You are in the Hyundai Sonata Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
| While the steering is numb, as you don't really feel it, I can say it will go where you want it to. I've done a little high speed stunt driving (I like to test a cars limits at times) and had no problems with control. I've had my 09 i4 Limited for 3 months and enjoy driving it daily. For me it has enough power for everyday use, and it gets excellent mpg on the highway (35-36) on longer trips. If someone is in the market for then they definitely owe it to themselves to at least test drive one. | |
| Thx, all, That eases my mind some about the steering. | |

Replying to: techmcag (Nov 21, 2008 11:33 pm) My '08 Sonata also has this problem. I think the noise comes from where the dash touches the windshield. The car body flexes to some degree when going over bumps and uneven pavement causing the popping noise and it's a bit worse in cold weather. I was hoping Hyundai would have fixed that in the '09 model redesign by putting a rubber strip where the dash meets the windshield... but looks like that didn't happen. I also had a problem with the clove compartment door making noise and had to put extra stick on rubber pad stops between the top edge of the glove box door and the dash to tighten up the door. The latch design holding the glove compartment door shut is all plastic with no mechanical latch adjustments possible which can cause the door to rattle when driving on bumpy roads. |

Have you tried tracking down the noises with any service people, or is it just not worth the effort? I also have a rattle coming from my back deck that is caused by the subwoofer. They have looked into that before but have not completely gotten it out. I think that is much easier to fix and track than the noise coming from the dash. I have not been able to pinpoint where it is, but you are right...it sounds like it is coming from up near where the dash and windshield meet. I really wish there was a fix for it as it has gotten worse for me in the colder weather. It was not there before October or so.
