Poor AC system.

Air condition wont work very often. Service center couldnt even fix it with 3 times of visited. May be im having to issue cause I leased this Car from Star hyundai, they don't even care after I leased the car. I had to take this car go service center 3 times with same ac issue in 3 monthes. and made me wait for 5 days~ 14days to get done. And this car still has same issue, I have to take this car to the serivce center again and waste of my time. They also made me to pay for the rent car.

BAD ENGINE 2018 SONATA

The fact that a car has a bad engine is not an individual problem but to be treated bad by the Customer Service Department is no excurse for a Business. This is my second sonata I owned a 2014 and never had this type of problem but I never dealt with Hyundai Customer service.

Would never buy a Hyundai vehicle again

With less than 6 months on the tires, I have had to change a tire and go a couple of months while repairs were being made. The vehicle has great acceleration and interior room. However, i can't count on its reliability.

2018 Sonata Sport

The 2018 Sonata looks and rides great. The infotainment system is great and influence my decision to purchase the Sonata over the Camry. Also, my previous car was 2011 Hyundai, which I had very good luck with. However, the engine of the 2018 is very noisy and it sounds like a diesel engine. I sounds like a vehicle with 200K miles on it. I normally drive my vehicles for 100K+ miles, but will be trading this car in with only 24K miles.

Unsafe Headlight System

I love the 2018 Sonata, but the dangerous and distracting headlight system in low light conditions overshadows the rest of the great features. The headlights create a shadow about 30 feet ahead with two shadow notches that race across your field of vision when making turns or going uphill/downhill. I really that a person or animal was running out in front of the car when I first drove it at night.

Not happy with this car.

Car breaks down with less then 7;000 miles. Had to pay over $40.00 in tolls just to get it back to NJ. WE DID NOT MAKE IT TO OUR MY GRAND DAUGHTER'S GRADUATION BECAUSE THE CAR BROKE DOWN. CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LEASE IS UP TO RETURN THIS CAR.

terrible experience

This is the worst excuse of a car that I have ever seen 3 engine failures within 5 months, what more do I have to say. Thought it was going to be a great car to purchase into my retirement years, what a mistake I made.

One year...two many engine problems

I'm just sad that I have to take my car back to the dealership for the second time in a 3-month span for the same issues when I thought this was a trusted and brand that values customers yet this is not what I'm experiencing.

Poor Customer Service and Product!

Nine months after purchasing a new 2018 Sonata with less than 50 miles, we have had to take to the dealership 4 times for the same issue. All four times it was the engine. We opened a claim with the Better Business Bureau Auto-line because we were not getting any kind of resolution with Hyundai. Finally after the fourth time the car was in the shop, they contacted about buying back the car through our state's Lemon Law. After all their calculations, we would have to pay them in order to get out of this nightmare of a car they sold us. Our other option was to take a lump sum and keep the car. We would continue to make payments and hope and pray nothing else goes wrong with our "new car" because at that point we would not be able to file another claim. I am beyond frustrated. We brought the car because it was new, had low mileage, and came with this great warranty. The warranty is great because the cars suck. We've wasted time and money on one of the biggest purchases a family will make. We can't even take the car out of town in fear that the engine will lock up while on the highway which is a HUGE safety issue. The lack of compassion by this company is disappointing. We would have been better off buying a used car. I will never recommend buying a car from Hyundai to family, friends, or enemies. They sold us a bad vehicle and refuse to make it completely right. Never again.

Vibration from day one that they can not fix

Was told vibration was a tire out of balance during test drive. After 2 complete sets of tires, new rims, numerous balances, and realizing all Sonatas on lot vibrate. Hyundai Corp determined that vibration was a characteristic of the car instead of the design flaw they know it is. This vibration will throw water out of a water bottle in cup holder. Hyundai Corp knows they have a problem and will fight Lemon Law actions so they never have to recall. I have owned numerous other Hyundai vehicles including the Sonata I traded in on this one ( that did not vibrate ever) and this is my last. Sales people still telling those who inquire about vibration, that it is a tire out of balance knowing it can not be fixed by tire balancing. Make them balance tires prior to buying!

DO NOT BUY

Steering wheel and/or vehicle have been misaligned since purchase; 2 dealers completed "alignments" and nothing changed - then accused me of lying. Vehicle has 6,400 miles and I still need to hold (turn) the wheel to "3 o'clock" in order to drive straight. Suspension is garbage. Spend some extra money and buy Honda, Toyota etc.

Very poor

This vehicle was the worse car I have ever lease or purchase. It has left me stranded 5 hours away from home. And that’s not that first time. It has happened to me three times. Have addressed the issue with the dealership and also the corporate offices to terminate my lease a get me into a more reliable car. But they wouldn’t do so as they didn’t want to lose out on the 11 months left on the lease. (You see, someone has to pay the finance balance that’s due )The dealership wanted to tack that amount onto the new vehicle that I would lease. Corporate was just as bad. What ever happened to those customer service people that cared about what you are going through? That would really take an interest in trying to satisfy the customer. I guess all good things come to an end.
