Well, it turns out that the Hyundai Rep decided to approve the work on the car finally. As mentioned before, this was the third time we took the car in for this issue. We know that there was a TSB and we told the Dealership about it but they kept telling us that this noise was normal. Them mention about taking legal action next probably put the fire in their pants. we took all the steps as listed in order to get this taken care of and it worked. For anyone out there that has issues with dealerships doing their job, just stay on them and in a matter of time they will give in.

| The dealership wanted to repair the problem but according to them their hands were tied because they said they needed authorization to do the job by the Hyundai Corp. The dealership has a huge service center. we should be getting the car back tomorrow so we will see if they did their job. | |

I just bought a used Hyundai 2006 Sonata V6. Has 91,000 miles, but has a very quiet engine and runs great. However, it has the engine rattle on start up. Will any Hyundai dealer repair the problem with the timing chain tensioner, under the recall notice- since the car is within the 100,000/10 year warranty? |

I just went through this issue. We bought our 06' Sonata used and ours did the same thing. After the third time the dealership fixed the problem There is no recall on this problem. You need to take the car to the dealership and have them look at it. At this time the dealership will tell you they need to have the Hyundai Rep look at the car. We were told that this problem is up to the Hyundai Corp to determine whether or not it needs to be fixed. The dealership has to get authorization to do the repair. I think it is a load ob B.S. if you ask me. When we first had the car looked at, the Service Advisor told us by having them do an oil change will quiet the noise. Well we agreed to have it done but the noise only got louder. Keep on the dealership to have a Hyundai Rep look at it. Hyundai has a 60k manufact warranty. Did you purchase an extended warranty? I hope so! Since your manufact warranty is past, you can have it fixed that route with what ever deductable you have on it. If no warranty, the cost will come out of pocket. This is what we have been told. If you have any more questions, write another post and I will help you out. Good luck!

I am not sure what the repair will cost out of pocket. I do know they have to lift the engine to do the repair. It took the dealership 2 days for them to do our repair. Go to Hyundaiforums.com and go to the Sonata V6 forums and you can print out a TSB bulletin and that will not only give some idea of what they need to do to repair the problem but will also show the dealership you have done research about this problem.
