Not worth the money!

I'm greatly disappointed by this car and the dealership. After 2 months of driving I started to feel very noticable vibration under the driver seat. The vibration gets a lot worse if AC is on. The AC keeps changing airspeed on it's own as I'm driving with steady speed. The volume up botton on the steering wheel stopped working after only 5 months. Took it to the dealership and they said nothing is wrong with the car and everything is up to company standard. That may be true and I gotta say the company has very low standards. They also said they will replace my volume up botton but because the car is new they dont have the parts and they need to place a national call on the part and they said they will contact me as soon as they get the part. That was 3 months ago and nothing has been fixed. The dealership also gave me an offer for an oil change package. After I purchased the package, I found out the offer was only valid at that dealership and not honored by other dealerships. Keep in mind I live in rural area and this dealership is an hour and half away from me, so I gotta keep going back to them for 3 years and theres no refund on the oil change package! The suspension system also sucks, you will feel even the smallest bombs on the road in your back. Very rough and stiff ride. Sometimes when I start the engine theres a loud clunk noise, but that doesn't happy often, so I haven't been able to prove it to the dealership. I will be writing this review on as many sites as I can, because I'm very unhappy with my car and the dealership could care less. Btw this is the victorville Hyundai in Victorville California. I have recorded conversations between me and the help desk technician and you would be surprised how rudely they treat their customers.

Bought our 2nd Hyundai Sonata in July of 2018. It now has 36500 miles on it. It's been a real good car. If there's any criticism it's that my husband,who is 6' tall wishes the front seat went back farther.If your main driver is 6' or more,you better really test drive it to make sure it's comfortable driving.I'm the main driver and I'm only 5'1 so it's fine for me.You can't beat the price for the quality of the Hyundai . Everyone I know that has one likes theirs too.Their quality has improved tremendously in the past 15 years since our 2008 model.Friends of ours just bought their 5th Hyundai; 3 Accents,1 Tuscon,+now a Santa Fe.Each one has been better than the previous. Hyundai's are a great value for the money.

An excellent car overall. Very stylish, smooth operation, at an affordable cost with one of the best warranties in the business. A TREMENDOUS VALUE for the $!
