2017 hyundai sonata

Pretty tough car. Great on gas mileage. Wish i tinted windows keep sun out. Very happy over all with the car. Lots of cool gadgets and interior. Drives smooth. Just worried about exterior. Very sensitive to scartches and dents. Need to park away from cars. Over all design is great.

Paint

Paint is poor at best. My 4th one not sure I’d do another. Paint peeling on roof above windshield from lack of adhesive of paint to primer. There’s no dents or dings in area and paint is just peeling and car is only 2 years old. This is not a good aspect of a car that I’ve had 4 of. Prolly wouldn’t buy another one due to this will cost me a good amount to have fix and Hyundai didn’t have a good prep when this car was built

Was enjoying the Sonata until the recall was done but nowI I am not enjoying driving it due to the engine noise. Took a month to repair but appreciated the rental.Part was out of stock. Was not expecting repair to take so long.

nice car

this is a good car handles well in the snow, acceleration is not as good as it should be, very roomy inside, quiet inside cabin, great on gas mileage, inside design is a little cheap as the panel on the driver's side door got discolored very early on into having this car, but got a great price on it can't complain!

Hyundai Sonata

I like my Sonata. I wish this year model and rear vents and sunroof. I guess if I’d spent extra money on the more expensive one it would be. I would consider buying a another Sonata or SUV. I’ve had a pretty fair experience with this one.

Average quality

From day one I have been confused about this vehicle. The salesman told us that this top-of-the-line model kept the vehicle in the lane and showed us videos from the Genesis brand. Following that we realized this vehicle does not have those capabilities. A couple months into ownership I noticed that I could not open the door without fully extending it open or it would close on my leg. When I asked them to repair this I was told by the dealer it was operating correctly. Then came the recalls, when I brought my car and the parts were never available and I was never contacted when they were available as I was promised. I have owned the car almost 2 years and then the trunk latch stopped working. There is No way to open the trunk from the inside so if A child was trapped, or you had a flat tire, or were on vacation in California like we were you have no way to open your trunk due to a faulty latch. The dealer explained this happens all the time So they had plenty in stock. I asked what would happen when I am out of warranty and they said they would not be covered unless Hyundai decided it was a recall issue. Overall, I expected a higher level of quality for a brand new car with top-of-the-line features.

Fit and finish lacking

I have nearly 90k on my Hyundai Sonata. Mechanically I trust the car and feel good about driving it. Fit and finish however are lackluster. Paint has chipped along the bottom of the drivers door and a couple places on the hood despite being garage kept and regularly washed and waxed. Materials used for the interior are already showing significant aging as well.

Hyundai Sonata 2017

I like 2017 Hyundai Sonata. I would like to see more improvements with steering and more comfort for an every day drive and commute. My car is also a sport so I wish it had better steering and handling.

Love my Sonata.....But

I purchased a 2017 Sonata and loved the car until the paint started to peel on the roof. It is not just a tiny nick...it is peeling like you would peel wallpaper off the wall. I'm having it painted through the service dept., but am wondering now what part of the car will start peeling off next. I am not going to be taking the car in every 6 months to have repainted. There is an issue with this paint that Hyundai must be aware of because I am not the only customer that is having this problem. I am stuck as what to do now. Do I keep this car and hope I don't have to take it in again before the warranty wears out? I understand that the paint is only covered by a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty in which case I only have one year left. Or do I trade it in for a new one? I've already paid two years into this car, I hate to have to start all over. I really think Hyundai should do something about this to help these customers out. It abolutely is a defect on their part.

Uncomfortable driver's seat

The 2017 Sonata is an attractive auto and passengers comment on a comfortable ride. As the driver I am so uncomfortable. The driver's seat slants too far down to the back and required me to purchase a wedge seat cushion. Head room is too low for me as I need to be close to reach the gas pedal and the roof slants down. My head brushes the top getting in and out. I feel that it could be dangerous in an accident. The headrests tilt way too forward pushing my head. I have turned my headrest around to solve the problem. After 20 years of driving a Hyundai, they no longer fit me.

Sonata

I’ve already said what I want to say in the survey. You’re forcing me to put a comment of minimum 200 characters. This is ridiculous. I’ve said all I wanted to say during the survey. I guess it’s still not enough characters in this field so I will just keep repeating myself. This is annoying.

Issues

Overall has the ability to be a great car. I have had some engine issues I hope will be taken care of from the manufacture. If not I wouldn’t recommend or purchase another Hyundai vehicle. Car does have great gas mileage

disappointment

I had to take my 2017 Hyundai Sonata in for repair due to the fact that when I would accelerate the engine would try to stall, they repair the issue after a few days of having my vehicle and I drove it for a few months and then suddenly a few weeks ago the same exact issue occurred this time it took over a week for repair ...my problem is ...am I going to get three times lucky? What if I’m pulling out into traffic in the car stalls again ??? I live in a very busy part of town and this could be more than hazardous to my health

2017 Sonata

Poor front end design which puts parking curbs available to tear up front end spoiler. Result? Constant insurance repair. Driver seat's cheap plastic cover (to hide inner workings) breaks down every 14 months.

?

I love the looks of my car, rides smooth and comfortable. I'm disappointed. I had to take it in for coils and other work and they kept it 6 days because they had to order parts. It was sputtering and kinda dragging and still does some times. They didn't change spark plugs?? I thought my car is too new to have these problems at such low mileage. 8

Oil consumption

The car uses just over 1 quart of oil to 5,000 miles of driveing. That is far from my expectations of a new car. My 2005 Nissan Frontier has 100,000 miles and uses no oil at all. None of the Nissan vehicles I purchased in the past has ever used any oil.

Sonata

Great technology but not a reliable car. After two years trade in or sale. I do not recommend keeping a Hyundai past two years. Great for a first time car owner or a student. I have owned two Hyundai’s and found out it’s not wise to keep past year two Years thus I’m trading this month.

2017 sonata experience

Ok vehicle but has some floors. Service department would not be the most friendly folks when you have an issue. Brakes started to pulsate @ before it hit 30,000 miles and needed to replace front brakes and rotors which was very pricy even compared my 2012 mercedes Benz. Need a steering control module @ 50k miles. This was major safety issue. There several complains about similar issues with this Hyundai and the dealers always claim they can duplicate the problem

Sonata sport

Car is terrible in the snow and ice. It is too low to the ground. I have had a sonata before and this car is far less superior than the old model. It is very pretty and on dry land drives awesome but on a wet surface or ice forget about it. Better off with a SUV with all wheel drive!! What about making a sonata that is all wheel drive?

It’s ok

When I first bought the car it had impressive power and acceleration. After 10k miles it began to gradually fade and got worse as the miles continued to climb. I only have 38k and had a turbo replaced under warranty, but it still isn’t the same as when I bought it. Some days when I first crank it up it clunks and lunges forward as if momentarily in gear, but the dealer can’t duplicate it. Additionally it intermittently is completely unresponsive to throttle when the gas pedal is depressed which has nearly caused an accident on several occasions when going through traffic lights and intersections. On startup there is a good bit of ticking noise from the top end and I use Mobil 1 5w20 and ensure the level is full daily. Every day I drive it there are two consecutive loud clicks after slowing to a stop. The voice command function isn’t very intuitive and confuses obviously different names such as Jen and Jerald which forces me to take my hand off the wheel and eyes off the road to choose from a list of contacts, thus rendering the safety of “hands free” ineffective, though this is more of an annoyance compared to the safety items I already mentioned, and these have yet to be duplicated or diagnosed so I suppose I’m expected to just continue driving it this way until either something breaks and they can replace the failed parts or the car is totaled when I can’t get out of the way.
