You are in the Hyundai Sonata Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
In August, I purchased a 2008 Sonata that was manufactured in early 2007, so it has probably weathered a couple of snowy winters in parts north before coming to me in Florida. My dealer says that the surface rust on the steel wheals is normal and happens to his own car. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Somehow I think that the paint on the wheels aught to hold up for a couple years, but maybe I am asking too much.

Replying to: sunkleep (Oct 02, 2009 10:39 am) I have painted OEM alloys on my 2004 Elantra. I live in Minnesnowta. I expect the paint quality on them isn't any better than on the Sonata. Other than a few nicks nicks from curbs, they still look brand new. P.S. Favre rocks!

Hello ! I have some serious issues happening here...and we cannot figure this one out ! Ran car through various computers and no errors found.. I am at 100,000, I have already replaced water pump, timing belt, pistons, belts....maintenance always on time... The problem is it is stalling or choking sounding as if it were a gas problem...the last time this happened it was the distributor cap....I replaced that 2yrs ago and just replaced it now...did a tune up, that area seems to spark up...I would even get electricuted every time I would get out of my car ! Well this time...the distributor did not help the situation at all ! It is still stalling...I have to literally press the gas barely an inch to move....and as I gain momentum on hwy it still runs gr8 but I cannot press the gas more than an inch because it will start stalling and gagging and choking and it will turn off at a red light...Backing out of my parking is a mission it will barely stay on...the pressure is good, I've had a gr8 mechanic for years, the rpms are right on the money, it has never overheated on me..if I keep in neutral then I can put the ac on....Seems if I put ac on it only makes it jerk even worse so I can only put on the ac when I'm already at 50mph...WE cannot figure out what is wrong with this damn thang! We have been puzzled...not gas filter! not head of engine ! spark plugs have been changed though my mechanic has noticed twice one spark plug is not burning correctly...the cylinders are good...it's still relatively clean in there...we checked the air flow, everything ! WE read on computer and no errors ! I just don't know what to do anymore!??? Clueless ! And I really need this car to work !! I am desperate for some answers and maybe I can send this info to my mechanic on monday...My only day off for the rest of the year !!! Please!! If anyone could help...I would greatly appreciate !!!??? WE are clueless ! The only last resort we have is actually opening that engine up in half again, which is time consuming and of course cost $$$....Can anyone tell me other options to try??? Before I go insane?? This is a mechanic's nightmare ! Thank You so much.......................... ^oo^

| 09 Sonata has tire pressure icon lit on the dash. All tire pressures OK. Owner's manual says parking near airport and dramatic temperature changes can cause this. We have driven over 20 minutes as indicated in the owner's manual. How do we get the dash icon light to turn off? | |
