#123 of 130 Re: Accident Report - 2009 Sonata GLS I4 Auto rear ended [billward] by targettuning Nov 06, 2009 (6:26 am)
Replying to: billward (Nov 05, 2009 12:27 pm) Regarding the XM, while I am not too educated on the details about XM contracts..provisions etc. I too have rented cars equipped with XM but it was not active. I inquired about this with our local Enterprise office and they replied that XM has a 3 month complimentary subscription on the cars they (Enterprise) buys just like the average buyer but do not bother to renew or extend that trial subscription due to the obvious reasons...$$$$$$. I did not know a subscriber to XM in their personal vehicle could temporarily "turn-on" an expired trial subscription in a rental then revoke it once the rental was returned. Seems,on the face of it, more trouble than its worth for XM to bother doing it so maybe that is why they make it difficult to do this. Replies to this message: billward (Nov 10, 2009 5:28 am)

Replying to: targettuning (Nov 06, 2009 6:26 am) You mean XM doesn't undertand the concept of giving people a "taster" to get them interested enough to want service in their own automobile? If I was XM, I'd have XM blaring in every rental car I could, from the day the rental agency got it until it was sold to a private owner (at which point the three month subscription would start) to get folks to LISTEN to XM and want it in their own automobile when they get home (lets face it, 80% of rentals are to folks who are temporarily unable to use their own automobile, or who are on travel; that's a GREAT market to get folks to realize why they want XM in their own car).   The more who listen, the more potential customers you'll have... and the more you make. It's what capitalism is about: show why the customer wants your product, and they'll buy it.   Like I said, XM needs to DIE; they are SO mismanaged, and customer hostile, that they need to just be replaced by a company that gives a darn.
#125 of 130 2009 Sonata interior window fogging by mantag Nov 20, 2009 (5:41 pm)
Greatings all. I have a new 4cl limited. I have noticed on several occasions that after the car has been sitting outside overnite, the interior glass fogs up! I di not find any moisture inside the car, no leaks. yet it fogs up, Similar in daytime too. Does it depend on temp/dew point etc? No other in cars near me fog up. What gives?

Replying to: mantag (Nov 20, 2009 5:41 pm) Do you leave the heating/air conditioning on auto? If you are not using the auto setting you may me trapping moisture if you use recirculate setting. Replies to this message: mantag (Nov 24, 2009 10:32 am) james1982 (Nov 24, 2009 4:39 pm)

Replying to: mantag (Nov 20, 2009 5:41 pm) I have a 2009 limited v6. I have the same issue. no evidence of leak or moisture. But my windows are fogged every morning. even when my other cars are perfectly clear.   On cool nights when I leave work, I look at a parking lot of clear windows except for mine and a friend (who also has a sonata)   I have just accpted that Sonata's windows magically fog up.

Replying to: newowner10 (Nov 20, 2009 6:11 pm) hmmm...can't recall exactly. I use both auto/manual cooling/heating. I can't remember which way I leave it when I turn off car. But, I shouldn't have too - right?   I thought perhaps maybe I leave all the vents in the open position, but who wouldn't? Does that cause outside air to still flow inside to cause fogging on the interior depending on outside air temp/de point/humidity etc??   My main thing is, during the winter I do not want to come outside and have to worry about scraping off the INSIDE of the glass due to outside/inside air temp is below freezing!   Again, it does not happen all the time. Wonder if their is a TSB on this? Would dealer/Hyundai know anything about this? Thanks Replies to this message: james1982 (Nov 24, 2009 4:39 pm)
#129 of 130 Why? Don't know..... by espo35 Nov 24, 2009 (10:40 am)
I think all Sonatas do this.... at least since 2003 model year. I couldn't tell you why. Luckily, their defrosters work extremely well.

Replying to: mantag (Nov 24, 2009 10:32 am) Yep, I notice the same thing in my '09 GLS. I would like to find out some more information on it too.
