Sonata Limited 2.4L

Had 2011 Hyundai Sonata engine be replaced under warranty after complaints for the engines. Two weeks later the engine over heat light came on. Call Hyundai roadside and they say it isn’t covered for road assistance. This is a joke I hope but it’s not. They played a fast way me on NHTSA.org on real repairs. I have bought my last of either!

Sonata GLS 2.4L V6

  • Manual transmission
  • 89,477 miles

Out of the blue my car overheated while in neutral and I was chatting outside the car. 15 mins goes by and my rad fan wasn't working. I turned the A/C trying to force the fan on and it didn't work. A new resistor fixed the problem for a week before my A/C went out and my car overheated again which I will submit a new complaint for as it was a different fix.

Sonata GLS 2.4L V6

  • Manual transmission
  • 144,000 miles

So after my car overheated the first time, the resistor being replaced seem to fix it. That lasted a week until my A/C stopped working. I only drove it twice as my daughter was far too hot in stop and go traffic at 7 months old to be with no A/C. Only the 2nd drive, my car overheats AGAIN! So now it's not driveable. My third party warranty company somehow gets it covered, but the parts would have been $660CAD before labour to have the entire electrical system on my cooling assy replaced.

This car is nothing but problems!!
