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.

Replying to: hyundaiguy4 (Jan 25, 2009 5:55 am) 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. |

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. |

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. |

| We discovered water on the floor of our new hyundai the morning after a carwash shortly before Christmas. We waited for a loaner and took car in. They could not replicate problem at their car wash and with water hoses, according to them. We took the car back and and went to our car wash immediately. We noticed water again the next day, but were discouraged from waiting for another loaner since the dealer implied their search could uncover nothing. They attributed it to the car wash we used being too "strong". We again noticed water, this time on floor of driver's side,under mat when we had not used any car wash. We took it in and they wiped up water and again told us they could not figure it out and we could wait for another loaner. Now the passenger side window does not work. They have the car now and have told us that they tried our car wash and so far cannot detect water. We wonder if the extreme cold weather might be part of the problem, which had abated when they tried out the "strong" carwash this time. The water that initially appeared on the floor of the back seat did not drip from above. There is no sign of water on the seats or walls. | |
