We just moved from the US to Canada, have two 2006 Sonata LX's, and I just found out from Hyundai USA that the US warranty is no longer transferable to Canada! I was told the US used to have a 'gentleman's agreement' with Canada, whatever that means, as far as warranty work, but that is no longer in effect. I was told that if I have to have warranty work done I'll have to take the car back to the US for the work! To me that sounds a little silly so I'll have to investigate more. Any comments or info would be appreciated. Thanks.

07 V6. The first 2 oil changes were done at the dealer, total $40 and $45, respectively. Too much IMO. The things I didn't like were $5 for checks and $1 for doc fee; the $5 check changed to $10 on the 2nd time. I called the dealer to discard the $10 visual check and was told part of the package, can't do. They do not offer a plain oil/filter  . So last night I got the 3rd oil change at a local shop, total $31 oil/filter/check/tire rotation/top up after coupon. The oil filter on the invoice is L35610, Internet shows it is a Puralator. This morning, I heard some tapping noise for ~4s after the engine fired up, louder at the beginning and gone by 4s. Outside temp was near 0c. I don't recall hearing this noise before and it wasn't there when I pickup the car last night. Questions: 1) Is the aftermarket filter any good? I read TSB 05-20-002 "USE OF AFTERMARKET ENGINE OIL FILTERS CAUSING ENGINE KNOCKING NOISE" dated July 2005. I don't know if this is the case for me. 2) Is the oil filter installation idiot proof? I read the 2 O rings should be changed but the puralator website shows only the filter, without the O rings. 3) Do you just pure 6 packs of oil in? Check unnecessary? I just moved the car out the garage, I will drive it later and listen for the noise. I am pretty sure it is just on a cold engine as I heard nothing from during the shop to home trip last night.

Hello, I took my 03 Sonata LX to NTB (National Tire and Battery) to have the alignment fixed. They fixed the alignment and very well at that, but the problem of my car pulling left even when in the right lane of the highway was not resolved. Long story short, they found my front passenger side Camber to be off by -0.7 degrees. Camber on the sonata is unadjustable. Some suspension component is most likely bent, warped, or broken and I was wondering if anyone has had to deal with camber issues and how they fixed the problem. What component was damaged and causing the camber offset? If a part was replaced, did that fix the camber issue? Any and all information is greatly Appreciated! Thank You |

I recently noticed that my inside air button/light must be turned on manually. Previously the inside air circulation would be on if it was on when I turned off the ignition. What is the cause of this. My vehicle is aa 2006 Hyundai Sonatata GLS 4 cylinder w/20,000 miles.

Hello Everyone, I just wanted to get some feedback and see if anyone has had this issue. I currently own a 2003 Sonata lx with beige interior, leather seats. I was wondering if anyone has noticed that the vehicle interior gets extremely hot in the summer. I have owned several other different cars but none got as hot inside as this one. Please let me know.
