2009 Hyundai SONATA consumer reviews

Having this car for a year. Has some minor issues. However, absolutely love it. AH H H HH H HH HH H H H H

We bought a 2009 Hyundai Sonata back in 2011 with 77k miles. Although it was a comfortable car, it was not very reliable, about a year after we got it we were on the road and all of sudden the car kept stalling so we pulled over into a Hotel and tried to see what the issue was, the car would not start anymore and we didn't want to risk flooding the engine. It was not the battery, It turns out the starter broke and needed to be replaced and apparently this model year had a recall on starters so there goes 600 dollars out the door. Other issues were the wheel hub and bearing had to be replaced on the one of the wheels and then the caliper because the brake started burning up and looked as though it was overheating and driving the car was dangerous at that point. Also brake lights and headlight bulbs started running out after a year which I thought was kind of weird for a car that was only 3 years old. The last thing was the transmission started jerking and kicking every time we began slowing down at a light or stop sign and that was very annoying. Overall is was a nice car, but had too many issues, pickup was lackluster, the car value was bad it depreciated very quickly, after 2 years of owning the car it was worth only 6 or 7 grand. I would not recommend this year model. Better off purchasing the newer models.

It's a good first car for teenagers, suspension is a bit quirky but nothing to dangerous just makes for a less than smooth ride nothing too bad.

bought the 09 sonata used, w/39k miles, in 2010. have 280k on it now, and it still does everything well. can go anywhere. has been the most reliable, trouble free car i have ever owned. no leaks, uses no oil. body is still pretty tight and the silver paint, other than road debris dings, still looks good. with me, reliability and economy are primary concerns. still trouble free and still delivers 30+ on the highway, so we will be together for a while longer.

The review from Mobile, AL is not for this specific car. It is about a 2009 Sonata, SE in general. There have been NO mechanical issues with this car.

This car has absolutely no mechanical issues. Totally reliable and comfortable to drive. I just purchased a 2020 Sonata SEL because my 2009 Sonata SE has been so great for the 11 years I have owned it.

I bought the car (2009 Hyundai Sonata Limited) at roughly 135k miles, and have actually had only one issue in the 20k miles I have driven it so far. The only issue I had was my compressor went out, which was definitely pricey to fix but that's just how it goes with newer vehicles. Had to replace a TPMS sensor because it died, but that's it. No check engine lights, no issues with brakes or mechanical issues at all. I love the way it drives, very smooth and definitely gets up to speed when you want it to. I will say that the suspension isn't the best, you definitely feel almost every bump. Speed bumps are hellacious in this car, even with a mechanic confirming everything was still tight. I would recommend this car to anyone. Sound system is really nice, too. I also am a fan of the heated seats and steering wheel controls.

I own 2009 Hyundai Sonata 2.4 L model. Ever since i have bought this vehicle, i haven't rented any car for long trips. This car is very comfortable. Have Leather seats, heated seats, i have changed the music system / receiver (replaced with Sony which has bluetooth - wow it sounds so good on infinity speakers). Have been driving since 4 years and have no issues .. bought when it had 86K miles and now it has 136K miles and going strong. Definitely worth than Toyota Camry and Honda Accord which has cheap interiors.

Loved this car ! Very reliable ! Just need a little TLC. Been in my garage about 5 months so I keep talking . And

I cannot believe how comfortable this car is, roomy, all electric, sunroof, heated seats,,much more pleasurable to drive and ride in than my suv I had previously. I love the Sirius xm radio, which sounds great in my Infinity radio the car has in it..
