Used 2011 Hyundai Sonata Consumer Reviews
Quality is suspect
I bought this car after two other Hyundai's with VERY high hopes. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. From the moment I took delivery, the infamous glove box squeak. Rattles, out of place trim pieces, and other ungodly noises from everywhere. With upgraded audio, doors rattle at volume. Ride is EXTREMELY rough in this vehicle at all trim levels. The positive? It does extremely well in an an accident. I rear-ended a girl going nearly 40 miles per hour; the airbag deployed and the front-end crumpled exactly as designed. I walked away with ZERO injuries; not even a scratch. Those that have come to appreciate Hyundais value-oriented quality will be disappointed by this car.
Dont believe the hype!
Hyundai does not stand behind what they make. The 100k warranty is a joke. Talk about a noisy ride and a rattle box! They are no Toyota. I am waiting for the electrical problems to start. Stay away from Keffer Hyundai of Charlotte!

Love my Car, Comfy, convenient controlls
The disappointing part: before I bought it, Consumer Reports said to use caution when purchaseing a vehicle in its first year of redo and updating., (2011 in this case). I loved this car right away with all the technology, comfort, easy access to controls, over the top temperature comfort. I sit on a pillow to give me better views, not conducive for short/medium dirivers. expecially when checking out windows traffic , blind spots seem to be a challenge. I wish there were some high tech sollution (standard equipment) to this problem. I took off the rear head support restraint so I could see a little better. But as with everything you adjust to mangage the drawback. Standard safety equipment should be standard in every similar vehicles with the same challenges. My love affair became strained when I checked for recalls and tech reports. Their were approx 10 RECALLS. of which few could be fixed, but they couldn,t get repair parts to repair the problems. I have had steering coupling ordered for 7 months. The driving mechanisms is deteriating, expect to send me into the drink! I check Carflex, they already show "12 reports". One man RECALLS, I am cautioned about hight risk of loss of control, lose brakes, chance of fire. Scarry! WHAT CAN I DO?? CHECK LEMON LAW?? SELL IT TO ANOTHER SUCKER??

Poor Quality
Needs a redesign. Bumber can not clear sidewalk when parking head on. Exterior falls apart easily.
