    Troublesome starter in 2009 Hyundai Sonata - a few questions

    I found a video about the starter switch on a 2009 Hyundai Sonata that had similar issues. So I replaced the switch, and the new part feels much firmer than that last. I will see if it causes issues from here on.

    Troublesome starter in 2009 Hyundai Sonata - a few questions

    The auto start has been happening for about a month. The shift noise is from a week ago. I don't see how this would work. Does the neutral safety switch disengage the starter?

    Troublesome starter in 2009 Hyundai Sonata - a few questions

    I had a starter replaced on my 2009 Hyundai Sonata last year. Lately, a few things have been happening. 1. The car has been starting with the key in the ON position. Meaning I switch the key to ACC, then On, but don't turn the key to start it, and the car starts by itself. Either immediately...

    Any hybrids with an IC engine that can be turned off?

    I have no way of charging an EV at home or work currently. The nearest chargers per Google are at least 3 miles away. My apartment parking lot has a drive through it, so the cable would have to go across the parking lot, and out a 3rd story window. It would be easier to push for it at work, as...

    Any hybrids with an IC engine that can be turned off?

    2.1 miles each way 5 days a week. 0-150 miles on weekends, depending on plans and weather. In the winter it might be very little. Current vehicle will need brakes, front suspension, and tires soon. So I am looking for a replacement vehicle. $16K on an Impala or 300 or Volt wouldn't be much...

    Any hybrids with an IC engine that can be turned off?

    I have to cross under an interstate with two stop lights, and then about a half mile with 3 ft. of shoulder with a 10 ft. rock wall on the other side. Only about 1/4 of a mile has anything resembling a safe walking or biking lane. If I were to commute via a bike, it would have at least 75 hp. I...

    Any hybrids with an IC engine that can be turned off?

    I currently have a commute that is not compatible with a hybrid that starts the engine every time I want to drive and doesn't shut off until it warns up. It's a 2.1 mile drive with a max of 50 mph. Are there any hybrids or plugin hybrids that can be run in EV only mode for 5 days a week? I...

    Buying an out of state vehicle with money owed

    About $3K under "normal" pricing now. Drive would be about 1.5 hours.

    Buying an out of state vehicle with money owed

    This has been my thought. It would probably be worth the asking price at least as a trade in. One of the reasons I haven't gone to look at it.

    Buying an out of state vehicle with money owed

    Car will be bought outright. Text in the ad is "We can meet and see a notary saying that the title will be sent to you"

    Buying an out of state vehicle with money owed

    I'm in Kentucky found a vehicle about 90 miles away, but it's in Indiana, and the owner still owes money on it. I've dealt with bringing an out of state vehicle into Kentucky, but I've not dealt with a vehicle with money owed. How does this work? The current owner says a notary will signs...

    Say I'm paying cash on a used vehicle?

    I'm starting to shop for a used vehicle, and most of the ones I am looking for are at dealerships. I've heard that saying you are paying cash for a new vehicle is a bad thing, but not sure how it goes for used vehicles. Should I keep it quiet, or come out with it?

    3.6L 9th or 10th Gen Impala vs. 2nd Gen 200 or 300?

    I have been looking at the LaCrosse, but it’s another $2k in my area.

    3.6L 9th or 10th Gen Impala vs. 2nd Gen 200 or 300?

    No, I'm talking aftermarket 22-26s, some with a lift to make them fit.

    3.6L 9th or 10th Gen Impala vs. 2nd Gen 200 or 300?

    I"m looking at 300s, but few and far between that aren't on dubs.

    3.6L 9th or 10th Gen Impala vs. 2nd Gen 200 or 300?

    There is one of both in my complex. The 200 looks better, but the 9 speed issues concern me.

    3.6L 9th or 10th Gen Impala vs. 2nd Gen 200 or 300?

    I've been back and forth on several types of cars, from big V8s to Civic SIs, and I think I am finally stuck at the Impala, 200, or 300. The 9th Gen Impalas, and 2nd Gen 200s are in the same price range, and the 10th Gen Impalas and 2nd Gen 300s are about the same. I'm leaning toward the 9th...

    (Year?) NISMO GT-R Sighting

    Both I've seen were at gas stations. One was being driven across country, and the driver had taped up the front end, and was leapfrogging E85 stations. I think the other was getting E85 as well.

    Less than 14 volts while running

    I figured it was normal, but wanted to make sure. That’s what I get for plugging in. The SG2.

    Less than 14 volts while running

    I have a 2009 Sonata with 142K miles on I think the original alternator. When I start the vehicle, voltage displayed on the Scanguage 2 shows above 14 volts, but after the car gets warm, voltage drops below, down to 13.4 sometimes. I think I have even seen less than 13 volts a time or two. Is...
