1999 Hyundai Sonata Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Hyundai? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Hyundai tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Sonata’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Sonata is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Sonata transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Hyundai Sonata transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Hyundai's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Hyundai Sonata? Yes. Hyundai Sonata transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.

You might even experience transmission failure.
