doors all unlock ?? by decarlow

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.

    Throttle body replaced at 13K miles by tanstaafl12345

    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.

    water getting inside car on floor after car wash by frankcarol

    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.

    broken mirror by raider23

    Hello,
     
    We have an 09 Sonata Limited and my wife busted the passenger side mirror when backing out of our garage. Has anyone out there had to replace their mirror before? I am just trying to get a ballpark estimate of the cost of the mirror and the labor. I am in Texas and will probably take it to Huffines.

    Need input - giving my hubby sonata gift sshhh.. by lahinch

    We already own two Hyundais. Want to buy '09 Sonata Limited - 4 cyl or 6 cyl depends on the price differential.
      
    Paying cash....have purchased cars in the past so am aware of the basics, invoice/tissue, holdbacks etc.
      
    Please help with some very recent experiences that I can learn from as I expect to purchase in 2 weeks.
      
    Is there still a buyer loyalty rebate of $3,500 - does it expire soon?
    Also do not want NAV - but prepared to have dealer tell me that NAV is already installed on all cars that are available...I assume that's not true.
    Thanks, guys!

    2 grand price difference (MSRP) between the 4 cyclinder limited and V6 limited - basically the difference in price is the engine.
     
    Navigation is an optional item on all Sonata trims, including both limited trims.
     
    In terms of the loyalty rebate, I think it's $1,500 (don't quote me on this, as I am not 100% certain). Hyundai is currently running a $2,000 rebate on the 09 Sonata, so the combination of the two do add up $3,500 Plus any deals your local dealer willing to throw in, and you may be able to get a sweet deal right now. Keep us posted, and we'll make sure to keep quiet until after you surprise your hubby

    Dealer prep - need help!! by mcgrotty

    Hi Guys:
      
    Have most of my ducks in a row for 09 Sonata Limited 4 cyc - just a few questions for you experts:
      
    1. Is the dealer prep amount standard or does it vary among dealers?
    2. Are any of your buyers being coerced into taking NAV by salesmen telling you that no Sonatas are available w/o NAV?
    3. What is the best guess re: will the $2K rebate and $1.5 loyalty incentives be renewed for March?
    4. Anyone purchase recently on Long Island in NY - if so, how did ya do??
      
    Thanks - your help is truly appreciated!!

    There should be NO "dealer prep" fee. The window sticker states, "...includes dealer preparation."
     
    It is ridiculous for any sales rep to say that no Sonatas are available w/o nav. I would walk out the door immediately if I were told that.
