Hyundai Sonata Change Vehicle

“Auto headlight shutoff didnot work several times killing the battery”

“I've had to replace both headlight bulbs twice. One would burn out so I replaced both”

“Frequent replacement of light bulbs”

“One headlight stays noticeably dimmer, and has burned out on average every 4-5 months”

“We have replace headlights at least 8 times during the life of the car, Sometime both headlights went bad at the same time”

“We replace headlights at least once a year, sometimes more often than that. I've never used as many headlights in a vehicle as this car requires”

“I seem to replace headlight bulbs every 6-7 months”

“The center brake light failed and unlike the headlights, there is no remedy in the owners manual to fix this light. It must be taken to a dealer for them to R & R the light at a high cost. My opinion: Big design flaw by Hyundai's engineers”

“Warranty repair of the electrical harness caused the car parking lights not to turn off when the car was stopped and turned off (ignition key). Replacing the driver headlight unit was tried first but worked for a while then the problem came back and was tried twice. It was finally diagnosed at the Hyundai dealership that the harness was the problem, but at almost the end of the 10 year extended warranty we had purchased. The problem was an issue for more than 3 years”

“The bulb in the brake light on the rear window has burned out twice. To replace it you have to go through the trunk and rip out lining”

“Tail lights blow out often”

“have a short somewhere that blows fuses caused by one of the running lights”

“Third taillight bar required replacing”

“lock system breaking down slowly, one door at a time. Very expensive to fix $400++ per door”

“Tire pressure warning light is intermittent”

“i had to bring back to dealership due to the tps light came on several times since i owned the car”

“The dealer reset the sensor in the tire rather than replacing it. Two weeks later, it went out again. This had happened at least once before. We were disappointed in service, so did not go back”

“The calipers on the rear brakes have frozen multiple times”

“Parking brake fail to release tow to shop”

“I was replacing the breaks every 6 months the dealer did not know why the breaks were so warn given the low number of miles driven”

“Replaced rear brakes pads for 2 Nd time. Front only once”

“Rusting of brakes causing premature replacement”

“The Hyundai mechanic showed me the wear, and we replaced (or did we simply even-out the wear? I think we replaced”

“Rust on rear rotors and calipers”

“Take the brakes for service; when done, they still squeak. Told that's the way the Sonata's go”

“Left front brake system made rubbing noise when braking even after new pads and rotor turned”

“Should have gone in for brakes earler”

“extremely loud metal on metal at 56000 miles”

“Brake linings completely worn out”

“Brake pads were wearing down. Had to get the brake pads and I believe brakes replaced, not sure”

“Replaced rear pads and rotors at 65000 miles. Found that Sonata is ,overall,very trouble free and reliable”

“Power steering return line and rack were leaking. Had to replace gear and linkage assembly, tubes, hoses”

“broken hydrulic line”

“Problem was not noticed by Hyundai service during routine inspection. Repairs were completed under extended warranty and required 5 days due to parts and had a rental car”

“The power steering was leaking and I was advised by two different mechanics to get it repaired. One replaced the power steering system. Works fine now. There were no driving problems before the replacement”

“Struts went bad very quickly and suddenly, and even after replaced, ride is still not as smooth or quiet as it was before. Could be other suspension issues”

“Rack and pinion had a whining sound. Originally while car was under warranty they said it was normal. Just out of warranty (time) they said it needed replacing.It was eventually replaced under warranty”

“Covered under previous account”
