My 2007 Sonata SE V6 has an intermittent clicking sound coming from under the lower drivers side dash. I mainly hear the relay like clicking sound when going from the brake to the gas pedal, but I've heard the sound while just starting to accelerate. I looked under the dash, the only components there are the drive by wire module on the gas pedal and the brake light switch. Anybody elses experience any thing like this?

Thanks.

 

Does it make this sound when it starts?

 

Does it make this sound when it starts?

 

No, the clicking happens when the car is running and I move my foot from the brake to the gas or gas to brake. The sound is like a relay or solenoid clicking. My car is at the dealer right now for this problem, I will post what they find.

 

Have they confirmed it? Do they hear it too?

 

Yes, they hear it, I took the service writer out for a drive when I dropped the car off. Everyone who's driven my car has heard it, it's quite annoying. My wife has the an 07 GLS and her's makes no clicking sounds.

 

That'll teach ya to get an SE!

 

Yeah, I know I tried a 4cyl GLS for a month, I just couldn't live with the 4cyl engine. I went back and traded it for the 6cyl SE, Hyundai just happened to have an extra $500.00 in owner loyalty cash along with the $2k rebate. I wrote a check for $2900.00 and drove away with the SE.

 

OK, here's the update. The mechanic & service advisor are convinced that it's the drivers seat. I went for a ride with the mechanic and he showed me where to put my hand under the drivers seat to feel the slight movement of the seat when we hear the noise. They ordered a new seat, I will post again after the new seat is installed. I did drive all the way home with my right hand cupped just underneath the drivers seat and I can feel it.

 

Interesting. I had the seat rails on my Elantra replaced recently but it was more of a thunk than a click.
