Bad engines

At 7 years and 65,500 miles, the engine of our 2014 Sonata seized while driving on the highway 175 miles from home. Luckily, we were able to stop safely. The closest Hyundai dealership is telling us it will take 1.5 to 2 months to even look at the car and tell us if the engine failure qualifies for the recall or will be taken under warranty, and if it is, roughly the same time to order and receive the engine. They refused to provide a loaner or rental car at their expense and their only answer was to get in line. They also insinuated that we didn't maintain the car properly when in fact we followed the manufacturer's maintenance schedule and even put full synthetic oil since the car was new. We were also insulted by an offer to buy the car from us for $500 in its current state. We are terribly disappointed by the poor reliability and customer service and advise against buying Hyundai.

well worth it

This is our second sonata and both vehicles have performed very well. No major problems with either car. The cars get great mileage and are well worth the price. Only 2 drawbacks that I can mention. The first is that the ride is not exactly smooth. That being said, it isn't bumpy either. We changed the tires out at 60,000 miles and the ride became smoother, but still not as smooth as I would have hoped. Understand the later years have solved this trouble though with a new suspension system. Only other issue (and it is not related to the car directly) is that the price for maintenance varies way too much among different Hyundai dealers. Some charge way too much for oil and tire rotations while others are more in line with what you would expect.

The best commuter car

This car is a great balance of economy, comfort and reliability, low beam headlights stink, but a cheap upgrade to white lights and Robles solved.
