I will never buy Hyundai again

This vehicle should not be sold in California without proper warning regarding the MPG. I was lucky to get 32/35 mpg, in NC I get 41/42. The dealership, when I discussed this with them, would just say "it's common sense you aren't going to get that...they drive this car around a level track to get the mpg". Oh, forgive me...My fault. You told me it would get the same as a prius. They only cared about the sale. Don't even get me started on the service department. Window tint is bubbling, they broke a piece of the console putting my car back together (had to bring it in again to fix that), didn't do services they recommended and said they'd complete, threw away a part that cost thousands to order, I could go on forever. I hate this car, but the resale is so low it's not worth getting rid of it after I put $10,000 down on it.

2013 So at a Hybrid

I leased this vehicle in December of 2013 and had a three year lease. While driving on the freeway in April of 2015, my car started loose acceleration and eventually died. I barely made it to the side of the freeway before all power was lost. It was very scary as everyone around me was going 65+ mph and I had my children in the car. Hyundai was wonderful. They had my car towed, provided me with a rental car and replaced my engine, all at no cost. They had my car one month. However, I had my car back less than a week before it died again. Once again, Hyndai came and jumped the car a and inspected it. They say nothing is wrong with it but the car doesn't die for no reason. I commute 160+ miles a day round trip. I am almost to the point mileage wise where these issues will no longer be under warranty. I have opened a case with Cinsumer Affairs with Hyundai and am trying to turn my lease in early. Since I am so close to being out of warranty and this car is not owned by me, I don't want to be financially responsible when the next issue happens. I am hoping Hyundai does what is right and takes this lemon back.

Worst car ever

I've been a Hyundai customer for over 10 years, I have to say I hate my hybrid. Their is no power, you have to use the better grade in gas, and it only gets 32 miles per gallon over all. When it's supposed to get better then 32.

Sucks!!!

This is my 2nd Sonata Hybrid. I should never have bought this car had Sales bothered to tell me the truth about a Hybrid. Huge mistake. The 2012 had several big problems. This car also has big problems. So many times the car just would not start, could not even get in the car as doors would not open. I have had many tears and stress concerning this car. I bought a new car to be driving it on the road, not sitting in service. This is a loaded car and really sharp looking. I spent a good chunk of my hard earned money This car is not dependable or reliable. Hyundai has no interest in making it right. Hyundai can't even diagnose why it just won't start at times. I am retired and not working to have an ongoing income to just keep buying another new car. I came in to purchase a regular loaded Hyundai Sonata. The general manager does not believe me. I did not know anything about hybrids. I know this will not be available to the public.

Bad bad bad

Had nothing but problems fro day one...check engine light constantly came on. Hybrid system was defective and in the shop several times. I also had 4 recalls the Hyundai took care of. Service people were very friendly and helpful but the quality of the car was subpar. I would not buy another one in the future.

It's a decent car for the money, reliable, but not very good pick up. Seems to drag a bit when accelerating.

Built Cheap, and horribly designed.

It is a very cheaply built car and has engineering problems galore. I'd avoid Hyundai for a car purchase. I know I will.

Poor performance

This car did not get even close to the gas mileage promised by Hyundai and I had quite a few problems with the car. I am so glad that I purchased the extended warranty.What I also learned about my car when I bumped a pole in my parking spot is that with a simple bumper dent you must replace the whole bumper to repair it.

To many things going wrong like the main computer, seat belt, rear seat heater etc. The build quality of the accessories is bad. Gas mileage is good. Performance is good. I would not buy another Hyundia.

Sonats

Liked this vehicle at first, even though I had crappy customer service all the way around with buying the car and the first service done. But have had multiple problems, such as the transmission failing and when having the break peddle replaced (which I think was completely unnecessary and don't trust most if their service techs) it wasn't done properly and my car broke down again shortly after because they forgot to put brake fluid in it. The car is comfortable and nice but hyundai seems to be unreliable and their customer service alone is enough to make me never buy from them again.

Hybrid rating

The transition time between electric and gas engine is getting incrementally longer, electric engine isn't strong enough to get you out of trouble as you pull into traffic. Since new my hybrid battery has never been full, it usually is in the 50% range. My 09 Sonata had real carpet however my 13 hybrid has what I call felt, really cheap. My 09 was made in made in U.S. the 13 was made in S. Korea, I don't know if this makes a difference. The gas mileage is very poor for a hybrid, I have owned other straight gas 4cyl that got better mileage.

Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

I really don’t think my opinion will be taken well at the dealership. I love the color and enjoy driving it. Like all the “bells and whistles”, but I should not be the owner of a hybrid. Too many issues during my ownership, often frustrated with the car. My personal opinion is hybrids are in the “baby stages” of development. So much to be improved on.

2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

The overall performance of the 2013 Sonata Hybrid is good but not great. Mileage for a hybrid vehicle is poor to bad. I would recommend against anyone purchasing the hybrid; the non-hybrid Sonata is probably a better choice.

Have had problems with it that were not expected at all - dies out at "panic stops", battery and auxiliary units both went at 2-1/2 years! Had navi system replaced twice so far - once when first purchased and am waiting for new unit again.

Hyundia Sonata hybrid 2013 & 2016

I was happy with 2013 until the battery issue came up and only guaranteed 2 years for a full coverage. I have never had a better yet go bad this early on a car. Normally they last 5 to 6 years. When water pump went out this spring I am wondering if I got the right car. But giving you guys another chance with my 2016 Hyundia Sonata Hybrid. It is getting great gas mileage.
