Hyundai Sonata

I bought my 2021 Sonata Limited off the lot in April. It was a decent car until it hit about the 1 year mark. I then started having problems with my car where it would shake and lost all power. It was towed to the nearest dealership. Even though the check engine light had come on and told them the problem b/c the car wasn't do it anymore they made me come get it. Less than 24hrs later it did it again and I had to have it towed for the 2nd time. They had it for over a week and didn't do anything to fix it. Gave it back, was driving on the freeway at 85 and lost all power again. Towed again to different dealership-they had it for over a week and said it was fixed. Drove it home and less than a week doing the same thing. Towed to another dealership-They had it for 2 weeks and finally "fixed" it. The car doesn't have the power it used to have and doesn't run right.

I purchased a 2017 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid in 2017 with a 10 year/100K mile warranty. November of 2021 my Sonata randomly shut off as I was taking the family to dinner. It would restart and briefly run before shutting off again. I called roadside assistance and had my vehicle towed to the dealership (Johnson Hyundai of Cary) where I purchased it. This is the beginning of my nightmare. For 6 months my car was in the shop!! It was towed November 15, 2021 before finally being = repaired and returned to me May 16, 2022.

I bought a Hyundai Sonata sport 2.0T. After it reached 110.000, the engine had a problem with OIL CONSUMPTION; I purchased an Extended Warranty with a PROTECTION PORTFOLIO (Never buy this insurance, but it does cover nothing in the end), and they said that it was a manufacturing problem from Hyundai. Still, Hyundai washes their hands and declines, saying it is out of warranty. At this point, no one responded. I have to buy a new engine that is over $9.000. I would never recommend this brand, mainly because after 100.000 miles, you will need a new ENGINE, and no one will respond; at that time, the coverage will end, and even if you buy an extended warranty, it will not cover.

Purchased a 2017 Hyundai 2/20. Several months ago there was a hailstorm. Afterward numerous large chips of paint were missing. Found out it was a manufacturing defect in paint. Hyundai only wanted to pay 80% of 2 panels. There were 3 panels with large paint chips and I noticed many small ones starting to form. When calling Hyundai they told me I would have to give up that "good will" offering and resubmit with the 3 panels and chances are I would get nothing! I also had to have the paint job done at that dealer. My cost to do 2 panels was almost $400. My cost for the 3rd panel around $900 to $1,000. Plus when the other panels start chipping another $900 to $1,000 per panel! That is outrageous for a 2017 vehicle. Sold the car and will not purchase another vehicle from Hyundai or its subsidiaries.

Motor went out and was under warranty. It's been in the shop for over a year. Finally Hyundai decided after two failed motors that they would buy our car back. The offer came in and they would buy our car back once we paid them $1,000. Now that's not. They would buy our car. Once we paid him $1,000 we had to pay them $1,000 and they would take our car back. This was a recall on a motor. We own the car and they wanted us to pay them to buy it back. Absolutely ridiculous. Will never ever buy another Hyundai as we still fight to get our car back just as it was when we took it in one year ago. Still sitting in the service shop. Waiting for a motor.

2013 Knock Sensor and Engine recall. Engine light started flashing. Low acceleration. 97000 miles, warranty extended, Hyundai backed up 1 month to get appt. Tear Engine down. If bad replace. ETA MONTHS.

I'll start by saying I have been a loyal customer of Hyundai for many years. This is my second Hyundai vehicle and I was quite happy with it until last year, when the paint on my vehicle started peeling unexpectedly. After some research, I learned that it's a known issue which would typically result in a recall (but did not). The dealership I work through filed a claim with Hyundai on my behalf which was denied. Paint continued peeling in the same spot as well as in new areas. At this rate, my car will look like a military vehicle thanks to the camouflage effect of the peeling paint, which continues spreading and popping up all over the car.

2nd Owner of a 2016 Hyundai Sonata and since day one, I noticed the massive amounts of oil the vehicle consumed. I have tried to contact the dealer who I purchased the vehicle from and they will not help because they are a KIA dealership and they only service KIA vehicles, so they referred me to a Hyundai dealership. Since then I have done several oil consumption tests and all of them deemed the vehicle consuming large amounts of oil. When I finally scheduled a oil consumption test with World Hyundai, on my way to do the test the vehicle seized while driving! (Ironic) Soon as I get to the dealership (stealer ship) they tell me they cannot help unless it is covered by Warranty. To be covered by warranty it specifically states to test rod bearing failure, which the dealership refused to do unless I changed the spark plugs. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!

Shout out to the guys at South Point Hyundai service department. Stopped by without an appointment to get help getting my car key dislodged from the ignition. The guys teamed up, jumped in and resolved the issue in minutes. They were super kind, very knowledgeable and sensitive to my situation. Personable and courteous! Double Five Stars. ⭐️

I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. I bought this at a dealership and have had nothing but issues! Recently my car broke down randomly no check engine lights nothing. I’ve gotten oil changes for the past year every other month and no one could tell me the issue. It ended up being a recall issue and Hyundai has had my car 3 weeks and pretty much told me go screw myself oh well. No help with a rental, no resolution and no care for the work I’ve missed or the fact that this car is garbage. Do not buy.
