Do not buy a Sonata!!!

Get ready to stress out if you buy a 2014 Sonata. Your alarm will go off on the middle of the night and the dealerships are clueless of how to fix it. But most importantly the engine blows up. Good luck.

Love my Sonata

I purchased Sonata in 2016 with 32k and to tell you the truth i loved it. I was very meticulous with all the upkeep on my cars and sad to say the engine blew at 81k. I looked online and found that there was a class action lawsuit and by verifying my car by Vin # my car was affected so to make a long story short I'm so happy to say that Hyundia replaced my engine and took care of 2 recalls that were on it. The care and thought that the customer service reps handling this whole ordeal were very professional and kept me updated thu the whole process they were beautiful. I've had 3 Hyundia's in my lifetime and so now the question is would I buy another one No! However if they came out with another Tiberon, I would buy it in a heartbeat so for now I'll just keep loving my Sonata she rides like a dream.

Brakes!! Battery!! Too much $$$$

I have owned this car for 8 years and it is digging me to death. I put out $1854 last May for the hybrid battery. It came back to me with the brake light sensor coming on every once in awhile. Then it stayed on. I had my brakes checked - absolutely nothing wrong. Now this gawd awful beeping started sounding off. I take it in they tell me "it is the boost kit. Oh and it will cost $1800 to repair". What the xxxx? I will never buy another hyundai or hybrid ever!!!
