#7771 of 7813 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: 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.
#7774 of 7813 Front end noise by tisble Sep 07, 2009 (4:44 pm)
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???

Replying to: tisble (Sep 07, 2009 4:44 pm) 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? Replies to this message: targettuning (Sep 08, 2009 6:31 am)

Replying to: tisble (Sep 07, 2009 4:44 pm) 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. Replies to this message: espo35 (Sep 28, 2009 4:28 pm)

Replying to: scarman25 (Sep 07, 2009 5:27 pm) 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.
#7778 of 7813 Hyundai by caaz Sep 11, 2009 (7:36 pm)
I am LOL at the quotes est1971 got for his service. That dealer you got the quote from back in May certainly saw you coming. A serpintine belts cost about $30.00 and most mechanics will put it on for $20.00 Irridium spark plugs cost no more than $10.00 a piece tops. I'm not sure why he is worrying. A timing chain makes an engine fairly bullet proof for about 300, 000 miles.. i just sold my 99 honda accord yesterday, Sept 10, 2009 for 3600.00. It had 220,000 miles on it.. Any of these cars now days, hyundai, honda, toyota, nissan, should all do that kind of mileage without any problem at all as long as you take care of them.. Good luck and happy motoring. Caaz

Replying to: duke16 (Sep 19, 2009 2:10 pm) At $99.95, it's probably a good deal; I've had problems with old coolant (gets gunked up after a while) and you especially need to monitor the transmission fluid level and keep that degunked.
