty for those items; i.e. do the trans flush when the manual says to otherwise if you later have a trans failure Hyundai could (rightfully) deny the warranty claim.   That said, you do not have to have your service done at a Hyundai dealer. Feel free to call local shops & get competitive prices. Also check your dealer's web site; some offer service coupons you can print & use.
