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.

Thumping underneath - 2006 Sonota by eldenej

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.....?

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!!!

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.

Front end noise by tisble

I have a 2007 Sonata SE with a 3.3 liter engine. I'm getting a noise in the left front(clunk that changes with forword motion) that happens when I brake and turn at the same time.
   The dealer told me they could find nothing wrong with the left side but i needed a ball joint on the right side. they replaced the ball joint under warranty and sent me on my way... I still have the noise in the left front.. Has anyone had anything like this???

Mine is coming from the right front, but only clunks when you shift into a different gear or when you take off from a stop. I have a 2007 SE with around 36k miles. Is that stuff covered beyond 36k? I believe the bumper to bumper only goes till 36k miles?

I had a clunking noise in the left front of my 2006 GLS V6 that could be heard at low speeds, forward and reverse, turning or straight. Don't know if it's the same problem you have, but my dealer replaced the left lower control arm. Noise is gone.

Bumper to bumper goes 5 years or 60,000 miles and drivetrain is 10 years and 100,000 miles so between these two you should be covered.
