Yeah, it's stickied.  This is good for Sonata owners to know.  I have a question; I've heard Sonata owners complain of "fuel slosh".  Could it be that they are barking up the wrong tree and the real issue is the shock aborbers?
 
Very nice job on the grill... Not my style but a very professional job.  The Sonata looks stunning in that color!

All,
 
Did this effect the 06's?

Will this effect the 2007 4 cyl model too?
We drove ours offf the lot with 25 miles on it Friday night.
We heard a clunking the next day.
 

does this apply to 2006 sonatas as well?

Thanks for this detailed post!  It really helped me expedite this repair of my '07 Sonata with the dealership!

not all noise from the rear of sonatas are the rear shocks, it is indeed the fuel tank(fuel slosh) which sucks.

My 06 Sonata had this problem. Worse yet not only did it "thump" the rear end would "jump" if one hit a medium to large bump in the middle of a corner. They replaced the shocks under warranty, problem solved.

It applies to ALL 2006 Sonatas but only those with the V6 engines. As to 2007, only the early ones that were assembled before there was a fix. Again, only the V6 version is affected.
