ongoing engine oil leak

My car has been leaking engine oil for the last several years. After going through the required series of oil consumption test, the dealership told me Hyundai would contact me about fixing the problem. Well, I did not hear anything from Hyundai nor the dealership. Now I am going through the series of oil consumption test again, and I have to pay for them and for an engine cleaning, totaling almost $1,000. My wife said I got a lemon!

Horrible Used Car - 0 stars

Bought used for my child’s first car. Felt like it was overpriced but it seemed in good shape. The dealer said their car wash was down so they couldn’t was it that day. Next day (Sunday), my daughter washed it and huge strips of paint started coming off. We were devastated! And now know why their car wash was “down” - panicked , I started googling and sure enough the Hyundai white paint has been an issue for years. The dealer agreed to fix the paint in the trunk and a couple other spots that came off. Less than 3 months later it’s chipped everywhere; this car that I’m paying on for years to come now looks like a total piece of crap. The struts have had to be replaced. And the oil is burning out within just a few weeks. I wish we’d never bought this car! Should have bought Honda/Toyota!!

This is what they mean by looks aren’t everything!

This car looks good and is comfortable until it’s terrifying! For two years I’ve had nothing but issues with the exterior parts of the engine. Multiple times a month and year hung without a vehicle. Local dealership doesn’t listen to me because I’m a single female. Can’t sell it either because of all the issues . Cannot get a local rep to return my calls and corporate just plays a game of pass the buck. I’ll never purchase another Hyundai again !

Excellent performance and amenities

Nothing more to add - it has been a very good car since purchase in 2016. It has good lines - more attractive than most other cars on the road (including the pricey ones) and has held up well mechanically.

Theft prone.

I have about 36000 miles on this 2016 Hundai Sonata Eco. It is well constructed and fun to drive. The main problem has been vulnerability to theft, which is a real problem here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The manufacturer has been very slow to respond with a fix for this problem. The first help was provided by a nonprofit which gave out free steering wheel locks. Much later, the car was recalled for a software fix. The delay was a PR blunder of major proportions.

Leaks oil

Leaks oil from drain plug. Replaced valve cover gasket, lower oil pan, and plug…still leaks a quart every 3 days. Gas mileage is good, runs strong. I would probably give Hyundai another chance with a brand new one. I did put 40,000 miles on it in one year.

Would be a Great Car With Engine Issue

The Sonata Sport is a nice looking car to own, with great mileage and comfortable, its only drawback is the engine is prone to using excessive oil and might quit without notice! It's a serious fight to get Hyundai to replace it before it quits and for this reason, I encourage people not to purchase it. asktarance.com

Beautiful car, runs great, but has NO headroom!

Hyundai’s drive smoothly and the “loaded” models are nicely appointed. However this model has NO headroom. I thought I’d get used to it but I have not. It also has a lot of blind spots. I am constantly dipping my head and craning my neck to make simple turns. I am only 5’8” tall.

2016 Hyundai Sonata

I purchased my car in Turnersville (Brian) was my salesman, very professional. This is my second Hyundai and if I every decide to purchase another car, Hyundai would definitely be my choice, but I would get a different color.

Great car, handles well, very roomy best car I have ever owned.

I would say that this car is really a great car for the price and the way it handles. It has plenty of room front and back and a large trunk. I have had a lot of compliments from people that have ridden in it.

Lots of issues

There have been a lot of electrical issues with this car and I have had steady problems with it since I got it. Ontop of that when I bring it to Hyundai they are less than helpful and never care to help you.

Very good car. Good on gas and oil. Low maintenance care.

Low maintenance care. Very good riding car. Very stylish and easy to keep clean. Good quality for your money. I will always buy Hydunai Sonata. They are the best car to have and buy new or used. I hope day I will be able to get the new Hydunai they have a very trendy look.

What wrong.

2016 Sonata has lousy paint. Has had 3 or 4 recalls. The paint really makes me ticks me off, especially with the 30,000 mile warranty. If you were proud of yourself paint workmanship it would have a 60,000 mile paint warranty. It seems your paint warranty is so short because you know the paint is bad.
