#2922 of 3023 Re: Sonata GLS 2007 Maintenance [asher3] by targettuning Jul 27, 2009 (8:30 am)
Replying to: asher3 (Jul 26, 2009 10:00 am) While the new air filter element might need changed at that mileage the rest probably doesn't need attention. That said, it isn't just Hyundai DEALERS who invent services at various and usually too short intervals. Many (most?) customers are mechanically challenged and to them if the dealer recommends a service then "by God" we had better have it done. So, check your "service interval requirements" booklet in the package you received with your car to see what the manufacturer (not dealer) recommends and at what interval. If the services are substantially different (and I suspect they may be) then do not blame Hyundai, blame that particular dealer. Don't paint with a broad brush because I'm guessing you will find Honda, Toyota, Ford and...you name it...dealers re-interpreting service intervals and services to benefit their service departments.

Replying to: newowner10 (Jul 24, 2009 10:23 am) I was told it was a sensor and would cost $250-$300. This is an 04 sonata with 94,000 miles, problem started around 70k.

#2925 of 3023 Air Bag Light on by jvc09 Jul 29, 2009 (9:55 am)
04 Sonata with 94k - after cleaning the car, including under the front seats, I noticed the Air Bag light came on and has been for a while now. I wanted to know is this an easy fix or a major issue. Bottom line - how do I get the light to go off? Replies to this message: LASHAWN (Jul 29, 2009 11:51 am)

Replying to: jvc09 (Jul 29, 2009 9:55 am) Check under the seat to see if you accidently unplugged the wire for the airbag system. I work in service department and can't tell you how many times I've run across this problem when customers are cleaning under their seat or stuffing things under them. If this is the case, simply plugging the wire back in should take care of this without having to have airbag light reset with scan tool.

The battery went dead in the FOB replaced the battry and now the car does not start. The alarm goes off when you put the key in te on position. Any help would be greatly appreciated in resetting the alarm.

How hard is it for a pretty good shadetree mechanic to change the rotors on a 2007 Sonata? Replies to this message: sonata01 (Aug 05, 2009 9:02 am)

Replying to: bararcjt (Aug 04, 2009 6:30 pm) I don't know if there is much difference over the years, but my '01 Sonata was rather easy. After removing the caliper, (as if you were changing the disc pads) the rotor is ready. Mine was held on by 1 small philips head screw; I understand some just slide on and are held on by the caliper and the wheel/tire. Good luck.
#2930 of 3023 Snapping sound by oskwi Aug 06, 2009 (9:55 am)
Hello all! I have a 2007 Sonata with approximately 78,000 miles on it. I am having this unusual snapping sound from the front left when I turn left AND have the brake pedal depressed. If I slow down enough and turn left WITHOUT braking, the sound is not there. There is no sound when going over bumps/into potholes in the road so I am thinking most likely not strut related.   I am faithful with my maintenance and even the dealer (Vision Hyundai in Canandaigua, NY) is stumped. They hear the sound too, but cannot see anything wrong when the car is up on the lift since the weight resistance is gone I guess. My car is one of the higher mileage 2007's they have and there is no history in the dealership of any problems of this nature. I am now back in Buffalo and will be going back with Towne Hyundai in Orchard Park to try and get a resolution.   Any insights anyone can suggest would be most appreciated before I have my service visit. Thank you! Replies to this message: alokjerry (Aug 06, 2009 10:49 pm) LASHAWN (Aug 07, 2009 12:01 pm)
