What owners say
I have not owned my 2005 hyundai sonata for one year yet and is experiencing a confusing time with one set of the exterior lighting not working at all, the fuse were checked so I was told that it may be the switch, also the electrical system on the power doors always lock three out of the four doors. The check engine light goes on and off every other week the code says its a oxygen sensor. The lighting it restraining me form driving at night.
Check engine light goes on (and produces code of p0441) . From that point forward, whenever you add gas to the tank, the car hard starts and continually stalls. Purge control valve replacement becomes necessary to eliminate the problem. Online research revealed that this is a common problem with many hyundai (perhaps all) models, and therefore a recall is in order.
Check engine light come on when it rains 2005 sonata and transmission won't shift till the light goes out.
The check engine light keeps coming on. The dealer has tried to fix it three times. The first time the engine light came on the car only had about 12 thousand miles. The light did not come back on for over 10 months. The car now has about 22 thousand miles and the dealer has tried to get the light to go off twice in the last month. The last time was about two weeks ago and the light stayed off for two weeks and now its back on. The dealer kept the car for a week and the light only stayed off for two weeks! The transmission seems to drag when the check engine light comes on.
