Replying to: jhopkins1 (Mar 01, 2009 10:15 pm) When the vehicle will not accelerate properly the vehicle is in the "safe" or "limp home" mode. My 06 V6 sonata has done this. The dealer should be able to read the codes even if you have restarted it and driven normally to them. There is a service bulletin on this kind of problem that you may need a new throttle body. (I'm scheduled to get mine done tomorrow.) Replies to this message: jhopkins1 (Jan 04, 2007 2:10 pm)
#7747 of 7814 Sonata Lights Flickering by mamamia2 Mar 30, 2009 (2:45 pm)
'06 Sonata 4 cyl. lights are flickering at idle speed. It's much easy to notice when looking at the weaker lights, like the rear license-plate lights, or the dome light.   Dealer already replaced my Alternator, which anybody knowing a little bit about cars would assume to be the culprit -- but it still does it. Next step dealer claims is to replace the wires running from the battery with thicker wires. They claim it has been reported before with this model.   Anybody else having any similar experience?
#7748 of 7814 06 Sonota Gas Mileage, what are you getting? by huntet02 Apr 05, 2009 (1:48 pm)
We just purchased an 06 sonota in March with 58K on it and I am only getting approx. 20 - 22 MPG. I live 35 miles out in the country and most of my daily work transit is on blacktop highway where the speed limit is 65 mile per hour so I should definetly be getting much better gas mileage since its mostly all highway. The first week I got the car we got somewhere around 24+ miles per gallon but NOW its averaging 20-22 MPG per the dash readout and is its right this is unacceptable. I came from driving a '95 Camry that with 246K still got excellent gas mileage; I do realize I'm now in a V6 but this is crazy I could be driving what I really like/want (truck) at this kind of gas mileage. I have reported this to Carmax were I bought it from and called my local Hyndai dealer to see what I an do and they are supposed to address this Monday.   What is everyone else seeing gas mileage wise with these cars?

Replying to: huntet02 (Apr 05, 2009 1:48 pm) I had the same problem with my 07. I took it to the dealer. They hooked it up to the computer and it said my mileage was normal. The tech told me it was most likely a cold weather thing. Once the weather got warmer my mileage increased greatly. I had been getting around 33 highway and 22 city last summer, down to 21 highway and 12 city in the winter. When it's warm I'm back up to 33 highway.

Replying to: huntet02 (Apr 05, 2009 1:48 pm) My '06 V6 averages 23 mpg with about 60/40 city/hwy split daily commute. On a recent 150 mile highway trip, it only averaged about 24 mpg with cold and windy weather. Not as good as I would like, but still better than the 15 mpg I got with the '01 Blazer I traded for it.

Replying to: huntet02 (Apr 05, 2009 1:48 pm) I have an '06 Sonata with 62,000with the 4 cyl and get 30+ on the highway and 23 around town consistently on Cape Cod. Not realy a comparison but thats why I did want a V6. Weather does not effect it much. I bet dealer finds a dirty air filter or something. Also, ethanol gas will reduce your miles versus the Camry when that was before ethanol.

Replying to: huntet02 (Apr 05, 2009 1:48 pm) I have 2006 LX V6, and never consistantly get 20 mpg city, although I have once or twice in 15,000miles. My hwy mpg has been in the upper 20's. (25-28), driving about 70+mph. Guess I should add that my overall average from 0-15000 is right at 19mpg. van Replies to this message: huntet02 (Apr 09, 2009 6:21 pm) craigbrooks (Apr 11, 2009 9:33 pm) lightfootfl (Apr 13, 2009 6:38 am)

Replying to: lightfootfl (Apr 09, 2009 7:19 am) Van I've read your email over a couple of times nice gas mileage......whats your secret do you do anything special?? I think the past maintenance on this car is an important factor and maybe it just didn't have all the maint. flushes and things it needed to run right, I think theres a lot of Maint things recommended by Hyundai that have never been done. Carmax where I bought it put a new air cleaner in it and want me to drive though 3 tanks of gas and then report back to them. They say my bra on the front (thats made for the car by Hyundai) is lowering gas mileage...BS, maybe 2 mpg but were off at least 6 MPG I'm still only getting today 21MPG unnaceptable. My local Hyundai dealer says the bra should not make any difference and that they could run some DG fuel cleaner through it and a few other things that would definetly make it run like it should but it would cost $600+ so when this new air cleaner from Carmax doesn't do a whole lot, which it won't I'll be tellling them it needs to go to Hyundai.   What exaclty do you mean that your overall average from 0-15000 is right at 19mpg Replies to this message: craigbrooks (Apr 11, 2009 9:33 pm) lightfootfl (Apr 13, 2009 6:38 am)

Replying to: huntet02 (Apr 09, 2009 6:21 pm) Hunt, Your Hyundai dealer is telling you to do a "BG fuel system" cleaning at $600. Just ask them to sell you a bottle of BG 44K fuel system cleaner (about $20 but worth it) and you'll be on your way. The BG additive is good stuff. Our service dept sells it and I use it once a year in my two cars. I've had the "fuel system" flush done on my Mustang (for other reasons) and did not notice much, if any difference.   It's all in: 1. the gas you use. 2. your foot on the pedal. 3. A good pathway for both the fuel and the air to get to the fuel injectors.   BTW don't take off your bra.....in public.

Replying to: huntet02 (Apr 09, 2009 6:21 pm) Thanks for your interest. Basically I keep all records of my auto maintenance, etc. This includes mileages, so from my initial purchase (actually 9miles on new car) I am now over 18000 miles, and my overall average mpg is just shy of 19mpg, from new to now. I live in Pensacola, FL and my hwy trips are to my daughter in Key West (round trip-1900mi) or family in Panama City (rt of about 250) and my brother's place in MS, also rt of about 250. I try to make my trips at least once a year, more if time and $$ allow. See mileage-for a 2006 only 18K,bought in Feb06. Mostly my trips are local. Anyway, I have done nothing special other than normal oil changes and filters, etc... I use Mobil 1- 5W30, exclusively, and I rotate my tires 5000miles. I keep my tires at 37psi which may a little hard for some people, but better on the tires, and mileage too, and this car is comfortable enough with that too. Hope this helps you. van
