#7700 of 7816 Black Grill faded? Use an Eraser! by mamamia2 Oct 13, 2008 (12:15 pm)
Waxing the car can leave some blotches on the front, black grill, and on other black parts (like the black triangle behind the rear door windows) which is very difficult to get rid off, and looks ugly, as if the black color has faded....   Using a a good quality rubber or plastic eraser would do the job nicely! I tried it, it works!

Replying to: marcg99 (Sep 27, 2008 12:39 pm) Marcg99,   I have the exact same problem. Did you have any luck in finding a cause? I am bringing the car in soon to investigate but it would be nice to know if your problem is repaired.   Thanks, Barb
#7702 of 7816 2006 Sonata Shaking/Vibrating by enricong Nov 05, 2008 (10:46 am)
I have a 2006 Sonata GL at 40k. I have noticed two different vibration/shaking problems. 1. sometimes around 75mph, my steering wheel will start to vibrate left and right very fast. This was really bad when I got my new tires, after they rebalanced, it is not too bad. I remember the guy said that he didnt think he could get rid of vibration at that speed, but then found out the wheels were severely out of balance. Also, I do notice that it gets worse depending on my engine RPM (at the same speed), but I have trouble pinpointing. I have also gotten an alignment. Is it normal to have some vibration at speeds like 75mph? or should I go back and try to rebalanced?   2. The entire front, steering wheel, dash, etc will shake as if I am driving over some bumps. This happens if I have a hard stop (not necessarily from high speeds). At first I suspected the brakes, but I noticed that the same thing would happen if I had the cruise control on at high speed and just hit the cancel button. So it seems to be related to slowing down quickly. This problem seemed to exist before I changed my tires too. Could there be something in the engine causing this shaking and the vibration?   Also, when i changed my tires from the orig ones, I ask the tire place if they had any with higher mileage. They said they had some at "T" rating. I didn't know anything about the ratings and asked the person. He told me that it doesn't matter as long as I don't drive above the rated value. Recently when i got my car checked out, the mechanic noted that I have T tires but the mfr tires should be V and that I can have "severely reduced handling" by going down more than one rating. Is this true? Is there a safety concern? I havent noticed any difference, the traction in snow seems to be alittle better but that could just be due to having newer tires.
#7703 of 7816 Replacing tires by selden1 Nov 09, 2008 (9:26 am)
Hey all. Have a 2006 Sonata GLS w/ Sport Package. Tires are Michelin 225 50 R17. I'm pricing out options for replacing right now. Can different size tires be put on this car or do I have to put 225 50 R17's on there? Also, any recomendations? I'd rather not pay over $160 per tire.   Thanks in advance.

Replying to: selden1 (Nov 09, 2008 9:26 am) What kind of driving conditions do you need to accommodate? Rain, snow, high speed, etc.   I've not been happy with Michelin for the past 10 years or so, and while Goodyear isn't my favorite, I've been satisfied with the TripleTred Assurance. It has more road noise than I'd prefer but wet & snow traction is noticably better than the Michelin Energys they replaced. Neither my wife's nor my car have TSC and my wife's car lacks ABS, so any extra traction we can get is a good thing when driving around Chicagoland winters.

Replying to: selden1 (Nov 09, 2008 9:26 am) Look at Kumho Tires. You can get the for around $130 a tire In that original tire size. They also come with a tread wear warranty. They are good. You can use 215 55 R 17.

Replying to: selden1 (Nov 09, 2008 9:26 am) Try link title. Plug in your year, make & model. It will show you several tires for your car, with characteristics of each tire.
#7707 of 7816 Smelly Air from vents by xsubaruonr Nov 21, 2008 (9:33 pm)
I owned 2 06 sonata's and the air from the vents smelled like an old wet musty rag. Hyundai needs to buy evaporator coils with antimold water pans in them. Replies to this message: duke16 (Dec 03, 2008 2:01 pm)

#7709 of 7816 2006 fuel filter replacement by eagle2a Dec 06, 2008 (7:44 pm)
My 06 Sonata I4 Auto only has 10,000 miles on it but I notice that the manual calls for a fuel filter replacement at 30 mo. So my question is how many of you folks have had the filter replaced and how much did it cost?   The reason I ask is the fact that the filter is in the gas tank. "Wow" what a location for a filter. I am sure Hyundai did this for a good reason but, Wow! A nice inline filter I could replace would have been nice!   Any knowledgeable suggestions would be appreciated.
