I have to agree with "oviraptor". My problems with my 06 mirror his/hers. My battery didn't die but I replaced it as preventive medicine for a cold global warming winter here in Monatana. BTW I've never owned a Dodge Caravan.

Sonata rocker panel trim question by backy
Nov 24, 2009 (10:49 am)

I've noticed on some 2006-8 Sonatas, the rocker trim panel, which is plastic, is pulled out in the back so there's a noticeable gap with the body panel. I just saw this on another 2007 Sonata today, which I was looking at as a possible purchase. The car was very clean besides this flaw. Since I've seen it before on used Sonatas for sale, I am thinking it's not cheap to fix--otherwise the seller would have done it before putting it up for sale.
 
Any 2006-8 Sonata owners see this before, and have an idea how to fix it (and how much it would cost)? Does the entire rocker panel cover need to be replaced, for example, or is it just a cheap "clip" that needs repairing (which is what I've heard two dealers say--but if true, they would have fixed it I think).

Road or Tire Noise by quadro101

I own a 2006 4 cylinder Hyundai Sonata GL(SportsPackage) Sunroof, automatic,etc. I am very satisfied so far with the overall operation of the vehicle. It has around 47000 miles on it and I purchased it used 2 months ago.
 
It has 2 new tires P21560R16 Mirada Sports GTX on the front and the original 2 tires P21560R16 on the back.
 
I notice when the speed of the vehicle is below 45mph road noise is more pronounced. Above 45mph road noise is noticebly less. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Do you think the tires could be the cause or is it something in the suspension?

I'm thinking of installing a remote start w/ keyless entry system on my '06 GLS V6. Does anyone know if doing this will void any part of the car's warranty?

Trans Flush by mom72

I took my 2006 Sonata to the dealership because it was make a grinding noise. The dealer told me it was the torque converter; however the transmission fluid is so black that they would recommend having a trans flush and see if that will solve the problem (which it didnt). Called them, they now recommend that i have the torque replaced. This is a $2000 job. I did some checking around and found out that the WORST thing the dealership could have done is a trans flush. Adding new detergents into the car now is more harmfull then good. If the torque converter is bad, then that is what needs to be replaced and then you add what is needed. The new fluid will mix with the old. I have a specialist looking at the car now. Before I left the car with him, he told be that the trans fluid is still very black. So who is right?

First thing... how many miles does the car have on it? If it's under 60k, the transmission is covered under warranty. If it's under 100k and you are the original owner, the tranny is covered under warranty.
