eveyone has to call hyundai and complain its the only way they will do something

Yep... been a member since my first Hyundai back in 06.

You need to come on back over and visit with us more often at the Shack. I am just beginning my second dedicated home theater myself.

Okay.... so who do we actually call to complain to? Do we have a number that would be best?

Rlingo ARE YOU THERE!!

HYUNDAI Stop messing around and fix this suspension. Geez!!

I sent a complaint to my local dealer and guess what they said......NORMAL.....f****!!

They said it was normal back in 06 with those models... but they ended up not knowing what they were talking about. It is anything but normal.

I test drove a ford fusion yesterday just for fun and while it had less power, a little bit noisier and an interior that I did not care for, it shifted up/down smoothly and the suspension was miles better than the Sonata. With the Sonata over bumps it feels harder and louder, but what I do not understand that it is not a road hugging sporty suspension either. It's like it is springy and hard at the same time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) and louder.

Anyone heard anything or have any updates on this?

Thanks!

Good luck with that one! So far Hyundai has done jacksheet about this and the hard shifts! I am very disappointed!!!!

Here too on a Sonata 2007. I don't have any noise from the front suspension but rear is really noisy.

I can describe it as on mild bumps; I can hear a kind of “wobbling” sound. On hard bumps, it's definitely a “knock” sound. It is mostly noticeable near temperature freezing point.

I don’t know if it’s the same for you guys?

Mine is mostly the knocking sound on any little bump I go over.

ahh, the infamous "K-thunk"..

Yup... pretty much the same thing, except noticeably worse on my 09.

It took almost a year to get it fixed on my 06.

Something doesn't make sense here..... They found a fix for the infamous K-Thunk which was affecting all V6 Sonatas from the '06 and early '07 models (no complaints from late '07 or the '08 owners) ---- and then they go back to the same CRAP with the '09?

Leftover parts maybe? They got down to the bottom of the stack and just decided to use those old 06 and 07 parts.

Mine was manufactured in May 2006 but model year 2007. Am I correct to think it falls into the early 2007 and they should replace the strut assys? I bring the TSB to my technical adviser and he's far from sure it will fix the problem. They did replace struts on other car and the customers still complain.

Any other experience that may contradict what is telling me?

This is really driving me nuts!

Cheers to all

Charles

What you described below was exactly the same problem I had with my Genesis - hard and springy at the same time - horribly so. Traded it in for a Mercury Milan (Ford Fusion) - and yes, the suspension is miles better than either the Genesis or the Sonata.
