My driver side visor is broken on my 2006 Sonata (40K miles). It will not stay up. Looked at posts on other forums and they state they have seen the problem before. The dealer saiys that it is not covered under warrenty. I Think it should be as I had also bought the bumber to beumber for 100K. I consider this a safty issue. As anyone els had this problem and how did you get in resolved? Thanks,

Replying to: kimweigel (Jan 01, 2008 8:36 am) Last week they wanted $55 to replace the cabin filter. I said no. After reading in the manual how to access the filter (pg:6-22)... I removed it and thoroughly vacuumed between criss; and in less than 30mn (removing and cleaning it)... except for the discoloration on the intake side...it looks as good as new. (the replacement the Dealer carries is $22+Tx and doesn't appear to be as sturdy as the original filter which came with the car!... The 3M filters look pretty strong!) Then while I was at Lowes it occurred to me to look at the A/C filters they carry... I found one (3M- Filtrete) size 20x30x1 which will make 6 Sonata filters. The size for the 2006 Sonata is: 9" 7/8 x 8" 5/8 : Cost $3.30 per filter if none is wasted. When I got home I googled the forum to see if there are other ideas... and I found your post #297. Reading you post will save me about $4 because Lowes sells them for $20. I will check out HD to see if they are still $16. PS: I just looked on the Internet at HD filters and they carry the same brand but they are $0.51 more than Lowes. .

Reading you post will save me about $4 because Lowes sells them for $20. I will check out HD to see if they are still $16. I went to HD this afternoon, and found an even better set up/deal: They have an A/C line of air filters called TrueBlue where I found size10"x24"x1" which makes 2 Filters... The size 10" fits perfectly in the Sonata air filter holder... all one has to do is to cut to size the other side to make a perfect fit! Just one cut and that's it... and the cost is even sweeter:$1.50 with tax which comes to $0.75 per filter! I left the glove compartment hydraulic attachment/Arm detached to make it easier to replace the filter every few months!

Replying to: tb88 (Jan 04, 2009 1:31 pm) I've read where others have done this but I was unsure about what filter size to buy to maximize cutting vs size vs cost. You've helped out a lot. Good job brother. |

Did you try going to an auto parts store? It will not cost $4 but you may get it for $15. I always thought I was cheap but $20 a year I would buy the Hyundai filter.

I recently purchased a 2009 Hyunda Sonata GLS PSEV. The price with the $2000 rebate was $17,500. I thought I was getting a good deal but when I looked at the warranty line on the bill of sale, there was an additional charge of $2000 for the warranty. All in all, it appears that I paid an additional $2,500 to get the extended warranty for 10 years/$100,000 bumper to bumper. Was I riped off? I thought that the Hyndai came with that warranty for no charge. Anyone have any thoughts? I love the car an ddon't want this to sour that. Thanks!
