Replying to: lmaxick (Nov 01, 2008 6:10 pm) OK, so what you're saying is that it is quite possible, even likely, that I am actually sitting on genuine leather even though it looks nothing like leather when you examine it from the backside or the cut edges? If this is so, I will certainly feel much better about it, but how can one really tell?

Replying to: aalsherri (Nov 01, 2008 6:30 pm) If this is the case, where the part I'm sitting on is real leather, but the seat backs are not, I'm perfectly fine with that.   I guess the lesson learned here is that next time I will just buy the car in the cheapest possible configuration the dealer has to offer and then shop around the auto trim places myself to upgrade the seats afterwards. That way I will have a much better idea of what I'm getting and cut out the middleman in the process. Replies to this message: aalsherri (Nov 02, 2008 9:05 am)

Replying to: ponggod (Nov 01, 2008 9:54 pm) Try to check it. Real leather has no fabric liner. Also, real leather has a distinguished smell and texture. If you feel he used a $200 leatherette seat covers and you paid a much higher price for leather seats, take him to small claim court (Justice Court). You will win the case within minutes without a lawer. I saw many cases at the court for claims as small as $200. First try to work it with the dealer by asking for a big discount because the seats are all made of leatherette . If he refused to budge for any reason, take him to court. The case here is black and white. If only the back is made of leatherette, then you may not have a solid case. I feel many buyers here are paying too much for unnecessary expensive options. Most will trade in their cars within 3-4 years. I saw many 8 years old cars with near perfect condition cloth seats.

Replying to: jm1996 (Oct 29, 2008 6:51 pm) Even on a cloudy day, roll down the window fully and have them smell it. Mine stunk and it was colder/cloudy...not as bad mind you, but it still stunk.   My dealer's name is Wright Hyundai in Wexford, PA. They ordered all new sil trim for the doors, 3 came in and 1 is on backorder. I'm wondering, have they found out there is a problem? I forgot to ask that. So, I'm in the rental car from the dealership until the last one comes in. They have smelled them and they say they smell just fine. Wow....not sure what's going on with that. But, I will be so glad to get in a car that doesn't stink!!!!!   There is also a service bulletin out on our year/model for some armrest cover...so, make sure that gets looked at as well. The service department told me that as it came up on their computer.

Through CarTalk.com I found this site http://www.healthycar.org/home.php which gives a great deal of information about cars smells, the levels in various models, and ways to deal with these issues.

Replying to: wrs4 (Oct 31, 2008 4:34 pm) I don't have a Sonata so I can't say for sure, but it is possible that the 4.54 quarts is the engine capacity while the extra is residing in the filter assembly.
#673 of 1006 Help about a dash! by xxkates1188xx Nov 13, 2008 (5:53 pm)
I have an 09 sonata and recently i had an item of mine fall behind the lower console where the two consoles meet...This is only able to happen when the lower console is opened.. I was hoping to find a dash of some kind to figure a way to remove the "door" so to say and get behind to get what i've lost.. there has actually been two occurences now of my losing belongings in that hole due to them falling out of the upper console...which is a huge con for me and the car! So if anyone one has idea idea of what to do in this situation please reply!! Thanks!   Katy Replies to this message: newowner10 (Nov 15, 2008 4:51 am) xxkates1188xx (Nov 15, 2008 7:29 am) newowner10 (Nov 16, 2008 5:22 pm) fscot (Nov 16, 2008 3:44 am)

Replying to: loradora (Oct 14, 2008 2:37 am) Loradora...   What's the word on your car since replacing the odorous window parts? Did it improve? Replies to this message: loradora (Nov 15, 2008 5:53 am)

Replying to: xxkates1188xx (Nov 13, 2008 5:53 pm) I have a 2009 Sonata are you referring to the narrow slot below the lower door? If that is where the stuff fell through you must be losing CD/DVD's . You could easily block that with a little black tape. I have not looked into how to get stuff back out yet. Could you reach around the back of the console?

Replying to: jm1996 (Nov 14, 2008 7:36 pm) Yes! That took care of the smell. Now, I am waiting until they get wet just to make sure. (see how often I wash my car?) LOL The service manager was totally perplexed as one day he would come in and it would stink really bad (it was lying on the counter) the next day he would come in and it wouldn't. But, they replaced all four and we just got back from a trip to S. Carolina and drove with our windows down and no smell!   So, replacing them all took care of it it seems.   Are you going to ask that they replace yours?   I can't figure out why some stink and some don't. He said I was the only who has complained of this problem so far.   Now to tackle the noise suspension!
