Had a 21' Kia K5 Gt-line AWD. Very reliable. Had it for almost 2 years, 38k miles on it. No problems!
Yet. Hopefully you get 150k or so 😄
@@gmanbazhe did say "had." 😂
Thank you for this objective review. Despite all the flashy techs/gimmicks, transmission defect should be a determining factor if you want to keep it long term. Just be cautious of those recalls from engines catching fire risks.
Hyundai/Genesis and Kia still have a long way to go with manufacturing reliable cars. They got the performance, technology, and design right. The only thing left is to improve the engine problems that consumers keep reporting about.
My thoughts exactly ! Don’t keep it boys! Hyundai and Kia have a VERY LONG WAY TO GO,
I would never ever buy a Hyundai Kia product
Get rid of it
This is why I would not get Kia and Hyundai unless they are reliable otherwise I'm not
@@TheMybulls1990notice its just the nature of the dual clutch. Everything else is fine.
I used to work with Hyundai , so if the dealer won’t do anything they need proof of the issue take it to the dealer ask them to keep it start from a cold start. It should do it first thing from cold start don’t take no for an answer . Call Hyundai motor America , get a case number and then . See if they will do anything . If they don’t do another dealer but keep talking to Hyundai Motor America , they are very nice and will advocate on your side !
Great review! I've got this car, 2022, all is well, I agree on the wheels, major pain to clean. That said I'm happy to pay for my own oil changes as I wouldn't trust a dealership would actually even change the oil or filter. . The car is good, comfy, has no business having the power it has, (Thank You Hyundai!!!) and it is a blast to drive. No LSD, no problem, who the hell is gunna track this car? I have over 16k on mine in just over a year with no real problems to speak of. 2 gripes, no vented seats and no wireless Android Auto, but neither is a deal breaker for me. Well done! Cheers!
Very good update video! That jolting would concern me though, but it’s got warranty so I guess maybe not. Everything else seems normal wear & tear! Hope it continues treating y’all well!
Thanks! That's exactly right, we have a ton of warranty left
Awesome video!!! 🎉
Please guys, more videos like that with regards to other automotive brands👍 important and useful info
Thanks, will do!
Thank you for this update, this was one of my favorite cars that I had on my list to possibly own. I may purchase the 2024 Hyundai Sonata N...
Appreciate the long term update! ‘24 N-Line is on my short list. But, if ‘25 Camry has Hybrid MAX I’ll probably go that route if it doesn’t look too bland. Accord and Integra A-Spec are on the list, too, but I want some performance!
I was cracking up with your sewage treatment aromas. Thought you guys were on the verge of watering eyes.
Congratulations 🎊 finally you guys understand what I've been saying to not just influence people to buy Hyundai kia or any brands just based on 1 to 30 days review. Thanks for honesty.
😂😂😂😂😂
I think many brand has a car that is not very good. Coming from personal experience, I’ve had an Elantra and put 30k+ miles on it and it was a solid car, no issues and interior quality was very good, especially with the assembly. Now I have a 23 sportage getting close to 30k miles and is still as good as new. The sonata though, I did drive it when I got the Elantra and I didn’t like it, there was something about it that didn’t convince me
Great long term update on your Hyundai Sonata!!! I hope you guys are doin' well!!
Thank you! We are doing great! Hope you are also doing well!
I know this is largely become a hate hyundai kia thread but sorry to break the streak, im on my second kia and i can’t say enough good things about both! My first was a base 2018 forte, it was an excellent car in 4.5 years i never had a single issue, never went in for service even once. I now have a 2023 forte gt2, and so far i can’t find a thing to complain about. Its fast, looks great, has a ton of features higher than other cars in its class. Team kia! 😁
I have a 2022 Hyundai Sonata N Line, and I've been having the same transmission issues! I haven't noticed the cold start jerking, but I get a lot of jerking while in stop n go traffic. Even worse, one time I lost 80% acceleration on my way to work. No matter how much the car revved, it could not go over 20 mph. Thankfully once I turned off the car, and let it sit for about an hour it was okay. When I brought these issues up to the dealership, they shrugged it off and said there was an ECU update that would fix it. Stated that it would be really hard to recreate the issues so there was nothing they could do about it. When I did my research, I also found out that lots of N-Lines got recalled for transmissions but not mine which is concerning. Glad I am not the only one, and hopefully Hyundai will notice all of the complaints and do something about it!
Very interesting... do you feel like the update helped?
I’ve had the EXACT same problem, same year/model/trim as you. Randomly went for a drive and the car went into limp mode for no reason at all. Turned it back on a few hours later and everything was fine
I have this same issue on my 2020 1.6T Limited , it @ Hyundai as i type this getting a transmission and rear main seal! I had the issue where i would go to accelerate on the free way and it would being banging off redline and wouldn’t accelerate
@@2AMase was it a recall? out of pocket? i’m about to take it to Hyundai in a few days just curious
@@SRTbryan98 I bought mine Used from Non hyundai dealer and purchased an extended warranty cause Hyundai doesn’t allow you to transfer their 10yr/100,000 mile original warranty. So all I have to pay is my Deductible for the claim 👍🏼
It started doing it a few months after I bought the car and I checked for recalls but none came out for my VIN buttt… I work @ a shop that has access to a Diagnostic too and I wanna say over 40+ TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) for the car 😳.
I called my local Hyundai’s and asked if they had any other similar problems with DN8 sonatas that have come in. Of course they all said no and had no clue on how to solve it unless I bring it in , but like you probably know. It’s not 100% chance it going to happen every time you drive the car. So i waited , it would happen & I would be too busy to take it. Then i would get time and it wouldn’t do it @ all!
Until i figured it might be triggered by the first few seconds of driving.
If I get in the car for the first time of the day, Cold OR Warm from key to start , and begin driving within the first .5 miles staying under 2k rpm’s. the car will stay in that mode and not let it shift, hit boost, accelerate. So the other day It happened as I was stuck behind a big rig otw to the freeway. Said F it and took it in.
I asked the Service Manager to let me take a Tech on a drive to show them what happening because it may not happen again when I leave it with them. The tech has never seen anything like it and was shook like I was the first time lol.
Get back to the dealer and they say they’ll run a Diagnostic to see which part isn’t functioning correctly. The Service Manager guessed it was either the Cat or Trans , so he was right on one 🤷🏻♂️
The rear main seal was unexpected for them but ig it’ll be good to get a new one ☝🏼
We have a 2023 SEL Plus, only about 7k miles or so but no issues thus far and have a different transmission and half the miles. In regards to the break dust we aren't having that issue, perhaps it's due to the N line breaks. I usually have that issue with American brands. My only annoyance is that in bright sunlight the reflection off shifter hits right below my sun glasses. Insurance was cheaper than some other mid-size but not as cheap as other, really about in the middle. Mine has the 1.8 turbo which is quite decent and in a round trip of about 1000 miles I averaged just below 40 mpg staying "around" the speed limit. Very nice update, thanks guys!
Brakes
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! You have a totally different transmission so there should be nothing to worry about 👍
Very helpful. Please do a review on the 2024 sonata n line trim
I wonder if that Sonata was made in Alabama or in South Korea and, if it was made in Alabama, then why Hyundai hasn't closed that plant. Here in Puerto Rico the majority of Hyundais and Kias (if not all) are made in Korea and you can still see Hyundais and Kias from the 90s and 00s running and with relatively high mileage.
I don't think it's the transmission as it doesn't shift when in park. It might be because the fuel is cold so it runs rich.
The Sonata is built in Alabama
I have a 2010 with 279000 miles and haven’t had any major issues. My door handles break often, but that’s an easy fix. 😊
@@HOTPLATEGAMING
Some of the later 2022 and all of the 2023 Sonata N-Lines I have seen are built in S Korea. I really wonder if that has changed anything with them....I would like to think it has....🤷🏼
Hi guys. I leased a 2021 Santa Fe Hybrid. It has been so unreliable. It stopped accelerating on I-95 in Milford, Connecticut. It was a month old. The dealership kept it for 18 days for a “software update”. Then a little later we saw the low antifreeze light on the dash. Finally all lights came on. The dealership is not helping. Gave us an attitude and they make us feel it is our fault. NEVER AGAIN! BTW I like the rapport between you too. Cool. No Kias or Hyundais for me. 😢
I've heard a lot of issues with the hybrid. I'd say replace it with a palisade or regular Santa Fe.
@@bradleyscarreviews Never another Hyundai. The dealership experience was horrendous. I had Subarus, Toyotas, BMW, Dodge, and Chryslers( I'm 55, old lol). This is the worst experience by far. I currently also have a 2022 Volvo XC60 B6, and, although not perfect, I would definitely lease it again. Hyundai, never again.
@@boricua4052well, as a technician for a hyundai dealer, you should have never gotten the hybrid. Those are known for sudden loss of acceleration, and many other issues. Currently right now, based on my experience, the new sonatas, the GAS Santa Fe’s, and Palisades are the most reliable. The Palisades is a regular 3.8 V6 which is known for reliability, plus a regular 8-speed transmission. No complicated BS like many new car nowadays.
@@boricua4052 I feel you man. No Korean cars for me either
@@boricua4052I love my 2023 XC60. I had a 2021 also. Service center is solid. Replaced all 4 of my rotors at 9k miles without me asking. I’ll only buy premium products anymore solely for a better dealer experience and service experience. However I did have a 2020 Hyundai Kona and my service experience at Tamiami Hyundai in Naples FL was unproblematic. Although I didn’t have any major issues. My parents recently purchased a Kia telluride. It had some initial quality issues and the dealer service centers are already showing themselves to be woefully inept. I tried to steer them into a Volvo but their friend’s friend had one issue with their car 10 years ago and tainted the water for them. I’m hoping their experience doesn’t end too horribly because they bought the car to keep for the long term.
The jerking situations with the transmission would make anybody nervous. Had the same problem with the Santa Fe as a rental. Drew, back in the day my grandfather used to make that exact same face every time he smelled something bad 😁🤣🤭
It has to do with checking if the transmission is ready to go, and if any issues are present.
😂👃
Just as additional.....I have mine for just shy of 2 years (2023) and no issues ate all yet. No leather wear and the transmission is solid. Over 20k miles.....I have averaged 29.7 MPG overall. I use the adaptive cruise a lot which really helps....around town (to and from work) arount 29....highway 32-35 dpending on how much traffic (when the road is open and you can cruise you can get in the 35 range.....it actually likes higher speeds quite a bit in testing....I get better MPG at say 82 than 75.....I assume the way the gearing lands...)
Fantastic video as always guys, sorry to hear about the transmission, but great on everything else. Also, us having all the seasons in a week, ain’t that the truth lol
Thanks! Yep, the weather like to keep us on our toes 😂
About what I expected from Hyundai, my favorite part was the Toyota water bottle cameo😂😂
Great 2 year review
Most reliable water ever! But is a bit dull...
All they have to do is the software update, and rectify the issue at another dealer. Other than that, no other issues. Notice no tech issues or electrical issues or any major engine issues. Just that minor gripe.
Thanks... didn't realize that water until you pointed it out just now 😂
Love your video
Thank you!
Remember to put your air recirculation button on guys so you don’t smell that nasty smell outside!😁
The problem with hyundai/kia is that they keep making new powertrains. It's great to experience new technologies, but it tends to have a lot of issues. Toyata has developed a few engines for decades, and it rarely has problems with them. 2.5t engine and 8speed dual clutch in that Sonata came out to the market in 2020, so I didn't expect them to be reliable lol
I had a 21 Nline loved it but to many transmission issues and others issues build up after that. I had to sell my car unfortunately but i am looking forward to the 24 refresh hopefully that will be different.
My issues with this one is transmission engine in some electric from a lot of the reviews I've been seeing
Excellent job twin brothers.
Thank you! (We're not twins, just brothers btw)
I have a 21 N-Line in this exact same color. It's got 31k on it and its been great to me so far. No issues. I bought it used though so I guess we will see.
Cant even believe its been 2 years of ownership. I remember yall showed it off on you guy’s first livestream. Thats crazy, but whats even crazier is the issues that came with it. Maybe its hyundais sign to upgrade to a new one 🤨??
Yeah time flies!
I had a 2023 Santa Fe 2.0 turbo ultimate trim (in Canada) and I had the same jolting problem with the Transmission at cold start since it uses the same wet dual clutch. From what I was told by several dealerships, its apparently the transmission checking that everything is in order. I believe it states something along those lines in the owners manual as well and they say it's b/c of the design of the dual clutch...that's maybe why most newer hyundai/Kias went back to the 8 speed auto. Nonetheless hopefully u don't have anymore problems...great video keep up the good work 😊
That was my guess too, if that's what it is, they should write it in the owner manual to re-assure people...
@theadvocate4698 I'm not sure what the US owners manual states but in the Canadian one there's a small general blurb about this but u can assume it's related to the jolting issue 🤦♂️
Thanks, and thanks for sharing your experience 👍 Ours hasn't done that until the last 2 months
Wait and see if the transmission gets better or holds out long enough to get you out of warranty. Mechanical issues (never) fix themselves and Hyundai dealers (always) avoid taking care of issues untill you force them. Good luck with the squeak.
I wonder if it affects other models too like Hyundai n line which has a DCT
Try and reset the TCU...sometimes that works
Thank you for that Hyundai Sonata in line for a couple of months
What about doing the 21 Honda accord 2..0?
I have a 23" Sonata N Line with 17K miles. No issues whatsoever. Also my interior looks brand new still including the seats . odd.
17 .000 miles talk to you at 150.000miles .....thats when Toyota , Honda ,and Mazda shine , and Hyundai / Kia crap out or catch fire .....YIKES!
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! You've passed up in miles in just one year haha
@@patrickgagnon9662I know someone with a 2020 Telluride with 175,000. NO ISSUES.
The numbers over the last 5 years of recalls and bad dealers are in ....they speak for themselves.@@bradleyscarreviews
Great update! Love seeing you guys do it together. I have a 2020 limited with 45k miles, no issues .
How about now?
@@SRT_Tom still no issues
@@BillyReichard nice! How many miles? I have a jeep SRT and want to use this as my second car that’s why I’m wondering about the reliability
@@SRT_Tom It now has 55K miles on it. It's worth noting that this video is on the "N Line" version which is faster (different engine and also a different transmission then the regular Sonata cars). I don't have the N line but the Limited version instead. Been very happy since I've had no issues.
My goodness there are a lot of doom sayers and “my goodness what if this or that happens” in here!
Condemning a product because of poor StealerShip interaction is not fair on the product, it’s up to the dealer to do the right thing, if they won’t budge then go the level up and use whatever rights you have as consumers in your region.
We are lucky here in Au, our consumer laws keep companies and their outlets fairly honest.
As for reliability issues for Hyundai vehicles, I guess you could always use the old rule of “In a barrel of apples you generally always find one bad one”
As a family we have collectively owned more than 15 Hyundais of various models and have not had one major issue, yes a few minor niggles to do with squeaks and rattles but other than normal wear they have all been affordable and reliable.
I noticed that jerk too when putting my car in park. I have a 2014 Hyundai veloster
So glad i watch this video first. I almost going to buy a 2018 hyundai sonata
That's not even the same generation as this
hay mason can you guys try to get a 2025 xse awd and due a long term comparison to this one and or the all new nline sonata
I was definitely looking forward to this review as I’ve been leasing the same model since last November w/~17,000 miles so far.
1. “The Shake” is interesting, as I noticed it early on cold starts but mine is consistent with only one jolt every single start, I let it warm up in the garage, and it’s fine driving after that. I assume it’s some type of tension release, especially since I am prone to driving it harder than the average person.
2. C&D had a 40k mile long-term tester and mentioned the exorbitant amount of brake dust on their tester; I just keep a cloth handy and wipe them down periodically between washes since it’s consistently prone to heavy dust.
3. The maintenance service intervals are great; however, I am disappointed that I paid to replace the front brakes and rotors at 12,500 miles. The advisor tried to get Hyundai to pay for them but they declined; I ride/race motorcycles as well as cars and refuse to “ride down” brakes yet they were worn down beyond potentially resurfacing, so I’m now keeping a close watch on them.
4. My fuel economy is incredulously abysmal (typically ~19MPG but been below 10 many times 🤦🏾♂️), but I expect it having come from driving a G35S to this, and know my foot is heavy. 😂 My road-trip MPG is always good though.
5. 13:28 i tried setting the vents in the system to close but that feature doesn’t seem to work and the vents open consistently when I don’t want them especially in the summer allowing hot air into the cabin - I just figured a hack to close all the vent slots to keep smells/hot air from blowing into the cabin at least.
Incredible review - surely appreciate seeing this one! 🫡
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience with the N-Line! It's very interesting getting long-term perspectives from several owners
What its your hack to close all the vents??
Thank you, I’m a huge jdm fan. Though I’m strongly considering a Hyundai, especially the cost and the value you get.
Don’t do it ! Get a Toyota or Lexus
@@gabrielrogers2971 Lexus transmission blow out around 3k-5k miles and it's a 2023 RX and current NX. So no toyota.
@@gabrielrogers2971 How long are you toyota clowns are going to troll with your fire pit cars?
@@maga6319 these people act like if you dont buy a honda or toyota the car will explode after 1k miles. most cars will be reliable if you keep up with maintenance
I have a 2021 n line no major issues. The car does jolt when i start it but i think if you don't use the e brake it goes away so far i only use the e brake when needed to stop the jolting.
Hey guys! Great video. These newer sonatas are holding up much better than older ones, we havent hsd any come in for MAJOR issues other than a few hybrids. The transmission jolting that you are feeling is it checking if there are any issues with it, and everything is in order.
Does it say it on the manual that it's checking by jolting the entire car back and forth? I have the 2024 Hyundai Sonata N-line and I just realized today that mine does this as well. I'm very concerned since I only picked up the car literally a week ago.
@@jackverdezola6150 yes. It is in the owners manual.
Honestly the N line has the dual clutch transmission and for most, if not all companies, ive never heard good stories from these transmissions. From luxury companies such as mercedes, audi etc, to companies like Ford. Ive never heard big issues with the regular transmissions on the Hyundai's or Kia's. Just the DCT atleast from what ive looked upon.
I have a 2022 Hyundai sonata hybrid and the hybrid battery got fried in July and still waiting for a new battery from South Korea (under warranty)
Sorry to hear that. Thanks for sharing
I work for an auto glass replacement shop here in Canada. A customer brought in their 2020 Hyundai Tucson for a windshield chip repair last. It had 100,000 kms on the clock and all the vehicle did was shake and rattle as the engine ran when we brought into the garage and out of the garage. There was also a slight squealing sound coming from under the hood. It did not sound good. My coworkers and I thought there was something wrong with the engine.
Initial quality and value maybe good, but long term reliability needs to be more important.
I drove a 2018 Tucson for 5 years... had ZERO issues whatsoever with it... if you work with cars, you should know 99% of the long term reliability isn't who built the car, it's WHO OWNS THE CAR!!!!
Maybe the guy who brought it into the shop thought you should do an oil change once every 100,000 miles whether it needs it or not... there are people like that out there, and your "i saw this one car that rattled" is hardly a scientific study of Hyundai Tucsons. Your anecdotal experience is hardly something to go "well, I thought Hyundai's were good until heard that one story from a glass repair guy!".
Come to think about it... I've pretty much lived through every stupid internet meme...
1) I've owned a Hyundai and had no problems
2) My Hyundai had a dual-clutch, never had an issue
3) My Hyundai had a turbo engine... gee, and it was reliable
4) My Hyundai has never been stolen
5) My Hyundai has never spontaneously burst into flames.
Just goes to show stupid internet meme's are just that... stupid. If you take care of your car, it will take care of you.
I did, however get rid of my 2018 Tucson after 5 years... since I loved it so much, I replaced it with a 2023 Tucson Hybrid... had that about a year now, no issues either.
@@wolfshanze5980 my wife owned a Hyundai accent. She was meticulous with maintenance on it. At 100,000 kms it started giving her more and more problems so she decided it wasn’t worth it to keep maintaining it. She now has a Honda Fit with 200,000 kms and that thing is still going like it was new. It has been across Canada and we would have no doubts about taking it across again.
@kevinW826 there's a very well documented problem with the old Theta engines of Hyundai's from the 2010 to 2014ish era.
If a 100,000 mile car was one of those, there you go.
If you think a known problem from a decade ago is still a thing today, sad to say, problem was fixed long ago.
Times change you know.
Check Consumer Reports on Hyundai's reliability on CURRENT vehicles, not those from a decade ago.
@@wolfshanze5980 it is as Hyundai is still having issues with their transmissions in the new ones as well.
@kevinW826 blanket statements just show the stupidity of the person making them.
Adolph Hitler is a dead person, but not all dead persons are Adolph Hitler.
Care to change your statement from "Hyundai Transmissions" to "One specific Hyundai Transmission". (Dual Clutch... a Transmission EVERY company has a problem getting right... not all Hyundais have a dual Clutch, in fact, few do. All other Hyundai Transmissions are just fine, in fact a lot of them, like Hyundais CVT are preferred over other companies).
It's people like you that throw away an entire barrel of gold because a dog took a whiz on the side of the barrel. Your one anecdotal story or dumb interpretation of "one Transmission = ALL Transmissions doesn't hold up against the facts.
Consumer Reports, JD Power, Car and Driver and countless car reviews all heap praise on the safety and reliability of the vast majority of Hyundai vehicles. One fart in the wind from you doesn't mean Hyundai is bad, you're a minority amateur in a field of majority experts who say otherwise.
I had my Sonata for 6 months and it's already in the shop for transmission issues
I had a 2022 Sonata N line. Had the same issue with my transmission. Then it just died. The dealership took forever to replace. I traded it in right after they replaced the failed transmission. Don't trust it. They know all about their transmission issues, just don't want to replace it until it fails. Good luck.
My 22 Elantra N was doing the dealer replaced the transmission.
The korean cars is the case when the opinion of designers prevails over engineering thoughts. They all looks great, but so weak in terms of reliability😅
I average about 20 mpg. But on the highway it does get great mileage.
I’m sitting at 14550 miles I have the same problem with my 2022 N line Sonata on the cold start 🫠
Insurance is $900 a month or thats just the 6 months 🤔
See you traded this Sonata for the 24 Sante Fe with DCT issue. Did you do this because the Dealer was unable to fix the DCT in the Sonata? This is quite a concern as I was considering a new Sonata N Line? I have a deposit on a 24 Sonata AWD instead but I wanted the N line extra features.What should I do? Deposit is fully transferrable & refundable so no risk but don't want a better equipped Lemon ! Maybe just keep my 30000 mile 2016 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 AWD Sedan with 32000 miles .It's been great for 6 years but know not under warranty. Hyundai just issued a recall on my car so I have to park it outside? All these scenarios are ridiculous for Hyundai. After 12 years with Hyundai/Kia is it time for me to buy elsewhere ?
While we were initially a bit concerned about this Sonata's DCT jerk, it never got any worse and would come and go. We traded for the Santa Fe to get something fresher on the channel not out of concern. Should you be concerned now based on our Santa Fe's much worse transmission issues? That's going to be up to you. N-Line is much more fun to drive but has a more mechanically complex powertrain as the trade-off. Hope this helps
Have a 2020 sonat sel. Nothing but issues. First stalled out at 2k miles. Transmission is jerky and hard to pick a gear. Front windows don’t go up auto, engine rattles, Hyundai and Kia copy everything but reliability.
What copy? There's no copy from Hyundai and KIA.
It's a 2020…never buy the first year.
We had boat loads of 2020 sonatas come in for issues. However, after 2021 model year, no issues other than once in a while..an n line that needs a software update for the transmission.
Look on the brightside, at least it didn't burst into flames.

I'm almost certain they didn't do anything. The dealership we purchased the car from is exponentially more professional so we will go there next time
There was also a major recall due to failing transmission oil pump.
I wonder why we never see Mason driving, always been curious of that
Hyundai /Kia have one of the worst recall record in the industry.
Toyota took that spot. So that explains everything when it comes to reliability.
Toyota still has recalls also. Nowadays, Hyundai and Kia don't have major recalls.
Hyundai /Kia never fixed the old generation , they just made all new cars and SUV's....let some time pass on the new ones we'll talk.

Life hack: Know where all the sewage plants or smelly places are in your town. If you have passengers, and need to fart - then drive towards one of them - - - and silently let go. Blame it on the location. Works every time.
I was laughing while you were driving by the sewer plant. Don't you guys have a button to recycle the inside air in your Hyundai, instead of being forced to have the outside air coming in?
It was already too late once we noticed 😂
I like the Hyundai Sonata, but I hope they can fix the transmission issue!
What are some good first cars for teens ?
Toyota Corolla ,Toyota Camry, Honda Civic
@@christianmbabazi9722 don't forget the accord even though the new one is controversial
@@normanli7085 Yes that's one I forgot that's also a good one
Hyundai sonata or Kia K5.
@@bradleyscarreviews If they don't have any recall issues yes
Should’ve got a Mazda. 🤷🏼♂️
That’s why people are foolish enough to believe that they have 100k mile warranty it’s so good. It’s because of bad engines and transmissions
Take the video to the dealer and let them see it for themselves!!!!
"2 year long term test vehicle" ...is that another way to say that you leased it?
and why would that be important
@@yerinahregi4827 I never said it was important, as in a life or death question. I found the wording curious as it seems strange to me to refer to a lease in this manner. Guess I'll go take my 4 year long term test vehicle for a drive now.
We own it, yes. But since we're a car review channel, we are also testing how it holds up over a longer period than the normal 7 days
@@CarConfections fair enough. I did think it unlikely that Hyundai would loan out a test vehicle for such a long period, but hey maybe they'll surprise us someday 🤷🏽♂️
The new hyundais have DCT problems. That might be how the DCT was made
I have Sonata N line 11k miles on it. Today I was driving it on highway and all of sudden like my engine lost power, I press gas paddle all the way and car is barely moving like turbo is not working, also when I slowed down I think it was just sitting in 8 speed, I tried changing gears with paddle shifters, but could not, I kept pressing them nothing happened. When I stopped on red light and kept driving suddenly car started working normal. Do you guys think this could be a transmission issue? I scheduled service appointment with Hyundai dealership!
Sounds like it definitely could be. Definitely get that checked out by a dealership because it sounds serious!
I’m taking it to dealership on Tuesday, this happened like 4-5 times in a month, it’s definitely transmission issue.
Traditional transmission is the best. Both Cvt & Dct proved unreliable.
The shaking in park is just the eagerness of the engine to get up and going. It's a plus, not a minus. Honda and Toyota owners only wish they had something like this
This makes no sense.
You have tested enough cars to know that Hyundai has too many quality issues.
Why purchase a car like this?
To review? To show and teach people with evidence?
Too many? Only one issue…
We've owned 2 Hyundai's (and our Mom has one as well) and this is the first issue of concern that's came up...
Shout out to Hyundai dealers for not marking their cars up +5-10k ❤
Sell this junk before it becomes a catastrophic failure in your face😂
Toyota is more junk than this beauty.
@@maga6319 the video title and the content of this video tell otherwise😂😂😂😂
@@ibrahimbashir6634 someone in a Camry group I am in on facebook, their transmission just went out. And Toyota calling 1.2 millions rav4 that they think it will catch fire. You think Toyota still reliable? Look at the tundra and sequoia they all having problems. This is not 1990
@@ibrahimbashir6634just the jolting…that’s the nature of this dct…and it’s checking to make sure everything is in shape…it is in the owners manual, stop being a troll.
@@bradleyscarreviews this thing will be a catastrophic failure
Why do people take your money and laugh in your face?
First
Has it started to burn oil yet? Lol too soon
classic Hyundai dealership pretending there isn't a problem so that they do not have to honor their warranty in their junk cars.
Hyundai and Kia are trash. I will even buy a Nissan over those.
Imnsurprised hyundai kia are even in business with their trash cars and 10 year warranty
You know the Camry has recalls right, for fuel pump and battery?
And 1.2 Million rav4s recalled for catching fire. I don't even want to talk about the tundra and the wastegate turbo issues.
@@bradleyscarreviews Good thing there’s more models to choose from that have barely any problems. Also trying to compare fuel pump and battery failure to transmission failure and catastrophic engine failure which cost x10 the amount to replace is funny. Not to mention there’s not a single Kia or Hyundai vehicle with solid proven reliability. It’s always heavily mixed or just straight up bad. Your not dumb if you buy one, your dumb if you keep one past warranty
@@BIync kept several past warranty. No issues.
@@bradleyscarreviews Theres people with horror stories with the most reliable car and people who’ve never had a issue with the least reliable car. It’s just on avg a Toyota/Lexus or Honda is gonna be way more reliable than a Kia/Hyundai. Obviously depends on model as well the worst Toyota model is way less reliable than the best Kia model. I’m also curious what models u had and if you drove them hard. At the end of the day it all comes down to probability. Less likely to have a problem buying a good Toyota model than a good Kia model
I replaced the transmission on my Volvo 05 XC70 at 249k miles and I'm 252k now and she is still purring like a happy cat. Here in Lancaster PA, I can't begin to tell how many pieces of chit early model Hyundai's I pass broke down with a yellow cloths sticking out the window on PA shoulder highways. Gonna keep enjoying my 05 Volvo until the wheels fall off. FYI who would switch from driving a Volvo to drive a Hyundai or Kia. That's a hard ass pass.
11:35 I miss those snaps! 🤌😉
My goodness there are a lot of doom sayers and “my goodness what if this or that happens” in here!
Condemning a product because of poor StealerShip interaction is not fair on the product, it’s up to the dealer to do the right thing, if they won’t budge then go the level up and use whatever rights you have as consumers in your region.
We are lucky here in Au, our consumer laws keep companies and their outlets fairly honest.
As for reliability issues for Hyundai vehicles, I guess you could always use the old rule of “In a barrel of apples you generally always find one bad one”
As a family we have collectively owned more than 15 Hyundais of various models and have not had one major issue, yes a few minor niggles to do with squeaks and rattles but other than normal wear they have all been affordable and reliable.
