You could hope for bad gas or a vacuum hose off, but I would not fool around with it since it is 100% in warranty. The dealer may be able to read the codes and you would not need to leave it over night,

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?

We haven't done anything with that yet. I talked with the service manager on Monday who is waiting for the service representative to call him to see what he's seen/heard out on the field.
 
I also called the 1-800 number and filed my complaints. They are in the process of contacting my service manager to "see what can be done about these matters". Probably nothing, but I don't want to be negative.
 
I know they think I'm wierd. My smell is coming from the window crack when we roll down our windows fully. Must be something to do with the trim or "gasket" material or adhesive they use on the gasket to stick it to the door panel. Not sure, but it's not a pretty smell, that's for sure. I can't understand though why more people aren't complaining about it??? That confuses me big time. But, my complaint is on the record books and HOPEFULLY something can be done about it.
 
I'll keep you posted...you too if you find anything more out about it.
 
Who/where is your dealer?

Very similar frustrations. I've posted since June looking for other smelly complaints. My dealer is in Schaumburg, IL.
