Sonata

  • 1,000 miles
2012 Hyundai Sonata gls. Mileage not as advertised. Sticker said 25 city and 35 highway. Have tracked mileage from 1000 to 5000 miles and averages 23 mpg including some highway driving. Never drive aggressively. I bought this car thinking I would be getting mileage as advertised. Tried to call Hyundai customer service at 800-633-5151 for a case number and was on hold for 10 minutes before hanging up. Allen Hyundai dealer says nothing they could do and recommended going to another dealer for mileage testing or call Hyundai customer service.
