I bought a 2008 Sonata last month and the following has occurred: the passenger airbag disabled light keeps coming on even when there's nobody there. One of the trunk suspension air-shock cylinders failed. My passenger side back floor-board filled with water after a heavy rain. The Dealer tried to send me away when I arrived for service. They said my warrenty didn't cover me. All of the problems are covered. This is my first Hyundai and it will be my last. |

Sounds like you got a lemon of a dealer. Everything IS covered --- unless you left your trunk open during that rainstorm. |

My Sonata will hit 31000 miles tomorrow and it has been perfect. Never been back to the dealer. If problems persist, check your state's lemon laws and also complain about the dealer. Those problems are covered and a reputable dealer will be happy to fix them for you. |

I suggest that you call Hyundaiusa and ask to talk to the warranty department and tell them of your experience with the dealer. Old_Timer |

There are indeed some bad dealers out there, but I have a very hard time believing this story as it is relayed. -- -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net |

Hi, cobber here in oz we call the leather seat and bit upmarket model the Elite . Bloody thing is indestructible given what I and others throw at them on dirt roads and how we hammer them. Still tight as a drum and no bits falling off (unlike the other 7 makes in the fleet) No dust inside every thing "just works" Come May we are ditching the holdens and falcons & camry's and going all Hyundai average fuel burn on the 4's is 8.12 litres per 100KM with air con going full blast . Turn off the emergency brake(the air con) we get on 1 vehicle 7.78 per 100KM HOWEVER! tow a box trailer and it jumps to about 11 |

Something doesn't smell right... The passenger airbag disabled light should come on when there is nobody there! You should be concerned when it comes on while there is someone on the seat.. |
