Engine failed 72K, no help from Hyundai - 2012 Hyundai Sonata
By wv_mazda - July 11 - 5:47 pmThe lower end of my 2.4 L Sonata failed at 72500 miles under normal driving conditiuons. It has had an oil change every 5000 miles. Because I am not the original owner, the warranty did not apply. The dealer was very nice and sold me a used engine at full price. Hyundai USA declined to help me in any way. No care should have this type of engine failure at this mileage unless completely neglected.

2012 Hyundai Sonata Battery Problems - 2012 Hyundai Sonata
By slpinnv - January 26 - 7:06 pmCar is a good value over all but Ive had several issues with the battery going dead. Hyundai has replaced it twice since I bought it. They do not seem to understand why its constantly going dead perhaps it Henderson Hyundai service not looking to closely. Not sure why myself but it is frustrating to go for the weekend on a trip and come home to a dead battery. On board bluetooth sound is horrible and I quit using it all together Bluelink needs better navigation tools. Doesnt seem to provide accurate addresses even after speaking it several times.
