Are you talking about the interior air temp or the seat temp?

I am talking about everything that consists of the interior. The Car Seat,, the interior surface of the door. Esp the Dash and Steering wheel. Even the back seat (including arm handles which is usually not in the sunlight get very hot. The reason I am asking is because my dealership has told me this is typical of the 2003 sonata. A design flaw as they've told me. However, this is the hottest I've ever experienced the inside of a vehicle getting. Hotter then other cars with black interiors. If anyone and especially any 2003 Sonata owners have this experience or any info, please let me know.

We own a 2004 Sonata LX that is pearl white exterior and black leather interior. It's my wife's daily driver for the last 4 years and she has never complained about it being too hot in the summer. She was a little concerned about that when we bought it, but now says any new car she gets will have a leather interior and be a dark color (her preference).

My Sonata is an '05 with cloth interior and I don't find it unusually hot. I do leave the front windows cracked about an inch (each).

Gas fill-ups without unscrewing gas cap by macakava

For those like me who dislike unscrewing/removing the gas cap at each fill-up, just use the Install Fill cap by Stant. PN is 41004 for my 2007 Sonata Ltd and it should fit 2006 and up year models. This cap replaces the original cap and fillups are simply done by pushing the pump handle hose tip through the spring mounted door.
 
I bought mine from the local Advance Auto auto parts store. Other stores should carry or order it.
 
I have done the same for my wife's Ody 4 yrs ago..
 
It's the lazy man's way to gas up!

hey george,
 
this is the exact problem I am having on my 2006 sonata. did you ever find out what the problem was? I have had the gas pedal assembly replaced and now looking into the throttle position sensor.
 
thanks in advance,

Hi James,
 
Yes, it appears that they finally were able to fix it. They ended up replacing a sensor in the accelerator pedal linkage. I'm surprised that replacing your gas pedal assembly didn't do it, but the problem may be between those parts and the engine. I can dig up more info from my service receipts if needed. Before they succesfully repaired mine, they tried relacing the throttle position sensor and adjusting some electronic settings in a control located under the fuse box (twice). None of those things did it, just the last fix several months ago with the accelerator sensor. Let me know how it goes!
 
I enjoy our Sonata, but it has had a laundry list of things that needed repair under warranty, more than even any used car I have ever owned.
 
George

Re: US warranty transfer to Canada? NOT! [lxlover] by lxlover

Well, after months of hounding Hyundai Canada they have given in, sort of, and are honouring us with a 5 year warranty for our US-to-Canada cars. Not quite the 10 year we paid for but I guess it's better than nothing. We really like the cars, and they are both paid off, but our next vehicle, when the time comes, will hopefully be some form of alternate energy vehicle, probably electric. Also, we are not overly enthused with the Hyundai dealer in Victoria, BC. They are more expensive than the US service and at the moment nowhere near as nice as Arrow Hyundai in WI. We loved that dealer and now really miss them, they took very good care of us. Oh well.
