2021 Sonata hybrid limited issues

2021 Hyundai Sonata Limited 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

After owning a 2012 sonata hybrid. My wife decided she missed hers. So we bought a 2021. While we love most things about the car. Here are the issues we’ve had. 1) noise in the front right side like a break dragging etc. (1) dealership said it was dust on the breaks and needed the brakes cleaned. Now it’s been 30 years since I was in auto mechanics. But I’ve never heard of a car needing brake dust cleaned off the rotors. Especially at 20k Miles. Also not covered by warranty. 2) The radio navigation system locked up 1 hour into a 6 hour drive. After I tried using voice calling on the car. After researching. The only way to fix it was shutting it off for several hours. 3) after having the brakes looked at. My wife went on a 5 hour trip. After returning home. We found that the under cover had came loose. Note she didn’t hit anything. But it also caused the wheel well cover to come loose.(3) Well those don’t just come loose. Ok give me a quote $600. 4) the navigation system Would say Unavailable try again. (4) we’ll see if an update fixes this issue.

I have the non turbo 2.5. The car seems sluggish on the low end. The radio is malfunctioning at 6K miles and displays an HD station when there is none. The sound seems weak. I could not get the Bose because I did not want the Turbo. A cars warranty is only good if Hyundai would Honors it. As of now Hyundai refuses to fix My radio in My 6-month-old Car. I bought the car New.

I purchased the Phantom Gray .. very pretty color and kinda looks like black with speckles. Nice smooth ride, easy to handle on the road. Its been about 2.5 years later and its still running smoothly. I have no complaints about this car except I wish Hyundai would have the passenger seat able to adjust like the drivers seat. Its kinda silly to have adjustments on just the drivers side unless you pay extra for it. It should be standard.

A very nice car with a lot of safety and tech features. Fun to drive for us Baby Boomers. Downside is a lot of the features are controlled all over the dash and can have a lot of small icons that are hard to find for for a Boomer.. I bought for the extensive safety features, but are being negated by brake problems. Brakes are very grabby and just about impossible to make a gentle smooth stop. Been to dealer twice and they said nothing wrong. FOR THAT REASON WOULD NOT BUY AGAIN!

Really really happy

I really digged the new design on the sonata. I'm coming from an Audi sq5 and I'm not really missing much to be honest. Compared to the Kia, Toyota, Nissan etc offerings I felt like the design and interior were just way above. The Honda offerings come close but I'd still give a little edge to Hyundai. The standard safety features are great to see. Compared to Audi and Sunbury I've driven with lane tracing and adaptive cruise it's the best imo. The Audi constantly thinks your hands are off the wheel and the Sunbury bounces in lanes a little. Love the key fob remote start and the app is somehow miles ahead of the Audi app (Audi app was by far the worst I've used sadly). The turbo has enough pep to keep me happy, and I find the road noise to be great. Really no complaints at all the first couple weeks owning!
