Great design but poor quality and terrible service

Too many mechanical issues troughout the life of the car,but most were repaired through warranty till 60k. Car is heavier or at least feels heavier than normal mid size sedans. Poor traction due to preloaded struts. Feels too rough with all the weight on the suspention. Poor performance on potholes and uneven pavement. Steering too slow. Takes extra effort with steering wheel to get it to respond. Electric breakes were noisy and sluggish since day one. First major repair was a break booster at 75k miles. Cost with dealer about $3000. As soon as that was fixed new problem. Car just died while driving Warning light: • No “EV Ready” mode or “Ready” light blinks on and off • Check Engine light on • Charging warning light on • “Wrench” symbol (Service Indicator) blinks on and off Drivability symptoms: • Vehicle will not move from a stop or gasoline engine will not turn on. • Warning in the instrument cluster display: “Hybrid System Warning! Safely stop and Do Not Drive” and/or alarm sound. Had to be towed to shop and diagnosed with code P1B77 again not covered by powertrain warranty. Repair cost about $1000. Also very hard to find anyone who knows how to fix them,even dealer mechanics are clueless. Do not buy this car used. Only good till 60k miles while on warranty.

Got this car in 2018 with 64,000 miles.. it drove fine for the first year and then I got the first hybrid battery damage warning ⚠️!! Told me to pull over or slow down so I did I had it towed to the shop were they told me I needed a new car battery not the hybrid battery and everything else was good .. about six months later I’m driving again same thing happens this time I get it towed to the dealership they tell me nothing is wrong no codes came up.. so I think to myself Ok.. two months later same thing happens and dealership tells me nothing came up when they ran it for fault codes checked it all over .. it has happened four more times and each time they tell me the same thing. Great car drives good great gas mileage but very very unreliable I had to stop on the freeway twice and that’s very dangerous I would not advise us to get this car.. however if you really want one go with the nonhybrid Version..

Grateful for warranty - New engine AND battery

I purchased my 2015 Limited Sonata Hybrid with 58,000 miles. Grateful Hyundai has a generous warranty. Within the first month, I knew something was terribly wrong. I took it to my local dealer who was a strong advocate on my behalf. Bottom line, within the first two months both the hybrid battery and engine was replaced! Grateful I bought it under warranty because both big ticket items were covered. However, if I had purchased it out of warranty the repairs would have cost approximately $18,000 according to the dealership! The mileage is OK but not great for a hybrid. The repairs are just too expensive. I can’t believe a car with less than 60,000 had a bad battery and engine! Strangely enough, I like the look of the car and really enjoy driving it now. I will drive this until the next big issue comes up. I just don’t trust it overall. I am grateful to the dealership and glad Hyundai did the right thing in the end by covering the repairs. The battery went bad at 61,000k and they still replaced it!

Bought Frank new and have been very pleased with the economy of this great driving sedan. Good power, nice that it will cruise just over 70 mph with the electric motor. Over 85k miles and no issues - just factory recommended services, oil changes and a set of tires after 70k. The full sun roof is nice when touring with out of town back seat visitors so they have a great view. I enjoy the full sound of the entertainment system as I do a lot of highway miles. There is some road noise.

Love the car. Only complaint would be lack of engine power when shifting between electric and gas motor. Doggy when making a turn from dead stop.
