Thanks everyone for the info and advice. I picked up my car a few hours ago, turns out they changed the oil and filter. Which somewhat upset me since I was only 1000 miles into my OCI. The receipt only states that the engine oil and filter were changed, no mention of the type of oil and grade. I...

Hey Everyone, I just took my Sonata to the dealer to complete an engine recall. They needed to test the engine for knock and other issues since they claim a certain amount of engines from the 2011-2014 Sonata model years are defective. I'll provide a link below which has more detail on the...

Hey Everyone, About a week ago I started hearing a metallic scraping noise from my front driver side wheel area. It only happens after several harder stops. I have about 50% pad life left. The noise is constant, meaning I don't need to be on the brakes for it to continue. It only stops after I...

Hey Everyone, I ended up calling the manufacturer. Because it's discontinued I got a full refund. -Swift.

Hi Everyone, About 6 months ago I purchased a Midea US-FC70-DS12DSH (Washer dryer Combo) for my apartment. Yesterday it stopped mid-way into the dry cycle and displayed error code EA3. So after searching Google I discovered a YouTube clip which explained the error is caused by overheating. I...

Thanks for the input everyone, although 235s would looks better I'll prob go with 225s so I don't have speedometer error.Not to mention I'm looking for better wet/snow performance.

Originally Posted By: otis24 If I recall, on a 225/45 tire, the highth is 45% of the tire width. So on a 235 tire, it would be a little taller. If you google, you can find a speedometer calculator. It will let you put in the size of your original tire and the new tire and calculate the...

Hey Everyone, I'm due for a new set of tires for my 2013 Sonata 2.0T SE. I currently have a set of 225/45R18 tires on 18x8 aftermarket rims. My car originally came with 18x7.5 rims, but that's besides the point. I'm now considering getting 235/45R18 tires (BFGoodrich G-FORCE™ COMP-2™ A/S)...

Thanks everyone, I went with the second choice as many of you recommended. -Swift

Thanks everyone for the help. It's down to these two rims, which do you like more? I really like the first design but these will be going on my Sonata which is a pretty long car so I'm worried they might look odd. Thanks, Swift

Hey Everyone, I'll try to break this down as simply as possible but I do have a ton of questions. So basically I want to buy a set of 18 inch aftermarket wheels but I'm confused about offset. So my stock wheels have the current dimensions 18x7.5, bolt pattern 115, and an offset of 48mm. And the...

Just a quick update, I think I found what caused the battery to drain. Last night I ran to my car to plug in my phone charger and accidentally left the car in ignition on mode since I was testing to see if it worked. Since I have a push button start setup I have to press the start button twice...
