Cableguy,
 
You didn't mention whether the fix stopped the noise, so I assume it did. Right? Did it completely eliminate the noise, or did some noise remian?
 
Thanks,,,

After they replaced the 2 rear shocks, the K-Thunk was gone.
They also gave me a full tank of gas for my troubles, as my
dealer lives 30 miles from me ( Harrisburg Hyundai )

My turn for the dealer trip by aauummm

I take the 07 Sonata Limited Ultimate (manufactured before 09/2006) into the dealer on Friday, Feb 2. I have spoken to them about the k-thump in the rear, the service rep said to bring in a copy of these posts, which I will do. I'm having the engine block heater and wind deflector for the sunroof put on. I'm also having the oil changed and Mobil 1 synthetic put in. So far the dealership seems to be very customer service oriented-we'll see how it goes. Thanks again to all for the posts on the k-thump problem. I'll post back here after the service appointment to let everyone know how it went.
 
Cableguy06-I'll try to post a picture of my car with the HID's installed.

I have a 2006 Sonata LX with 6cyl. I have complained about rear end noise since buying the car. The dealer in Waco Tx., who I bought the car from, will only do the fix on the 2007's. She has talked to the Regional Rep and he won't authorize the fix on any 2006's. Hyundai Consumer Affairs contacted and they say the same thing. Neither would give me the Regional Reps number so I could talk with him.
 
Does anyone know a place in central Texas area that is doing the fix on a 2006 that was not purchased from them?

my 2006 sonata goes in on monday. So far they are only changing the left rear shock. Well after they find it only cures 1/2 the problem I will get them to do the other side. Considering the dealers here in Canada do not recognize the problem I figure I am doing ok. Too bad it takes 2 trips to get it right!!

On Monday I'm making my fourth trip over body noises. Last time around they kept it for 9 days while they removed and reglued/resealed the front and rear windows. They fixed the front window noises but the rear is still an issue. They did resolve the creak in the driver side pillar which was due to a bad weld I'm told. ( That's encouraging ) Now there's a new noise in the front dashboard. When will it end?...... I saw someone's review about body noises. I would recommend pursuing the dealer about it. Ask for the Hyundai rep to contact you.

Boy, your experience is so disconcerting. My 2006 LX6 has been noiseless and I did have the rear shocks replaced with no discussion or arguments. It appears that the level of customer service amongst dealers seems to vary widely. My dealer, Hyundai of Westchester in Yonkers NY has been truly outstanding from sales to service.
I think Hyundai has to strengthen their dealership system and instill a strong sense of customer oriented service. It does not appear to be happening with all dealerships.

Back in January, I had reported on this forum that my 2007 LX had a noise comming from the dash (sounds like a baby rattle), a rattling noise from the rear wind sheild, and a loud creaking noise from the front wind shield and frame when driving over some bumps.
 
Dealer had the rear shocks replaced and said that was causing the noise from the rear window. Wrong! Also,the dealer had some fix (recommended by Hyundai) for the front window. Wrong Again! And of course, the day I took the car in, they could not find the dash rattle, so I still have that issue, which is the most annoying of all the sounds comming from this brand new car.
 
If I push the dash in towards the windshield right above the gauges, the noise stops. Then returns a few short minutes later. Makes me think the dash isn't secured properly to the firewall.
 
What a joke!

SE 2007: Rear thumping by ayyadm

Last week I went to dealer (Best Hyundai/Houston/TX) and reported the rear noise. Rep. got me scheduled for Fri. 3/9 at 2:00PM. On time he took the car for inspection and came back telling me that they couldn't find anything wrong. To make the story short I asked him to get 3 people seated in the backseat and 4-5 heavy luggage and drive for 30 minutes on unpaved road. To make it shorter ... I showed him their TSB paper copy with all details, photos and what should they do + the kit number (thanks to you all for posting the details). Took the car again ... 10 minutes latter issue was resolved by ordering new suspensions kit & will call back when they arrive.
 
Will keep you posted
