#647 of 1003 Re: Valet Key Trunk Lockout Feature [targettuning] by coldgl Oct 01, 2008 (8:26 am)
Replying to: targettuning (Oct 01, 2008 7:13 am) Perhaps I complain too much but there is so little else to complain about with this car. The only other 2 items I can think of to complain about are the suspension "thump" noise on rough roads and the almost too short front seat. Many factors indicate the valet key feature is standard and has been standard (with knobs) until 2009 when they introduced an electronic replacement but not on all cars. Attention to detail could help Hyundai in the race with Nissan and Honda.
#648 of 1003 Rough idle at startup by sharksoup Oct 01, 2008 (6:11 pm)
Anybody had an issue with the 4 cylinder having a mildly rough idle at startup?   Have GLS 4 w/5 speed. Have noticed lately that when starting up in the morning (& evening after sitting all day) that the engine runs a little rough. Starts at about 1300 rpm and idles roughly enough that it can be felt through the steering wheel and brake pedal- after about 30 seconds or so, it settles down to about 900-1000 rpm and the roughness disappears. Is it something tied to the computer? A need to "check" the engine and get everything set before settling in?   Only 2500 miles on the car (oil changed to full syn at 1200 miles). No dash lights on. No other noticeable issues. Runs fine after that initial "warm-up" and getting good gas mileage. Live too far from the dealer to just drop it off and have them keep it overnight to check it out.   Any ideas or opinions would be welcome.

Replying to: sharksoup (Oct 01, 2008 6:11 pm) i have an 09 4cyl. also at start up it idles at about 1500rpm. Today i started it and it idled at about 2000rpm and in about 10 secs. went down to about 1000rpms. I dont know much about cars but if its something i should be worried about i'll take it in to the dealer.

Replying to: audiogal (Jul 07, 2008 10:57 am) I purchased a 09 sonata limited 4cyl. Its a beautiful vehicle, the wife loves it and im happy with it. The A/C doesnt sound loud at all. I really dont notice it. But your best bet is to take it for a test drive and see how you like it.
#654 of 1003 Re: 09 Summer smells [loradora] by loradora Oct 04, 2008 (3:21 pm)
Replying to: loradora (Sep 29, 2008 10:06 am) Nope, mine doesn't have a sunroof, so it's not that reason. I have made a complaint about it and have now bought an air freshener to help mask the smell...sort of dumb to have to do with a BRAND NEW car. I'm hoping they get more complaints and can figure out just what is causing it.   I just picked it up today after it being in the shop for over a week (I got a rental car from them) and they replaced the entire right front strut assembly plus some insulator part and rubber part. No wonder they look at women crazy when they come in. I hope it takes care of it, but I"m sure the left side will need replaced as well...just waiting to hear that "thunk" noise in the left side and it's going right back!

Replying to: sharksoup (Oct 01, 2008 6:11 pm) It is soooooooo nice to hear someone else can verify this problem besides me, I have been going through a nightmare with this car since I have bought it. I will be limited to my answers since I have just started a legal battle with Hyundai, but I will help in anyway I can.   I too have a slight shaking of the car since I bought it. It happens at 1345-1410 rpm and there is a noticeable uneven acceleration of the car. I had a dealer do an in depth check and found the timing is spiking on certain cylinders, I'm talking from 30deg BTDC to 41deg in just certain cylinders. Hyundai says it's normal, I say that 20 grand is a bit much for an inproper working car.   In addition to the skipping, it has died several times, had oxygen sensors replaced, an alignment (pulls left from the factory), on its 4th time for the clutch blowing. Who knows how much more is going to go wrong. I've had my GLS manual for 7 months now and it's been in the shop 23% of the time. in the last 6 weeks, I've had it 7%. Yeah it has been in the shop 93%.   Wanna feel something weird? Start the engine, hold your foot on the brake like your on a downhill (steady pressure) and after 10 seconds you'll start to feel the brake pedal fade to the floor. After 30 seconds or so, it will be on the stopper.   Good luck on getting it repaired, I personally would never recommend this car to anyone.

Replying to: loradora (Oct 04, 2008 3:21 pm) I've had the same awful smell since day 1. I do have a sunroof and thought that was the cause. The dealer has said that other complaints have come in but that nothing could be done at this time. Did the replacement rubber seem to help?
