So if i turn off the radio and turn the cabin fan on (lowest level) i hear a tick-tick-tick within the dashboard. It seems to be louder than I remember it to be..
Its there with both the a/c on and off, all temp settings. Fan going bad?
How to deaden the annoying loud ticking!!

Problem: All of a sudden my car has developed an intermittent smoky smell in the cabin (I'm NOT a smoker). There are no check engine lights on and the car is running fine. The smell is not the classic "hot engine block" smell of the car overheating (which it is not according to the gauge). The smell I am getting is a hot smoky smell, doesn't smell like rubber either. No visible smoke in the cabin or the engine compartment.
Smell usually shows up after driving the car for around 2 minutes, but can vary and sometime not show up at all. The only thing that I can comment is a chirping sound from the pulleys that seems to be associated with humidity (power steering, radiator, etc) and the A/C blower intermittently not working (have not had any issues in past 3 months). How I can diagnose this?
So I've been getting that nasty, musky odor in my 2006 Sonata. I just purchased it used last December, so don't know when the cabin air filter was last changed. I had to do this with my Camry not too long ago, so I still have the spray to try on it if the filter isn't too old/dirty. The problem:
When I lowered the glovebox to get to the cabin air filter, one of the tabs was broken off. I figured no big deal. I pressed on the other three and they all broke off. My husband tried to get it out, but no luck. I'm afraid of damaging it if I try to pry it out and even if I succeed, do I have to do that every time I need to get to the filter? Where I would find a new housing?
Sonata 2007, SE, V6 3.3 engine, 110000m .... I was driving today on a highway and 5 miles from home notice no hot air coming in cabin. Outside temp was 20 degree. Accidentally AC button must been pushed since the light was on. Engine temp gauge was off and few times it jumped from off (as in completely cold engine) to overheated (max top value). Drove back home and let it cool. I can see there is no coolant left. Obvious there is leak somewhere but the only visible spot is on the passenger side, towards the front of the engine compartment - seems like the leak is from the AC coolant hose between the front and the low pressure service port - or the AC pressure transducer.
Antifreeze can be seen under that part, but is clear that it has not come from the overflow reservoir or any main hose. Is there antifreeze flowing on those parts or should I look at somewhere else? Coolant splash seems too high to be from the water pump - definitely seems as leak from above on one of the hoses or the A/C Pressure transducer. Can this be the primary reason or this is just safety due to other (thermostat or other) issue with the cooling system? What can be done?
About month ago, my cabin lights stopped coming on when I open the door. I can turn the lights on, so it is not bulbs. It's a pain to come home at night and not have the lights come on for a few minutes as I get out of the car.
View 5 RepliesI bought the car with it a bit over 3 months ago, that was the only problem and simply couldn't pass the deal. Even used car dealer didn't know what it was.
You can only hear it when you go over 50-55+ mph and it comes from cabin air filter area.
I already changed cabin air filter, the other day I replaced filter tray as well due to broken clips. Cleaned the whole area real good and still can't get it to stop whining.
I'm a long time Sonata owner ( 2004 2.7L 291K miles) and recently purchased a 2008 3.3L Sonata with 40K miles and have a question about the 2008 3.3L. I've noticed a ticking sound when the car is cold. The ticking gets quiet between shifts, and eventually goes away once the car is warmed up.
View 5 RepliesSo i am looking to buy a 2007 Sonata 4 cylinder with 145K miles. There is a ticking noise coming from the motor. Sounds like a lifter tick. You can here it all the time even after its warmed up. I just don't know much about these cars.
View 4 RepliesCame home from a 3-hour trip. Back in my garage my wife is outside while I maneuver the car into place, and she tells me she hears weird ticking, which I can actually notice myself as coming from the front right-hand side (sitting at the wheel).
Turns out when the brakes are applied, the car is not moving, and the shift lever is in D -- there is a ticking sound coming from the transmission area. Shifting to N or P or R -- no noise, only when in D. The ticking is not consistent, it's changing from slower to faster to slow again, no matter how much I put pressure on the brakes (it's not the brakes squeaking).
What is the name or a store url where I could order this part below for the Hyundai Sonata 2008....
View 7 RepliesI have no owners manual and cannot determine the meaning of this light indicator on my dashboard. It resembles a letter "U" more horseshape with the exclamation point in the middle of the U. How to determine the problem that this light indicates? BTW, I have been driving my car and concerned that continuing will damage.

View 14 RepliesI bought my 2006 Sonata with the 2.4L when it had 115,000 and it currently has 130,000 on it now. Ever since I bought it I noticed it had a ticking noise coming from the motor, it makes the noise constantly, it doesn't matter if the motor is hot or cold. I've always been a little worried about the noise. The car does runs like it should though. What it could be?
View 6 RepliesI have a 2006 hyundai sonata 3.3L V6. Only happens on a cold start. I'll start the car and it won't tick while at idle. But as I drive away ill hear it for maybe about 2 mins only maybe in first gear until the car slightly warms up and then it's gone completely.
View 30 RepliesI have noticed lately, when the car is hot, while pulling into my quiet garage, and even when the car is in park, engine running --- hearing some clicking / ticking coming from, or near the Catalytic Converter.... It sounds as if a small piece of metal is rattling inside with the flow of air... It stops clicking once the engine is turned off.
View 5 RepliesI am getting a ticking sound when i am slowing down (applying my brakes) at say 35/30mph. The sound stops when I stop. This problem starts after my car warms up; doesn't do it when I first start up.
I've taken the car to 2 Hyundai dealerships and a certified mechanic and the problem continues. I first noticed this about a month ago.
So far no one seems to be able to find the problem. The mechanic did try by replacing the front brake pads. He said something about a "shims piece " and thought if we replace the front pads that would take care of the problem. The rear brakes or ok.
I'm still having the problem and I wonder if it's the rear brakes after all. I don't know what I can try now. Someone suggested going to Brake Check. I have about 1000 miles left on the original warranty.
My 2009 Hyundai Sonata's dashboard readings suddenly went "dead" yesterday that is - the fuel gauge read empty, the speedo wasn't registering nor was the tachometer and the led display couldn't be altered? What might be wrong and whether I can do anything to fix it?
View 3 RepliesI have a 2006 sonata and my alarm light on my dash board is blinking rapidly and then my blinker lights will turn on and stay on for a few seconds then it does everything all over again. My car has never done any of this except a slow blink in the red LED alarm light. I don't want my battery to die! Is there anything wrong with my car or is this normal?
View 1 RepliesI recently bought a 2006 Hyundai Sonata 3.3 V6. Had another issue related to the rear wheel, which I fixed. Today, I changed the oil filter on the car (along with the oil). I have heard this engine noise before, but with the cover off it appears a little louder. It’s basically a ‘ticking’ sound.
The engine uses no oil, and has no other leaks. It has some noise on startup for maybe 1-2 seconds (like a loud lifter or something, but it goes away in less than 2 seconds, and at the same time the oil light goes out). I changed the filter today because I was told that a leaky gasket could result in the Filter not retaining oil between starts, causes some minor knock for a few seconds.
But anyway, this other ticking noise seems to be regular, regardless of condition. I have heard some people say that some engine noise is normal for this engine, but how about this?

Have a 2006 Sonata GLS with a 2.4 mileage has rolled over 207k .... I started hearing a slight ticking noise from the top of my engine and it has slowly gotten louder, now it can be heard inside the vehicle and more so when revving the engine...it also has 2 stored codes P0011 and P0456, I'm not too concerned with the evap code at the moment, I have decided to replace the oil control valve and clean or replace the lash adjusters...here is my problem, I have mechanic experience but only on Honda, all the youtube videos I have found for valve lash adjustment or replacement are for Mitsubishi and chevy engines, so I am not sure what the adjusters actually look like on this engine and if I can even do them without removing the timing chain.
