Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The Sonata Hybrid has a major flaw and it's the gas mileage. I was told I would get at least 45 mpg with sensible driving and that was a lie. On cold damp morning and after a cold fog there would be condensation all over the front and back windshields to the point where water droplets would run onto the dashboards and back seats. Also the car has a safety issue with the low beam head lights at night especially in the country. At 50 MPH you out run your head lights and can't see far enough ahead of you to stop in time if something runs across in front of you.”

NHTSA complaint #10692731, filed 2015-03, 18,455 miles

“The biggest problem is the blind spot it is becoming extremely difficult to drive and change lanes as the blind spot is not at all visible even if you change the seating position. I wish they change the blind spot mirrors.”

NHTSA complaint #10652520, filed 2014-11, 12,677 miles
