Lots of flaws

I've had many problems with the push button ignition on this car since I bought it brand new. I have the limited version. Every 3 months or so for the first 3 years I would get stranded somewhere because the push button start would t work. It was finally resolved with a recall and fortunately warranty always covered it but I wouldn't get this vehicle again.

Not worth the purchase

Things are darn near impossible to work on or maintain without the experience of a mechanic. Which is not fair because I like to work on my car but because of their love of money and making something simple so easy instead so freaking difficult anymore. So I'm thankful to God for my car, but I can't wait to get rid of this piece of crap car. That's already needed a new engine and a new electronic power steering module, who knows what going to happen next.

Sonata recalls

I don't think I would buy another Sonata just because of all the recalls I've had on my 2011 model.

Not what I expected

I have never had so many problems with a car, I've put well over $1,000 in repairs into this car, and it's a 2011. There have also been a handful of recalls on this car and it's a major inconvenience. I thought since I bought a Hyundai I wasn't going to have all these problems, I was mistaken. Within the past couple months I had to replace the starter, water pump, alternator and steering column. And there has also been 3 or 4 recalls.

Problem Vehicle

2011 model, Lots of recalls. When warranty's out, get rid of vehicle! Lots of repairs on soon to be recalls, so keep all you repair receipts for refunds! Very loud road noise, seats really low.

Sonata 2011

Had steering column problem like so many others. Had to pay for a repair even though volume of concerns justify a recall.

Way to many recalls to have to deal with. Electrical and mechanical issues galore. Don't buy a sonata. Stick to Camry or accord much better value.

Pretty but not good

My 2011 is an eye catcher...but that's about it...too many issues (recalls)... Although they are no charge to you, it's an inconvenience.

Nice look, but.....nope.

They made the car look great, but too many flaws. If it's not the M.A.P. Sensor, it'll be the fuel pump, or an engine flush within the 1st year. There is a reason they come with a 10 yr/100K mile warranty. You're gonna need it often. If u do buy a Sonata, get the Platinum protection. You will thank me.

Not Enough Warranty

The Kuhmo tires were replaced at 30K due to excessive wear, the front bumper had to be repainted after undisclosed damage from the original dealer who took receipt of the car . The thin metal on the car is highly susceptible to hail damage, the lights are frequently burning out, the oil pan rusted through and Hyundai would not replace, both boots on CV joints had to be replaced, the radio needs to be replaced as Hyundai will not warranty that but it is a service bulletin, check out all the recalls issued on the vehicle, it rides like a buckboard wagon - a real kidney buster, a lot of road noise, cv joints needed to be replaced, a lot of interior creaking noises, gas mileage drops after three years, but superb body styling. I am disappointed in the quality of parts that make up this vehicle. I think that is the root cause for all the problems.

Recall

This car has had so many recalls its ridiculous! The engine seized, brake issues, steering issue, electrical issues, gas tank issues. Poorly made I'm assuming. Though all repairs were recalls it's a nightmare to have to take your car in so many times.

Engine recall is a bummer!

Overall the car is good. I pray the issues that car companies are now encountering resulting in recalls can be eliminated before customers are subject to recalls.

2011 model is not good

Many recalls on vehicle. One of the main recalls is the steering wheel coupling part, recall just came out in 2017 for this 2011 model....but there is a mileage restriction on it....costs nearly $300 to fix. Not satisfied.

Disappointed

I have owned over 10 Hyundai vehicles in my life and this one is by far the most service needy. I put alot of Mikes on my car and have replaced both the engine and now transmission in this car. I am religious about vehicle maintenance so I know that I did all I could to prolong vehicle life. This was just a bad car with multiple recalls (at least 8). Not sure if I will be continuing my Hyundai relationship moving forward.

2011 Sonata SE 2.0 T

Bought this car used, have had numerous problems with it, can't say I will buy another Hyundai. This year Sonata has had multiple recalls on it and an insurance agent told me my car was in an accident 2 years before I bought it, but nothing shows up on the car fax. Roof leaks (does not have sun roof) but O'brien Hyundai cannot find where it is leaking from. AC will not stay cold unless the car is moving, once again Obrien says there is nothing wrong with it. Ticking under the hood, but Obrien didn't hear that either. While riding down the road when lights are on auto, my lights will flash in and outside of the car, had to put it on manual and turn them on as needed, because Obrien couldn't figure out that problem. Too much more to write

1 year blues

I have been driving a Hyundai for over 15 years!!! So I know my Hyundai cars and I feel that I made the wrong call with getting this car the first year it came out. I feel that car manufacturers have this unwritten policy that "Hey it is the first year, you are going to have some problems, I mean more than some, o.k. you are going to have lots of problems and they are going to cost you. I really feel that no matter what year the car came out then the company should stick behind a car and fix for free or replace regardless... I am not happy with this because I have had it in the shop a lot over the past few years...but I am not going to totally give up on Hyundai.
