Hyundai Sonata

"Brakes were squeaking/grinding so car went to the shop. It needed Calipers, rotors, pads, shoes, and the parking brake cable. Car had gone about 195,000 miles, so it wasn't too much of a surprise"

"In January 2018 I had front brake work (pads and rotors) done. Also left upper control arm was replaced. I regard it as normal maintenance."

"Needed rear rotor repair and brake pads"

"The rear brake pads and rotors wore out at about 36,400 miles. Front pads have not needed replacement yet."

"Rear brakes simply wore out"

"It was just time to do it"

"Had never had brake problems before. Was discovered under required state inspection. I got a second opinion. However, the back bakes still squeak"

"Rotors were out of round, got hot during a road trip and started vibrating while braking on downward hill."

"Had both front and rear rotors and brakes repaired twice in 3 years"

"I was told that I needed to replace the rotors and calipers by PEP Boys. Actually, my trustworthy told me that the rotors were worn but the calipers were reusable. My mechanic told me that 'turning the rotors' was feasible, but new rotors were inexpensive online."

"Again it was just time to do it"

"For the second time since purchasing this car, we had to replace brakes & rotors. Less than 38000 miles on car"

"Brake shops used to turn rotors routinely to true them up. This requires a lathe and time. I think they realized that it is much and cheaper,(for them) to just tell us we need NEW rotors"

"Brakes squeak when you back up . Does it all the time. Had it examined by an independent service garage Can't seem to correct it"

"Black trim dividing rear passenger window has peeled and is down to bare metal. Happened once before and was covered under warranty, not covered now"

"visors, console and many other parts break or fall off"

"drivers sun visor broke which I had to replace as I understand that this has been a problem with the sonata line"

"paint has faded in fairly large places on the exterior of the car"

"Paint fade on lower front panel early on not in last 12 months"

"Some of the trim molding has faded or chipped off. I have also recently noticed tiny rust spots starting to form"

"Paint flaking off when washing car with low pressure household water hose. Chips very easy. Started in past 12 months"

"This vehicle was purchased in Massachusetts and driven in NH for six years. How we are in NC, but needless to say, salt and treatment on roads and highways can cause damage over time. This only started to show in the past year."

"This refers to the excessive emissions white smoke from the exhaust"

"Excess fuel apparently injected by low mileage and prolonged white combustion smoke srom the exhaust"

"fuel pump failed- engine would not run required towing to dealer and replacement"

"Fuel Pump caused the car to stall for several years until finally it caused the car not to start. It was only when the car refused to start did we discover it was the fuel pump. I did notice a dip in fuel economy while the fuel pump was not working"

"Among the many problems we had with this car, the check engine light keeps going on. Long story short the car has been in the shop several times for leaks in the evap system and the last time we just had the whole fuel pump replaced as there was a cr"

"check engine light stays on, mechanic has charged us over $1000 and still can't identify the problem except to say the codes are for the catylic converter & oxygen sensors"

"A part on the front right needed to be replaced. I cannot remember what it was called. Loud squeaking until it was replaced. By right passenger tire well"

"I purchased this car as a used product in 2008. Ever since then, the front left (driver's) side has had squeaks and rattles that are more pronounced during the winter months. In addition, the right passenger window also rattles, also more pronounced during the winter months. During the spring, summer and fall seasons, hardly any noises!"

"Right front suspension developed rattle sound over bumps. Had one shop look at it. Replaced both front shocks. No resolution. Had Hyundai dealership look at it. Hyundai dealership replaced right front struts. Seems to fix it. Returned about six months or so later."

"Apparently, a rear spring is the culprit. It mostly will squeak when hitting a bump or pothole. This happens fairly consistently."

"Passneger side visor would not stay in rectracted position"

"a gust of wind actually cracked the casing on the driver's side mirror and because of that I had to get the entire thing replaced for a total of $487. Unbelievably, the dealer could not just replace the plastic casing. Very poor quality plastic cas"

"wheel speed sensor to one wheel became disconnected and the throttle position sensor malfunctioned causing the engine to not respond to the gas pedal and idle at 2000 rpm"

"I'm not a mechanic."

"A week ago, my car refused to turn over four times while trying to start. My mechanic said that it could be the starter, alternator and/or ignition switch. So, as of today, I still don't know what the problem is/was! The car has since started fine and operated well."

"starter failed"

"Starter failed requiring full replacement"

"Car failed to start. Dealer replaced starter and starter relay"
