Adams Detailer Spray

Just thought I'd share this with everyone. I've always been a passionate car detailer/car guy. I have always used Meguiars detailer spray. I just recently thought I'd use Adams detailer spray since I am already using their Graphene ceramic coating. I just went to de-polenzie (:-)) My Sonata N which had a thin layer of yellow disgusting pollen on it, and wow, the spray really doesn't streak, and with a microfiber towel, everything comes right off within few seconds. It really does smell like a nice scent of bubble gum as well. I just wanted to share my thought about this quickly here.

2024 Sonata SEL

I'm considering buying the 2024 Sonata SEL trim AWD. There's no convenience package included, but comes with some accessories/kits. This is the rate that the dealership gives. Is this a fair fair rate?

Plug in hybrid trunk size and tax credit question

Hello all, currentlt looking at buying a 2019 sonata plug in hybrid. My question is if it can fit a set of golf clubs or 2 in the back? My dad and I play a lot of golf so it would be really nice to get both sets in the trunk.

Also does anyone know if this qualifies for the federal tax credit? I called a dealership to ask but haven't heard back in 2 hours. I've seen things online say it both does and does not. So I wanna be sure before I drive 6 hours for it.

DCT Transmission

Hey everyone, I love my 2- month old sonata n! She’s great. Is there a “best practice” for the DCT? I have never owned a DCT car before…. Any do’s or don’t’s. I have been very OCD conservative With it so far, but still want to know if I can start shifting with it aggressively etc? I have driven with it in manual mod with is tons of fun of course! Thanks a bunch for any insight or suggestions.

2020 SEL Plus color changing

Has anyone ever made some sort of program that allows you to change the color of your speedometer and such? Would be amazing to do so. Thanks

2020 Sonata hardwire dash cam, front and rear

Anyone have experience hardwiring a dash cam to a DN8 Sonata? I was having trouble figuring out which fuses to tap into. I wanted to use one of the empty slots but I was having trouble with my multimeter so I wasn't able to see which of them could be active. I ended up tapping my ACC into my cluster fuse and my battery into the trunk. Both are 10 amp fuses but I may reroute it. Anyone who has done this, I would love to know where you tapped into. Thank you!

N Badging

Hey all, for all of the N Line people here, have you upgraded the looks of your brake calipers at all? Painted them, or put caliper covers on them etc?

lso, have you thought about L line door sill carbon fiber stickers from amazon. specifically for the 2024 model year, i found them on amazon. and had messaged the seller, because Hyundai put a grey plastic piece on the metal door sill area, and only the smaller size would fit. Here's a link to it. What does everyone here think of these ideas?

What’s the difference?

Hey everyone, for the n’s here, when you’re driving and want to pass people quickly on the road, do you just manually paddle down, or switch to sport mode? I barely use the other modes, because we’ve got the paddles, and the engine is soo damn torqueie . 😂 thanks, Im just really curious. The problem is the fact that under 4 mph, or when you’re”gently” on the throttle, the transmission will auto switch from manual mode to automatic mode.

2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport Engine

Hi all, my wife’s sonatas check engine light came on and is shaking. It has been in the shop several times due to overconsumption of oil. There is currently not a warranty on it. Do you know if this is covered by a class action lawsuit? I couldn’t find anything online but the shop we normally take it to said it should be covered last time due to a class action lawsuit. Just want to check before I take it to the dealership and they ask for an arm and a leg to fix/look at it. Tia

Why no USB ports in the back seat on the 2023 Sonata SEL?

By the only person who thinks that this is totally absurd?

Serious Rumble in the Replacement 2.4L GDI Engine for My 2014 Sonata Limited

The 2.4L GDI engine in my awesome 2014 Sonata Limited was replaced by Hyundai in November 2019 after the engine stalled while I was driving. All was well for the next 4.5 year but lately, there is a clear rumbling sound that comes and goes from under the hood of the car each time the car is moving - but not when the engine is idling. The rumble can be heard, off and on, whether I'm driving slow or fast, on smooth roadways or bumpy roadways, whether the car is reversing (backing out of the garage) or in Drive (happens no matter which gear I'm in). None of the engine lights are on. My regular mechanic ran the diagnostics (nothing) and inspected the car to see if there was anything that needed tightening under the hood or the chassis which might be the source of the rumble - again, nothing. At my mechanic's recommendation, I took the car to the Hyundai dealer last week. There, the tech concluded that "the noise is coming from the exhaust and is a normal rumble, the visual look over and everything looks good, nothing abnormal, If noise gets worse or more frequent, then recommend bringing it back for further diagnosis." I inquired if he, too, had determined that the rumble was coming from under the hood (since his diagnosis refers to the exhaust). He agreed, saying the pushing of the exhaust out of the engine was what triggered the rumble, but since the exhaust was moving back and out the exhaust pipes like it should, I had nothing to worry about. Well, I'm a bit worried. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

23 N line

I've had my 2023 N line for a year and a half, the electronic thermostat went out around 16k miles, started get a big vibration in the steering wheel. They say the rotators are worn at 26k miles. I also have the lurching forward when I stop the car. It also shifts really hard. They say it's just the way the transmission works. This is my second sonata, I loved my last one, am hating this one... anyone else?

Fuel Range

On a full tank of gas, on my 2024 N Line, if i really fill up my tank i've gotten 406 miles out of a full tank of gas. it's apparently very hard to reach that range number though. What about everyone else here though?

Manual Mode

Hey everyone, with my brand new 2024 Sonata N, does anyone know if there's a way to stay in manual paddle mode even at a stoplight or whenever you're stopped, I had a 2018 accord sport 2.0t and it was able to do that. Just out of curiosity.. Thanks a bunch!

April 2024 OTA Update

Seems like this OTA update went out to a bunch of 2023 and 2024 cars, both with Gen5W and ccNC infotainments. Anyone else have a 2024 Sonata and successfully update? Mine seems to have broke the navigation & maps function; it no longer shows up in my infotainment and cannot be used at all..

Quirks and features

Some quirks and features

Hey, so I know this is going to sound a bit OCD which I am (😂) however, I’ve noticed that since the weather is getting nicer and warmer, and then opening my windows, that the rubber weatherstripping and lining around the window door, when you close the window doesn’t leave a very pronounced/visible mark in the window. As you can tell I’m obsessed about keeping my car clean and detailed on my 2018 accord sport, when I would open my windows a third of the way down, or whatever I wanted to, the black weatherstripping would leave much more visible lines and it drove me nuts! I was always constantly detailing the marks off my windows. I noticed that with my headline that there are still very light lines but they’re barely visible. I just want to mention that quickly because for uptight people like myself that makes a big difference. Ha ha

Battery Question

Hello! My sonata is an nline 2022 and seems to be accelerating a bit less than usual. During the winter my battery died and couldn't be jumped but was fine the next day when it warmed up.

The car seems to be running fine but the acceleration just seems less zippy. Is this problem connected or is it something else?

2018 sonata se oil issues

I had bought a 2018 sonata se at the very end of January with 62,000 miles, from a certified dealership, it is now at 65,000 and just the other day I had gotten the dash warning light for oil pressure. I checked my dipstick and it was almost completely dry. When I called the dealership and told them this they said it’s not covered under warranty. Should the dealership not have to put oil in the car before they sell it? I also have paperwork from a maintenance check 2 days after I bought it that said they checked all fluids
