Sedans Hyundai Sonata 2009-2010 Hyundai Sonata

You are in the Hyundai Sonata Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
I have been driving my 2009 Sonata 4cy at with pop.opt 2 around for a week now. On smooth roads the car drives nice. On rough roads there are rumble sounds coming from the suspension (independent suspension on each wheel) the noise is more pronounced then on my toyota matrix. My take is that the suspension is not dampened enough. My 3 other complaints are no foldaway mirrors ( I have a narrow garage entrance) should have three cup holders instead of two in front console-my small matrix has three and the shift design-needs a arrow or light to tell you what gear you are in as the design is different than the toyotas. I can live with these plaints as I have a lot more car for about the same money that I would have paid for then Toyota matrix. So far I am getting about 24-25 mpg locally. Have not driven it on a highway yet. Suspect that if enough people complain about the rumble, Hyundai might devise a fix.

I have a 2007 V6 with cloth interior. I am considering upgrading to leather seats. I saw some kits on ebay for around 400 dollars that claim to be the same as what the dealers use. Also, they recommend it be professionally installed as the cloth has to be removed and there is also the issue of the side airbags being damaged. I'm wondering if I should buy a kit and take it to a detailer or dealer and have it installed. Go to a dealer and just say I want a leather upgrade and have them do everything. Or finally, just go right to a detailer instead of a dealer and have him do everything. What I don't want is poorly fitted seats that look like someone threw covers on them and or possibly risking my side airbags not deploying if I were to be involved in an accident. Does anyone have any advice other than to tell me to keep the cloth interior. thanks, Richard |

I am in the proceess of purchasing new rims and winter tires for my wifes 2009 sonata limited, I can add TPMS sensors for $208 from tirerack.com but dont think I am going to get them. Will this be a problem? I am guessing that just the light will stay on all winter...but when I put back on the original tires in the spring will I be able to hookup the TPMS myself and will it work, will I be able to UNHOOK it as well from the original? I guess I'm not even sure where the heck this TPMS is on the tire and if I WILL BE ABLE TO DO IT MYSELF when I change the tire/rims or do I need a professional to install it? Any suggestions would be great thanks? PS....TPMS is dumb as far as I'm concerned, I usually check my tires at least once a week anyways! |

I was wondering if any one out there besides my self has purchases a 2009 sonata and has noticed suspention noise? I purchased my sonata last week and noticed it has a clunking sound while driving mostly from the right side. I took it to the selling dealer and went on a ride with the service mgr. he told me that they have had many complaints and that there is nothing they can do he said to complain to hyundai and that enough people complain maybe they will issue a service bullitin. i cnt believe that a car with 174 miles on it sounds like it has 174,00 miles on it and needs struts . hope they figure this out soon this is my 4th hyundai and will be my last if it is not corrected soon

I recently purchased a 2009 Sonata Limited. Does anyone know if there's a way to (easily) re-wire either of the 12 volt outlets so that they are powered without the key on? I'd like to be able to charge my cell phone or GPS without the key, yet both the outlets are controlled by the ignition key.
