So far, I am very pleased with this car. I traded-in a 2005 Honda Odyssey EX-L minivan for this car, as my wife's 2009 Toyota Venza V6 AWD Touring (that's a mouthful) now serves as our "family" vehicle. After test driving both the 2.4L and 2.0T versions of the Limited trim, I couldn't resist the extra power and firmer sport suspension of the turbo. Thus far I have been averaging 8.2 l/100km (29mpg), which I consider exceptional for this level of performance. I only have 2 criticisms so far:
1) The door to the glove box squeaks when going over broken pavement. Hope to have this addressed at my 1st dealer service.
2) I find the gauges too bright at night. If adjust the gauges to an acceptable brightness for dark rural highway driving (pretty much all the way down), I can no longer make out the radio/hvac display. Anybody else notice this?
Otherwise, lovin' the turbo!
Good luck just read the instructions and get the margins line up and they fit good.
Maybe somebody that has actually used a lemon law could chime in. I read a lot of posts where people say they are going to use but can't remember reading any where they came back and reported they were successful.
Thanks,
I am looking for a car, is 2011 Hyunday Sonata worth the trouble? I love the look, love the way it drives (I was able to drive it few times on short distances at work). I am about to schedule a real test drive. Do you like it, any info would be great, pros/cons?
thanks
You better not use you cell phone, TV remote control, xray or sun spots
All you succeeded in doing, was (in a futile attempt to insult) indicate how little you really know about EMF.

But I will (also) leave you with the consideration that there must be some valid reason that patients with pace makers often have special considerations to weigh with electrical devices they interact with and the reasons go far beyond liability.
EMF. It's a force to be reckoned with, and IMO, shouldn't ever be taken for granted. It can be friend and foe.

As for pacemakers it is the EMF effecting the pacemaker that is the problem not in its effect of the person.

I believe the only way this will ever be fixed is if enough people contact Hyundai and even more sue for lost damages and probably the fix is to replace the lock altogether.
The dealer determined that they needed to replace the remote module on the car as it seemed to trigger itself. Since they have done this I have not had the problem any longer.
In my case it was not a problem with the lock but rather an electronic component for the remote unlocking feature of this car.
I do not agree with the dealership telling someone to secure the trunk and and not use the remote. There is definately a problem. Again, this is the fix that corrected the problem on my car. I hope this helps.
I have the same problem and want go for the lemon law.
Can you plase email superfixus@hotmail.com me some details on the procces . I live in New York , leased in New Jersey .

Consumer Report rates 2011 Sonata above average reliability based on 2010 sales. Also, Camry and Altima get complete model change in Fall 2011.
This has fixed his pull problem. There are 5 new 2011 Sonata in the family and no one is having a pulling issue. They range in mileage from less than 1000 to almost 20,000. I have had mine since May 2011 with no problems.
These car have been made since Dec. 2009 so while they are 2011 models they are into the second year of production.
Meanwhile I will wait to read of this problem being resolved before considering a Sonata. I think they use kUMHO or Hankook tires, which would cause me to suspect the tires right away.
But any brand can have a problem. I have Fuzion HR's on my Civic, made by Bridgestone, and we had to replace a couple of them due to a radial pull...the car pulled to the right within seconds. After a few location swaps, it was decided to start replacing tires & they did get it right. The point I'm trying to make is that any brand of tire can have a problem within which makes the car pull in either direction...it is not brand specific. I've had this same problem with a Toyota Corolla years ago and again, it was due to the tires and they were Bridgestone's.

According to an April 27 comment by Jeff at the CR link above, Hyundai posted a TSB re: Sonata tracking issues at hmaservice.com as of 4/21/11, but for some reason I cannot register there to access it--
If someone here can track it down, please repost it here?
TIA
I have never had a pull left problem with my 2011 Sonata. My car was made in March 2010.
I keep the tires between 34-35psi. I have started to notice the rear has a distinct oscillating "thrum" noise when driving over 40mph. No vibration or anything, just a constant "thrum-thrum-thrum-thrum". Could be a wheel bearing failing or could just be the tires...not really sure at this point. The car is just noisy.
Another indicator that it is getting noisier is that I used to keep the stereo volume at "9", but over the past few weeks have needed to use "10" or "11" to clearly hear radio programs over the road noise. Also needed to increase the Bluetooth volume to hear phone calls.
If I end up keeping the car much longer, I may have the dealer look into it. Based on the current list of issues I have with the car, it would take the dealer a week to sort through it all (the dealer has already said the one problem I have will require complete removal of the dash to fix)....might as well add the rear tire/wheel noise to the list.
I have looked at several other cars recently, including some much more expensive. I have found none so far which offer any way of securing the trunk from anyone who has access to the cabin. Older cars often have some way of doing this.
I think this little item does not get enough publicity.

I wish we had that on the rag top.

Don't know exactly what causes this. My Khumo are doing the same thing after 18K of very even wear. I do know that unibody (no separate frame) vehicles of all makes are more prone to this.
The OEM Kumhos are wearing very well, although I would probably be inclined to replace them when needed with Michelin Primacy MXV4. The Michelins are the same price as the OEM Kumho at Tire Rack.
