Never buy 2015 Sonata hybrid

I started experiencing vehicle issues back in August of 2016. I purchased the vehicle June 10, 2016 and have had nothing but issues with this vehicle. The first issue occurred five months after purchasing this vehicle, the hybrid battery system blew out. I got that issue fixed as it was still under warranty at the time. Within about three months my hybrid battery plug blows out which the incident occurred around rent time which made me accrue a $100.00 late fee on my October’s rent. Then the next issue came in November of 2017 my oil pressure switch blew out which it took them one week to complete the repair. Then literally two weeks after that repair, my engine blows out while on the freeway on my way to work. This repair took almost two and a half weeks to finish. This vehicle is my only source of transportation I had to come out of the pocket for a rental car for two and a half weeks which took from my rent and utility bills. With all of the car issues that I have been dealing with has cost me a great amount of money. I have since then had to put my Utility bills on extension, Edison my Water and Gas bills, and I’ve been paying my rent late due to these car repairs, I have not been able to catch up with the late Fees that I’ve been accruing. I am so behind on all of my bills and rent. I do not even have the money to feed my children due to the expenses of these car repairs. Due to this last car repair while still trying to recuperate it has been impossible for me to get back on track. I am under so much stress trying to figure out how I am going to get by day by day. I am now at risk of getting my lights, water and gas disconnected due to these repairs. This financial struggle has caused me a great amount of depression and stress these repairs have been ongoing. I am at a point in my life where everything that can go wrong with this car is. I have faith that I will come out of this situation with a big smile on. Due to this situation my landlord is not too comfortable in trusting me to pay rent on time and with the past car situations. I have loss so much energy, time and money due to this vehicle. I have put in a Lemon request to Hyundai to repurchase this vehicle back, but was denied twice. this has caused me nothing but anxiety and stress and long nights staying up crying trying to figure out how to survive day by day.

Huyundai Sonata Hybrid

Very unreliable car that breaks down often and dealers have little to no expertise with hybrids. The car will have battery issues while driving and sometimes shut down all electronics and stall while driving even on the highway.

Avoid this vehicle

Had an unknown electronic condition that was never able to be resolved. The dealership worked tirelessly with the engineers and still couldn’t get resolution. After 8 long months it was finally determined it was becoming too costly to continue trying.

Car is nice. The mileage that the computer says is not accurate. It is off by around 4 mpg every tankfull. I am getting about 33 miles mostly highway. If you have to do any city driving gas mileage drops rapidly.Get a power drivers seat. Seat uncomfortable on most trips. Unfortunately the 2015 only offers power drivers seat in limited. No rear ac ducts on any level of the 2015.

Poor Gas Mileage

My hybrid gets 32 - 36 mpg, a far cry from the 40 mpg I was expecting. Acceleration from a stop has a second or so delay as in press the gas pedal and NOTHING happens initially. The brakes are also randomly touchy. Every once in a while , a tap of the brakes will cause a full scale lock up. Seats are uncomfortable after a few hours. Cruise control will occasionally reset itself to a higher speed if you've had to accelerate with it on.

NIce Car but major Issues

I have had my sonata for coming up too 2 1/2 years.. and I have only taken it to the dealer for anything and everything. and I have already had my car in the shop 4/5 times. I have lost all faith in my car to take me and my kids anywhere. Most repairs were for the transmission and the rest were for electrical and this was a brand new car with no miles on it when I purchased it.

Engine Maintenance

Around 25,000 miles our Sonata engine started making some disturbing whirling and grinding noises and during acceleration the engine would sputter. After several attempts to have the issue resolved at the dealer (where they could not duplicate the problems), one mechanic pulled a chip plug finding the engine was coming apart. The dealer could not find the same engine block and had to install a different engine block with adapters. One of the main points that sold me on the car was the extremely quick acceleration response, unfortunately after the engine change the car has had no acceleration either off the line or at speeds. Example at 55 mph, you decide to pass a car, placing the peddle down, you can actually count 1 Mississippi- 2 Mississippi before the revving begins to build and then over the next 2 seconds slowly builds to acceptable passing speed - exposing operator and the passengers to significant risks. According to the dealer- there was nothing they could do to rectify the situation.

Nice car but lacks alot in the interior.

Wish I didn't trade in my Chrysler 300c for this car. Not satisfied with the interior features or the noise the engine makes. If you like powered seats and a large screen for the back up camera then purchase the hybrid limited. I got the regular hybrid and it was still expensive at $27,800.

Overall the car is a very good bang for the buck car. However the Interior console paint is peeling The fuel econmy is about 5 miles less than published and on hot days the car is stuggles to stay above 27 MPG. Wish they would tell you that before you purchase the vehicle.

Making an appointment on line did not work. It did not get scheduled and not very computer friendly.

Appointment must be made or else you are turned away. Had to come back again. My time is valuable and also going out of my way to go to the dealership for an oil change.

Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

Good value for the price. Roomy with a lot of upscale features. Hard to hit the MPG numbers - we're lucky to average 33mpg - much less than we expected for a hybrid - however it is a large car. Acceleration is somewhat choppy and it drags in comparison to the 2011 Sonata non-hybrid we had. Rides is a little rough on less than smooth roads.

Eh

All in all an average vehicle that hesitates to accelerate, very underwhelming. Check engine light came on and already needed an oil pump and control system replacement at 1 year into the life of the vehicle. I hope this isn't a glimpse of what is to come.

After 28,000 miles review

Great gas mileage!! 548 miles on one tank full. What I don't like is Road noise (you hear all the surrounding outside vehicle & road noise)! Their is a little LED light that they use for the sunroof that when you drive at night (with the headlights on) is on that really bothers me!!!!

Not a good experience

I had this vehicle for about 3 months. The first road trip I made with it, it broke down. Although this was the second Sonata Hybrid I owned it was not as well equipped as the first. That disappointed me and that was not what I thought I told the dealership. But my vehicle breaking down was enough for me to trade it in. Yes to the same dealership and yes after I had a long talk with them about my expectations from the 2015 I bought from them and what I expected from the 2016. I realize they don't make these cars, just sell them. But, they got me back buying a new Hyundai because the knew I was right about what they sold me. As a matter of fact, I helped my daughter purchase an Accent from them as well.
