Sonata Hybrid

I love my vehicle. Of all the cars I have purchased and owned, this is by far the overall best selection I could have invested in. Since purchasing many years ago, I continue with regular maintence and I have only experience one major issue thus far.

Hybrid Sonata

Car has been very reliable being my wife’s transportation,I was against paying the upcharge for the hybrid model but she has had it since 2011 so I say she got her money’s worth.But here is the downside we have been thinking about replacing it but it needed service this month as in air bag light came on and ac neede recharge and oil change but all the Hyundai dealers in the are stated the soonest I could get it in was the end of September so now we are rethinking on Hyundai

Airbags failed twice and then burned.

My 2011 Hyundai Sonata was junk. The airbags failed 2x, and i was seriously injured. Torn left rotator cuff. Then the car burned. I'm lucky to be alive. I was locked in. These cars should be taken off of the road, until they are safe.

Jury's Still Out

Acquired this car with 4000 miles. Consumer Reports rates the 2011 Sonata very poorly with it being at the bottom of the reliability ratings for that year. Now at 71K, I haven't had too many problems. Recalls were constant to begin with. Replaced a cracked evaporative canister and close valve at 22K miles. The steering coupler has been replaced once at 24K, and as I understand it, will eventually need to be done again. It's just a small star-shaped, rubber sphere that installs inside the steering column and wears out every so often. Poor design and engineering. If this happens to you, call the dealer FIRST and find out if they'll perform the labor under warranty. The part is inexpensive. Also, the brakes on this car leave much to be desired. It feels like you're trying to stop a school bus instead of a car. They're very spongy and feel like they don't want to stop the car quickly. I had them inspected a couple times and they're in perfect working order so I assume it's in the ABS design and engineering. Had both tail lights (on different occasions) ripped off by automatic car washes. For some reason the large, rotating bristles on the machines are able to get between the lamp assembly and the fender and get stuck, pulling on the assembly and breaking all its plastic fastener points. New assemblies run $225 but you can do the work yourself. I take extremely good care of the car and believe it's the ONLY reason I haven't had more problems.

Never buy Hyundai

The worst customer service I ever received. I just needed someone to care and that never happened .Despicable!! I waited 2months to find out they would not cover warranty.I was charged $774 for a starter to perform test and they couldn't provide results I dealt with Anthony from headquarters who was the most unempathetic person I ever dealt with. Told me to rent a car and it would be covered .Not the case I was covered for 65%.I spent over $1200 only to have my car towed with no replacement engine.What a nightmare

Excellent car

My 2011 sonata has been an excellent car. I purchased it new. It runs very well and has a smooth ride. I keep up with all scheduled maintenance. There have been really no major issues with the car so far. It is much more affordable than other similar vehicles made by other companies. I would definitely recommend it.

Love my car

I have driven my car back and forth between PA and NC for years. The gas mileage is awesome - I can drive from right above Myrtle Beach SC to right below Hagerstown MD on one tank of gas, providing no major stops/slow downs for construction or accidents. I could probably make it all the way to my destination (around another 50 miles), but never wanted to take the chance of running out of gas!

Love 2011 Baby

I’m on my second Hyundai vehicle a Sonata I named Faith, and I absolutely love her. Even a car has personality, Faith loves the highway and open roads, sometimes I have to check my speedometer and sure enough we’re flying. She rides like a dream. Presently she has over 139k miles. Paying attention to subtle cues from your vehicle can save you lots of money and costly repairs. Other than a rotor change, I’ve had no major issues with this vehicle in the 10 years I’ve been her owner, Trunk is spacious, roomy in the back, at 10 years I’m still able to get 410 highway miles to a tank. I’m consistent with her upkeep and she has served me well. My first vehicle was an Elantra wagon whose only major issue was a transmission replacement. She went off into vehicular sunset at 275k miles, I love the Hyundai family vehicles and would definitely go that route again.

10 yrs of relatively reliable ownership

Purchased new in 2011. I have been meticulous in caring for this vehicle and performing recommended maintainence. My biggest complaint is the manual transmission /clutch. The car is comfortable and handles adequately.

Amazing.. until engine fails

I’ve had my 2011 Hyundai Sonata for almost 2 years before the rod bearing failure occurred, out of no where. But those 2 years were perfect! All I had to do was replace the starter, which was no shock considering it had 120k miles at the time. It rides super smooth, and comfortable!

My Hyundai

I love this car and have had no trouble with it. I routinely have the car serviced. No one can believe it is a 2011! I love driving it. It provides reliable service combined with good looks. Gas mileage is great and maintenance is inexpensive.

Love This Car

I bought this car certified pre-owned in 2015. Have had regular maintenance and free recall check-ups, but no costly repairs. I love this car. It rides well. Is not too small or too big -- really beautiful. The closest dealer/service center if fabulous.

Has been a great little car

Taking a chance on a used car, I bought this car for my daughter. It was two years old in 2013. Its been a good car. Other than normal routine expenses, the only thing I just had to get was a starter.

Issues

You might have many electronic issues with the backup camera. Your speakers will sound horrible in comparison to other Brands of vehicles. If you find a car with extra low miles and an older car like a 2011. The reason might be that the previous owner had a lot of issues!

Great vehicle

I bought my Sonata in March 2011. Have a little over 122,500 miles on this car and it is still running just like it did when I bought it. I am super pleased with the quality of this vehicle. Do not plan on selling it yet, but when I do I will be buying another Hyundai vehicle.

Love my Silver Fox

This is my second Hyundai vehicle. My first was an Elantra wagon, when we parted company she had over 255K miles on the odometer. This one currently has 135K miles and is going strong. The majority of miles are highway miles. The only major issue I’ve had, was having to replace my alternator. I’ve found that keeping up with timely maintenance my vehicles have served me well.

Good car, bought new 10+ years ago

Good car, bought new 10+ years ago and has almost 120K miles on the clock. Unlike some 2.4L engines, mine is still running perfect, consumes no oil and I have never needed to top off the oil in between oil changes. Dealer service prices are ridiculous and sometimes unnecessary.
