I just wanted to up date you guys, I did exactly as you said, I put a pan underneath the car collected all the leak overnight, and took it Huffines of Plano, Tx. I went there and showed them the leak, now they said leave the car and they will check it out. After they kept the car they found that the sealer was omitted on the sealing surface, of the pan of the Oil This is what they said "" Screen Assembly Leaking Oil sealer Skips and omitted on Sealing Surface, removed and resealed properly """
I just got it back , I will report back if it still leaks.
 
FYI NO apology from them, as when I took it first time they flatly denied any leak, and they made me look as if I was making it up.
 
Even today when I showed them the oil I had collected, the gay asked me as me " Is this Oil from this Car" like saying I collected from some other car.
 
Beware of doing any business with Huffines of Plano.

My dealer said the feature is automatic on the 2009. After locking the car with the key fob and then unlocking it with the valet key, the trunk release switch is deactivated. It is still unclear if the rear seat latches are also deactivated. I have an appointment Monday to get this feature fixed on my Sonata. The sales staff got it to work on a Sonata on the showroom floor but mine doesn't work.

TPMS by sharksoup

Anyone have any insight into the tire pressure monitoring system?
 
I'm considering buying an extra set of steel wheels to mount snow tires. Made a few calls, including the dealership. Found that the base steel wheels are about $70 BUT the TPMS units are an additional $55 each - makes the setup cost $500. Needless to say, I'm rethinking that option as it seems a bit expensive.
 
Went on to question dealership further and was told that should I swap off the tires on the factory rims, I'll have to make a trip to the dealership to have the TPMS reset. Any experience with places like Sears or Walmart resetting the TPMS if it's needed? Or will the computer "learn" the setting over again if the tires are swapped?
 
Of course the alternative is to just forgot about the TPMS during the time I have winter tires on - then would likely have to live with a dash light being on all the time.

But then you will have to add them back to your regluar wheels. Yes you will get a light. It might just be cheaper to get the TPMS. Since taking them on and off can get just as expensive. Then you won't have to worry about the TPMS.

I used to think I wanted the TPMS....now I'm wondering if the system is more bother than it's worth. I don't have any trouble keeping my tires inflated and by the time the TPMS system told me a tire was low I probably would have noticed it anyway.

I tried it on my sonata and the trunk opened with the switch no matter what I did. Let me know what happens.

Valet trunk lockout by coldgl

I brought my Sonata to the dealer yesterday to have them diagnose/repair the lockout function because the sales staff said all '09 Sonatas should have this. Their method of dealing with this was to confirm that there were no lockout knobs on the rear seats and checking other vehicles on their lot. Since some vehicles had the function and others did not, they told me mine doesn't have the function. They apparently did not do an electronic check. I plan to pursue it further as I feel it is an integral system when they issue a valet key with the vehicle.

Awful smell confirmed by jm1996

Bought my 09 Sonota in May. Noticed that it smelled like B.O. the next day and every sunny day thereafter. Dealer service has confirmed that he has three others that hove come in with the same issue. Dealer service says its a problem in the front door moldings that the manufacturer is looking into fixing. But no solution yet.
 
Looking for additional input from any one else who's in this predicament...and you definitely know who you are!
