2012 Hyundai Sonata Consumer Reviews

I have had my ‘14 Sonata for 5 years now and have put roughly 100,000 miles on it, and i bought it at 80,000 miles. But this car has not held value at all. She was a great car until all the sudden she wasn’t. my car had burned oil like crazy for the past 60,000 miles, i mean i have to put oil in it weekly. She likes to stall when i try to speed up. The tires like to make a knocking noise when I turn the wheels. A lot of the interior paint is coming off. My dash just randomly cracked one day. I have wiring issues with my headlights and tail lights, had to replace the part my tail lights clip into bc somehow they both melted? I have wiring issues with my doors to where at times some of the doors won’t lock or unlock. My key likes to not turn in the ignition at times. and I have so much more. I will say that i have kept up with the maintenance on this car but it is terrible. I will never own a Hyundai again.

no problem at all with the car i have had 3 hyundais. i would not buy another kind of car, i owned another sonata and i drove it 250000 with no major repairs,

I bought my car over 10yrs ago… I’ve taken care of maintenance and it has been the most reliable car I’ve ever owned to date thus far. I’ve driven it across the country 5 times along with regional driving. Just don’t lock your keys in the trunk bc it’ll be on lockdown like Fort Knox : /

Shopping to find a car for my daughter and came across this 2011 Hyundai Sonata with only 38k miles. It was in my price range and contacting owner was easy.

This car was very dependable for me. Bought one used with 70k miles in Jan 20'. Drove that I felt a decent amount for 4 years, put 50k miles on and had no major issues. Had to replace the battery once, couple tires, regular oil changes. I did have to have the alignment adjusted due to some vibrating but can't say this issue derailed my ownership experience. Worth the money if you don't care to much for what the car looks like. Only moving on since mine was rear ended on the freeway. Would recommend to a friend.

I got this car used back in June 2023. In July 2023 the engine completely seized on me. Hyundai replaced it and I got a new engine in August. 4 months later the engine fails on me again. Nothing but issues and headaches from this car. -100/10

Last time I checked, the value of this used car was 21K. Now, it is less than 5K. What's the reason?

I bought my 2013 Sonata in 2016. I love the turbo, leather seats, and sunroof. It had 65,000 miles when I bought it. It now has 155,000 miles. I’ve taken it in for regular oil changes and safety recalls. The only issue I e had with it is the white paint has started peeling up on my trunk and on other little spots. From what I’ve read, many people with white Sonatas have this problem.
