Broken Trunk Struts by pries4

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

Can't tell why the first one broke, but maybe the 2nd one broke because it was supporting the lid by itself (assuming you didn't get the first one fixed before the second failed).
 
BTW, was this a used Sonata? The LX hasn't been sold since 2006 MY, I think.

Remote Won't Lock Vehicle by bc6

Hello All,
I have a 2003 Sonata 4 dr, the remote WILL unlock the car but the remote will not lock the doors.. There is a click noise under the dash when the lock button on the remote is pressed but it won't lock the doors. The trunk lock works.
Suggestions?

I'd be interested to hear about a solution too. I have a 2002 4 cyl Sonata and my remote seems to be dying. I have to stand in a certain spot and try several times for it to work.

Have you tried replacing the battery in the remote?

Can anyone tell me where the crankshaft position sensor is located on an 02 Sonota?

Is the problem just with the remote? Or, do the locks not lock when you use the lock/unlock button on the arm rest of the door?
 
You're best bet may be to just try some new batteries. You also might want to pop the remote open, and make sure the sensor is hitting flush with the button.

DIY oil change on new Sonata by 7bill
Sep 27, 2009 (4:09 pm)
Reply
I'm considering purchasing a 2009 or 2010 4-cyliner Sonata and usually do my own oil changes. Just wondering how accessible the oil filter and oil drain plug are on the 4 cylinder engine? Does a DIY oil change require driving the car up on ramp, or can you access the oil filer and drain bolt by slimply scooting under the front end?
