#7764 of 7810 Re: 06 Sonota 100K Service [est1971] by dean3927 May 02, 2009 (2:37 pm)
Replying to: est1971 (May 02, 2009 5:32 am) I don't see why the 3.3L would not run past 130K, especially if you have been taking care of it.   Regarding the 100K service, a friend owns an '06 Sedona, and the dealer quoted her $1200 for the 60K service. Took the van to Express Tire, and got the job done for less than $200, albeit sans the timing belt change. However, the shop told her that the timing belt replacement did not even come up in the computer, even after checking a few times. Replies to this message: est1971 (May 02, 2009 3:05 pm)

Replying to: dean3927 (May 02, 2009 2:37 pm) Sorry I was not factually accurate...our car has just crossed 92,000, so I incorrectly referred to the "90K" service interval as "100K". I thank the writer for the suggestion to have this work done prior to 100K in the event there are warranty issues. The $ 2000 figure was also a "worst case scenario"... Hyundai has quoted me $600 for the 90K service, plus ~ $ 200 to replace the serpentine belt (not the timing chain !!), plus ~ $ 250 to replace the iridium spark plugs. At 44K miles, we went with Goodyear Eagle Carbon Fiber tires to replace the Michelins (with mounting, balancing, alignment check, new valve stems, disposal, etc. the Goodyears came to about $ 150 per tire...Michelins would have been about $ 250 per tire). With tax and anything else they can bang me with, I figured I was looking at something close to $ 2000 total when all was said and done.   I would change the 6 plugs myself, but the back three are covered with an agglomeration of God knows what, and I did not want to create more problems for myself by trying to remove this, and then screwing up the engine.   If you think I will get 130 K out of the 3.3L, then I will make the investment, and hope for the best. Thank you !!

#7767 of 7810 Re: 06 Sonota Gas Mileage, what are you getting? [huntet02] by stoutt66 Jul 27, 2009 (5:15 pm)
Replying to: huntet02 (Apr 05, 2009 1:48 pm) Bought my 2006 LX V-6 3 years ago with around 5,000 miles. Car now has 56,000 miles and with a K&N filter I get 29-32 MPG per tank. I drive mostly highway miles around 80%, and have made it more than 525 miles on one tank of gas many times. This car sucks most of the fuel down during acceleration and if you coast to stop signs and turns you can get some great mileage. Sometimes on long downhill rides I will shift into neutral and get insane mileage for short periods of time which helps as well.

#7769 of 7810 brake lite recall by jhopkins1 Jul 29, 2009 (6:20 pm)
I have an '06 Sonata and have not received any defective brake light switch notice. My car would die after accelerating, esc off light and check engine light would come on. FINALLY dealer diagnostic found about 5 error messages that were corrected and so far have worked. I did send a message to the recall people about the problem, it could be dangerous if your car dies on a train track, etc.

#7771 of 7810 Thumping underneath - 2006 Sonota by eldenej Aug 23, 2009 (2:01 pm)
Immediately after purchasing this vehicle three-plus years ago, we discovered that, on rough roads, it sounded as though something was truly amiss in the undercarraige, especially when compared with the several Toyotas and Hondas we had previously owned. At the time, in this forum, others were making the same complaint. After being told 1) it's in your head, 2) that's the way the car was built, 3) we've fixed it, my wife, who drives it 99% of the time, suggested that we give up. But recently we had occasion to stay for a week in a delightful setting that entailed a two-mile stretch of wash-board road; I was reminded how unsatisfactory the car is from that point of view. Hyundai asked me to return it to the dealer, who repeated the mantra just cited. I realize that this is reaching back at this point, but can anyone out there suggest what outcomes they may have experienced around this question? I am about to dump this car, its admirable qualities notwithstanding, but at 24,000 miles.....? Replies to this message: jal012773 (Aug 24, 2009 5:28 am)

Replying to: yokey (Aug 14, 2008 6:58 am) Hyundai has a TSB for the 2007 sonata for a recall about the visors and I believe it also covers the 2006 as well. ask your dealer about the tsb campaign on the front visors as this should be covered under warranty with no mileage or time restrictions!!!
#7773 of 7810 Re: Thumping underneath - 2006 Sonota [eldenej] by jal012773 Aug 24, 2009 (5:28 am)
Replying to: eldenej (Aug 23, 2009 2:01 pm) I'm not sure if it is the same problem, but my 2006 Sonata had a light thumping that could only be heard at low speeds whether on rough or smooth surfaces. The dealer tightened the busing on the lower control arm, which fixed the problem for about 2 miles, the it slowly got worse again. They ended up replacing the left lower control arm and the noise is now gone. I think most the posts on this forum have complained about thumping in the rear end. I never had that problem.
