Hyundai Sonata

"vehicle more susceptible to theft by failure to install immobilizer"

"Thermostat needed replacement"

"The only thing I don't like about this car is that it burns oil, about 1 quart per 1000 miles. Other than that it has been a fairly reliable, comfortable car. Also, the radio has a tendency to "lock up" (can't change station, volume, etc.). There is a small hole, like on a computer CD drive, that you have to poke with a paper clip, sometimes more than once, to reset the radio."

"@3 y ago Engine lost power, I was able to get to the dealer, left the car there, they replaced the oil and told me that they may replace the engine at low or no cost, then they changed their mind and end up replacing a sensor, and told me to bring the car to the dealer every 1000 miles, I noticed that the car was burning oil and they were filling up every time, they couldn't pinpoint why and till now the car is still burning oil, at the same time Relative to the paint, the top of the car started peeling off from front to back. Dealer sent it to a paint shop, they fixed the problem at no charge and they gave me a rental car for a week.2 years later the problem came back in other parts of the car they were going to charge me @ $3k and I told them that it was not acceptable, they end up charging me only $185 and I had to rent a car for a couple of days. After 7 years I started adding oil and gas additives and that has helped to reduce the oil problem."

"Valve cover leak. I personally replaced the gasket"

"Engine burning oil, but no smoke and still usable. Replace oil pan."

"Arm rest material falling apart . I will need to replace it"

"Side panel with seat controls pops loose from the seat. Still works fine, can be popped back on, will will come loose again."

"Back brake lights bulb keeps burning out. Mechanic advised to replace wiring"

"We bought this 2016 sonata used with about 35k miles on it. It has been a decent car. Shortly after we bought it I noticed that the steering wheel has certain positions off center that feel like there is a bind. This is especially noticeable on the highway going around a continuous bend. The steering wheel feels like there is a notch where it hesitates going into and out of the turn and it is not a smooth operation to bring it back to center. A mechanic said it needed a new steering column, which is unacceptable for a car that was at the time only a few years old with less than 75k miles."

"Axle bearings began clicking whenever making a right hand turn from a stop sign. After about 4 to 6 weeks I took the car into the dealer and the left front axle was replaced for $1200.00. It was the first major repair the car has required in 6 years."
