problem #2

Sonata 2.8L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 79,738 miles

Bought car used and it only had 20k miles. At around 40k we noticed oil light on. Odd because we have oil changed on the money and no signs of oil loss or burning. My husband checked it and it was almost empty. Now he checks it 3x week. Where is all the oil going? A few weeks ago the car started acting funny. He checked the spark plugs (he had just changed month prior) and they were all gooped up. Anyway I have noticed for a while the car sounds louder when running. I thought it was my imagination but guess not. My husband Robbie has been wanting to get rid of it but can't afford it right now.

Sonata SEL+ 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,200 miles

Crappiest car I have owned - this is my first and last Hyundai. The brand new car engine makes noise like a tractor. I read all the reviews and seems like all those people reviewing cars (the "experts") have no clue what they are talking about. The cabin is noisy, the engine is noisy - only the electronics and other creature comforts are good. I only have 1500 miles on it and want to get rid of it. I will take it to the dealer and see if they are able to fix the noise - my $20k mistake.
