2006 LX Stereo Problems

  

Boanerge -> 2006 LX Stereo Problems (3/21/2006 4:42:16 PM)

We have had our Sonata since early December. We traveled across the country in it during Christmas and noticed the stereo will not load CDs properly. We constantly get a load error. While in late January, we took the car into the dealership for some minor adjustments and had them check the stereo. We were told the stereo is fine, it just won't load certain burned CDs. Well, I tried a few various burned CDs at the dealership and not one worked. The technician then said it played regular store bought CDs perfectly. I put three of those in one at a time and none of them worked. They decided it was in the best interest to order me a new stereo unit. Well it is going on two months now, and no word. The parts guy says there is no way to know when it is coming. They can only call me when it arrives. What kind of crap is that?

I am just venting, but when is enough enough? Is the Lemon Law in my future? What else can be done to see to it that this doesn't go on for months?

I feel for you especially since my Sonata is just as news as yours. Bought in Jan of '06. I have burned several mp3 discs with over 140 songs on them and they play fine...knock on wood. Heck if I were you, they other person had some good advice. bug the crap out of them and make them take one out of a Sonata on the floor or on the lot to meet the warranty specs. You should not have to wait like that and it is ridiculous to leave you hangin'. How simple is it to say...look, how many Sonata's do you get and sell every day? Take my piece of crap stereo out and put in a working stereo system and you can wait for the replacement. Make sure they do this for free cuz I believe the warranty covers defective interior components like the stereo, seats, moonroof, etc for 3 years.

Live near Boulder, Colorado. Yes, thank you both. I will start bothering them about it, but I do like the service folks there.

if its on back order, its on back order...they cant make it come faster..all you can do is call every few days and check on the status.....its not that big a deal..you got unlucky with your cd player and they are ordering a new one..i had to wait a month for a new cruise control module and i never complained (went out in my 03 tib)

Boanerge -> RE: 2006 LX Stereo Problems (3/29/2006 3:16:27 PM)

Cruise control is not the same as a stereo. Not even close. For goodness sakes, hardly anyone uses cruise control on a daily basis. OK, so long do you wait Malik?

Contact Hyundai USA! They are very interested in dealerships that won't keep up the good work. No excuses ... they want to know about this kind of treatment. Always fill out and return the questionnaires either online or by mail that Hyundai USA sends you. They are very concerned that you are treated right and that your car performs correctly.

I had a similar problem with CD's I burned that would not play in other cars. In my case it turned out to be certain brands of CD's just would not work for some reason. I have been using either TDK or Sony discs and have not had a problem since.

June 2006. CD issue is finally fixed with the installation of a new stereo. Turns out that the dealership only ordered the part with the lowest priority. Meaning, Hyundai would not ship the part until they had a truck load of parts to ship out to the dealership. So I am told. Between the dealership and Hyundai USA, three stereos were ordered, two delivered. At least it is working and the wife is off my back. I love the car. With the LX, the only mod you need is tinted windows.
