#2960 of 3029 Re: Was me ripped off by dealership for engine light on check? [LASHAWN] by newowner10 Aug 22, 2009 (3:42 pm)
Replying to: LASHAWN (Aug 22, 2009 8:17 am) That is how it should be everything up front as you stated. I had a 2002 Mercury Sable where the Anti-lock Brake light would come on after 5 minutes if it was warm out I took the car in and they told me it would be $89 to check the codes. After they checked it they said the anti-lock brake module was not outputting any codes. He told me that once module was replaced at $900 there could be other problem. I did not replace the module and just drove without anti-lock brakes and traction control. The good thing it worked much longer in the winter when it was below freezing.

Replying to: LASHAWN (Aug 22, 2009 8:17 am) Yes you are correct, unless there is a specific "loose fuel cap" warning lamp (which, by the way is something I have seen more of on the newest cars I have rented) the dealer has to check the entire evap. system...time is money AND peace of mind. I hate those glaring "check engine lamps"
#2962 of 3029 What does the 30,000 mile service cost? by delaluz Aug 30, 2009 (11:27 am)
Anyone know what the dealer would charge for a 30,000 service on a 2007 Sonata?   The Precision Tune guy said it would cost around $250 for him to do it. Replies to this message: LASHAWN (Aug 30, 2009 4:34 pm)

Replying to: delaluz (Aug 30, 2009 11:27 am) If you have the 3.3L v6 than it should cost less than that according to the owner's maintenance guide. All that should be done is oil change, tire rotation and engine air filter replacement. Should cost no more than $150.00 and that's really pushing it.
#2964 of 3029 2005 Sonata wont start by goodboynyc Sep 05, 2009 (6:24 pm)
I recently replaced the battery on my 2005 Sonata(after about 3 days). After the new battery was installed, I tried firing the car up. But when I place the the key in the ignition and turn it to start, the engine cranks, all accessories turn on AND the alarm starts, which I believe is holding me back.   My Keyfob won't doesn't work, even though the batteries are fine. It won't close or open the doors, nor does it open the trunk.   Is there some way to bypass the alarm to get the car to start? Replies to this message: james1982 (Sep 06, 2009 2:03 pm)

Replying to: goodboynyc (Sep 05, 2009 6:24 pm) If you can figure out which fuse the alarm is connected to, you can just pull it out.
#2966 of 3029 2002 Hiccups in gear. Ideas? by agrajag27 Sep 13, 2009 (7:02 pm)
I have a 2002 that we're trying to keep going for a bit. It's recently started acting strangely. When it's in neutral it idles perfectly but once it's in gear every 8 seconds or so it will sort of hiccup where the car sounds like it's about to stall and then go right back to normal. Once you start applying gas the hiccup vanishes.   Anyone have an idea what the source of this problem might be? I don't trust the dealership here too much and suspect they'll find it's the most expensive of all possible things. I can do most repair jobs once I know what to repair.

Replying to: agrajag27 (Sep 13, 2009 7:02 pm) I'm not a mechanic, but you might think about the spark plug wires or even the spark plugs. In the past on my old non-Hyundai, I've thought the transmission was shuddering, but my independent mechanic tracked it down to bad spark plug wires.

Replying to: agrajag27 (Sep 13, 2009 7:02 pm) I had the same problem with my '93 Nissan Maxima. Turned out to be the mass air flow sensor going bad. Got progressively worse. Car would hiccup and stumble both at idle and at speed. Replacement (generic part, not a genuine Nissan part) and labor came to about $580.00. Good luck with yours.
#2969 of 3029 Broken Trunk Struts by pries4 Sep 22, 2009 (5:53 pm)
I took delivery of my Sonata LX about 6 weeks ago. I''ve put a mere 850 miles on it and both my trunk struts have broken. One broke today and the other about two weeks ago. I called the dealer today to schedule repairs but in the meantime does anybody have any idea why this would happen? I certainly did not force anything or slam anything into them. Linda
