And as mentioned, you need to drain the torque converter. Open, drain, flush, close (late in the flush, when you know you have the system refilled with a continuous stream), fill. Very different, and much more effective, than drop pan, pour out old tranny fluid, reattach pan, and refill. That would actually scare me in a modern transmission, as it could leave the possibility of air bubbles in the system. |

| Hi. I just bought a used HySon 2006. Can someone please point me to the rear window defrost button? Thanks. | |

Replying to: msallmen (Oct 01, 2009 12:24 pm) I'm 99.9% sure that it is a way to signal that the theft deterrent is armed. Even if the doors aren't armed (i.e. the car honks when the doors ar opened), I think that the light itself is a deterrent. That's my guess. |

Replying to: jal012773 (Oct 02, 2009 5:52 am) As for the red light, it is on top of the dash and blinks whenever the key is out of the ignition. It blinks rapidly when I hit the lock button on my key fob. I agree that it probably just serves as a deterrent to make thieves think the car alarm is armed whether it is or not. However, I could not find any mention of it in the manual. |

Hello. I'm looking to buy my first Hyundai and I would like some advice. I found an one-owner 2006 Sonata V6 with 57,000 miles. The car is in good visual shape but I will be frank, I'm a little bit skeptical about reliability and found mixed reviews when searching general forums. I believe Hyundai improved a lot and I'm almost ready to buy it, the price is good (but not extremely cheap). What should I look for on the car ? I will do a 2nd test drive tomorrow. I've heard suspension and transmission problems from some forums, but it appears that those comments were from people that did not own the car and only "heard" it from a friend of a friend or had the car as a rental. I don't want a car payment, that's why I'm buying used, but I also don't want to spend $3,000 on a new transmission. Your comments are greatly appreciated. I really liked the car and all the features it has, but I'm not sure if I will become a Hyundai owner. Can you help ?
