Worst car I ever owned!

I have owned many cars and this one by far is the worst. Its bad on gas, burns oil and the steering is seriously messed up. I keep hearing how this manufacturer has come a long way, which makes me question how thats being measured. I Returned the first week of owning it. If you never driven any other car in the past 20 years this might be the car for you.

I have only had this car a month but absolutely love it. The gas milage is great. You can't get a better car for the money. No complaints.

Mouse Trap

I bought a 2013, used in October 2015. I have had steering issues, the paint is flying off the car, and I keep getting mice in my vehicle. My car does not sit, I drive it 90.2 miles per day and, the mice just keep coming. A week ago, I paid $110 to get a dead mouse removed from my heater motor. Took the car in for an oil change and signs of another mouse already in the cabin filter. This past summer, in the heat, I had a really bad odor in my car, found a dead mouse in the glove compartment. I have asked the dealership how to keep the mice out and they have no idea. My biggest fear is one eating the wiring harness. This issue is not covered under the extend, bumper to bumper warranty I paid $1800 for, it's considered maintenance issues. Before this car I had an Elantra, which I drove to 200,000 + miles, never an issue. This was my first Sonata and my last!!

Engine Shaking and Vibrating - Becareful..!

I bought a my first Hyundai ever.....2013 Sonata 2.4 GLS with 9,700 miles, after a couple days (( 85 miles )) I noticed and Shaking, Vibrating sensation that comes from the engine. This is very irritating and disturbing since Hyundai is suppose to be coming up with better quality, sad to say but this gives me much to worry about since it can only get worse as I add miles to the car. I never had this issue with cars., so I'll be taking back to the dealer for service. After finding about this issue I wish I would have bought from Toyota, or Nissan. Very discouraging. If you do decide to buy this car make sure that you get their Top Service Warranty.
