It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Sonata, but it's important to resist the urge.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2009 Hyundai Sonata

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Sonata's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Hyundai, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2009 Hyundai Sonata to maintain its performance power. Follow Hyundai's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Hyundai Sonata Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2009 Hyundai Sonata drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Hyundai Sonata may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Hyundai Sonata.

How much does it cost to fix your 2009 Hyundai Sonata drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
