2011 Hyundai Sonata consumer reviews

My 2011 Hyuandai Sonata was performing ok before a year ago. First, I started hearing a knocking sound. Next, the headlights started blinking out for a second, then come back on. Dangerous during the night. This year, the airbag, engine, seat belt, and skid lights come on. Last week my car started to jerk like someone shifted gears while driving. That’s when the skid light come on. It started losing pressure on the highway last week when I tried to increase my speed and then picked back up. I can’t unlock the doors and trunk with the key fobs and they are new. It’s using a lot of gas when previously it didn’t. I’m losing oil from somewhere. I love my car but now it feels like a ghost car. I have had it for two years. Smooth driving. Nice size. Hope to have it for additional years if dealership can fix what’s wrong without me having to pay 1000’s of dollars. Someone please help me. That’s my only means of transportation to work.

I've owned a Sonata 2.0T Limited since 2011. Only major issue was metal shavings in the engine block. Hyundai installed a new engine and everything us been perfect for the next 47K miles. I'm also 6'5" and over 300Lbs but I'm always comfortable when driving or being a passenger in the front seat. I would buy another one but my wife wants something higher to stay above the traffic.

Engine failure came close to burning up,ignition failure, couldn't get key in or out. Had to have ignition replaced, poor wiring on tail lights,needed to be replaced. No recall on any of those issues except they replaced the engine, took 5 months

It's been a great reliable car for me I've had Nothing but great experience & amazing trips in my sonata Some stuff failed but they were under warranty & got replaced Hassle free!

I have done all of the recalls on my Hyundai Sonata along with many many trips to my mechanic. Over $5000 in repairs. It is in dependable

I've had this car for 11 years and aside from having the engine replaced (thanks to Hyundai's extended engine warranty it cost me nothing) and a couple of minor recalls (at Hyundai's expense), I've had zero problems with this car. Just do regular maintenance, get with a good mechanic (my car is Firestone'd), take care of your car and it will take care of you. The dealership I bought it from keeps sending me "We want your car" letters even after all these years, but unless they want to trade my used fully paid for car for one of their new fully paid for cars, they can't have it. At the rate I drive, I intend to keep this car for at least another 10 years.

I thought it was a nice car but have had nothing but problems with it. Some that were under recall and they won't reimburse me. I will never buy another hyundai product in my life. Horrible car

This vechile has had numerous recalls. Granted the Dealer has repaired, at no cost, however I feel the service techs were substandard. I've got less than 30K miles on new engine (Which was a recall replacement) and I have replaced the fuel pump 3X and the air compressor once. The headlight screws broke, therefore they fell out. HYUNDAI did nothing...classified them as an accessory. When replacement of engine occurred,and tune up performed..they never replaced the spark plugs...so recently I was informed that the plugs were the original . I have put a lot of $$$ into this vechile. I am a senior and cannot afford a car payment. I think the quality control of Hyundai is substandard.

I absolutely loved this car. Excellent ride, great speed, manual transmission, excellent sound system, beautiful car. It was one of my favorite cars I have owned. You will love it.

This car has met all of my needs. With proper maintenance it has lasted 10 years. I would highly recommend buying a Sonata. You’re sure to have many years of enjoyment.
