Hyundai Sonata

"Brake light would not turn off and would drain the battery"

"Local mechanics say replacing right rear brake light did not work and is likely related to the electrical system that also causes the 4th A/C fan speed to not work and for the headlights to flash when the turn signal activates/deactivates."

"Key fob stopped working"

"The a/c compressor has had to be replaced twice in four years. The ac system is incompatible with most diagnostic devices. The problem with the compressor was the controller on both occasions, not mechanical."

"Cooling system was not working and AC compressor was replaced 07/2023"

"after ac compressor was replaced, the heating system stopped working. This was found to be a defect in the drivers side temp motor and this was replaced 11/06/2023"

"When accelerating over45-50 mph the car would vibrate violently. The calipers would stick. I needed new calipers, rotor and brakes."

"Brakes need to be replaced more often then they should"

"Caliper rust brake pads used put every thing new should be good for another 100000 miles"

"The engine was defective from the factory. At 70,000 miles is seized. Due to lack of oil change receipts Hyundai refused to warranty the engine. We spent $6k to replace with a used engine."

"Original engine failed while driving. Hyundai honored a recall and replaced engine with a rebuilt one."

"Valve cover leak"

"My engine was burning oil, requiring oil to be added every 2 months. Hyundai put in some sort of cleaner about a year ago. That seemed to remedy the problem until about a month ago. I discovered the oil was low again, after just having it changed 2 months prior. I will have to take it in to see if they can clean it again or find a new vehicle, soon."

"The door lock actuator only intermittently works on the driver's door."

"Temperature sensors and possibly also fans stopped working and car overheated to where we were stranded with two kids and decided to get a second, newer car for any trips with the kids. Once those were fixed there is still another undiagnosed engine light that has already come back on after only a few more days driving."

"Problem is not resolved. I know it will be costly to fix so I'm driving gently hoping this Hyundai will last until I can buy a new car."
