#739 of 1006 Re: What would you buy? [ylz] by dave868 Jan 06, 2009 (8:22 pm)
Replying to: ylz (Dec 30, 2008 1:20 pm) I understand your feelings about the Infiniti interiors. I have realized that I am a bit of an interior snob. My wife had a 2004 G35 and I had a 2005 FX35. Loved both cars, but the interior is not up to german standards. My 2001 330 was a world above. However Infiniti stepped up their game in 2007. The interiors are still lacking when compared to BMW, Audi and MB. But they are holding their own with Lexus and Acura. And power and handling is right there with BMW.   So I still say... you are 30 and single... save the practical cars for your next purchase. Buy a G or if you want to be "practical" check out the new 335d.   0-60 in 6 secs. 36 mpg hwy.
#740 of 1006 Hyundai Sonata Leather Seat Kits by richardrr1972 Jan 07, 2009 (9:00 am)
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
#741 of 1006 TPMS with winter tires and new rims?? by nysniper28 Jan 14, 2009 (11:05 am)
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!
#742 of 1006 2009 sonata clunks by hyundaiguy4 Jan 25, 2009 (5:55 am)
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 Replies to this message: pat (Jan 25, 2009 8:36 am) loradora (Feb 03, 2009 3:56 am) hyundaiguy4 (Feb 20, 2009 11:51 am) jlindh (Feb 20, 2009 1:42 pm) and 1 more... loradora (Feb 26, 2009 12:27 pm) and 5 more...

#744 of 1006 12 Volt Outlet by CGPilot Jan 28, 2009 (12:29 pm)
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. Replies to this message: osaka75 (Jan 28, 2009 12:52 pm)

Replying to: CGPilot (Jan 28, 2009 12:29 pm) I second the question. Thanks for asking it.

Replying to: hyundaiguy4 (Jan 25, 2009 5:55 am) Ohhh, yes! I've been dealing with this since July 2008. They must have changed something in the suspension and on "washboardy" or rough surfaces the suspension sounds/responds horribly!   You can read the old posts, etc. under the thread Suspension Thunk. They did replace my whole front right suspension, which took care of a little noise, but didn't take care of it fully.   I've been contemplating forming an official complaint with Hyundai or taking it back to the dealer and getting my money back.

#747 of 1006 doors all unlock ?? by decarlow Feb 04, 2009 (7:04 pm)
We drove the Sonata SE, 4 cyl. Love the new firmer springs. Great power ! Great looks ! Great Warranty ! We were treated very well ! Agreed on a good price, conditioned on fixing the auto door unlock feature. 2009 owners manual, page 7 states this can be deactivated by dealer.   Car came from the factory set up to unlock all 4 doors when trans. goes to park. This is a safety problem if you pull into the wrong parking lot and encounter trouble. Problem is, so far, Hyundai Zone Rep. and Corporate Engineers can't tell the dealer techs how to do this.
#748 of 1006 Throttle body replaced at 13K miles by tanstaafl12345 Feb 09, 2009 (2:06 pm)
My 2009 Limited V6, bought in July 2008 and now with 13k miles, started surging while on cruise control at 67mph. Then the check engine and esc off lights came on and the engine went into limp mode--a scary thing in the middle of a busy highway. A similar thing happened two more times while not in cruise control while I was driving the car slowly home.   Dealer said trouble code was P2135 (I think) and replaced the throttle body. Dealer service at North Houston Hyundai was excellent. So far the problem has not returned.   I am disappointed that such a new car would develop such a problem but I hope this is an isolated event. I am a conservative driver and have done all scheduled maintenance. Generally I have liked the car, except for the cheap leather (worse than Ford) and a squeak in the rear suspension. It is a comfortable highway commuter, has good power and a good sound system.   Best regards to my fellow Sonata owners.
