I received a recall letter on my 2006 hyundai sonata regarding the stop lamp switch. I knew I had this problem, but when I took it in on june 24, 2009, I was told it would cost me approximately $275.00 to repair. I cannot afford such repair. Then the manager of the service dept. Came and offered to repair it for less, but that he would call me later with a quote. I never received such a call. Today, I took my car back to service dept. At 7:00 in the morning and was told it would take until about 7:00 in the evening to repair, when I told them I could not be without a car that long, I was told that they had to see if even my car qualified for this recall. The person came back to say that my car did not. I would like a response to this request. The woman taking down my information did not even listen to the other things I was complaining about, such as a rubber (do not know correct name) fell off from the sunroof and other items. She did not even hear about those item.
2006 Hyundai Sonata lights complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 45 of 45, newest first, as owners wrote them.
2006 hyundai sonata has issues with the brake lights burning out. *nj the consumer also stated the ABS/ESC light illuminated and the cruise control was not working. The consumer was informed a recall had been issued regarding the problem he was experiencing. Recall # 09v122000.
That's the problem there is no serious event leading up to the problem. It is happening because theses cars are not built for safety. I have had my car for 5 months and there are some serious problems, hyundai and you all may not think so but it is. If it was your car that had all of these problems you would be complaining also. Problems that I have with my hyundai sonata: passenger airbag light on every time you crank up, airbag light in the dash board on, check engine light (sensors going bad in the car). If its not equipped for the car don't try something that's going to have people spending out of the pockets and then paying for a car also. Recalls on 06 hyundai sonata what's the purpose if it cant be fixed everything on the recall list is happening to my car. If I had a second chance I would not have bout that '!@#$% from hyundai.
09v122000-I have taken my car to the dealership and they have refused to fix the car as they have not started their campaign yet. My car has no brake lights and the ABS/ESC light is on in the dash along with the check engine light. I cannot shift out of gear without depressing the shift release button.
I recently purchased a new 2006 hyundai sonata. I have had the vehicle to the dealer several times because of headlight issues. Vehicle from factory was blinding oncoming traffic. Dealer adjusted headlights so low that they did not illuminate the road for any reasonable distance. Return trip to dealer resulted in headlights that did an effective job of lighting the trees above. Third trip to dealer has resulted in headlights that do not properly light the road for any distance. I have adjusted them according to the procedure in the service manual, and they perform similarly to when the vehicle came from the factory. They again blind oncoming traffic to the point that I am again being "flashed" by oncoming traffic. I have verified that the lights are very bright to oncoming traffic by driving towards the sonata in another vehicle on a two lane road while another person is driving the sonata. I have received concurrence that others are experiencing this condition via an internet newsgroup. The dealer also states that they have received complaints from others on this issue, and nothing can be done, as they are "the new european style headlights, and they are just brighter".
