Alabama guy here, I previously worked in assembly for Hyundai. Quality control is top notch, and extreme care is taken into each step. Hyundai vehicles are extremely reliable, but I suggest steering away from dealerships when you have issues. They will nickel and dime you, it’s better to find a mechanic you trust and stick with them.

I don’t associate with Hyundai anymore after a career change, however, I may return to the company as a risk/safety manager in the near future. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Hyundai.

Something my great uncle did, a mechanic of 45 years, was he would mark the bolts on the parts he suspected were broken before bringing his cars in for warranty repair. If the marker was untouched, he would immediately know nothing was done so he could threaten legal action.

Bought an elantra brand new. Had for 5 years. Never had the slightest issue with it. Its an incredibly well built car for the low price tag

[HansomeNdebonair]

I have to say my experience has been worlds apart from what I'm reading here. I fully believe in Hyundai as I am about to explain,
1st one I bought was a used one in 2007. An Elantra Hatchback can not recall the specific year. Either 2003 or 2004. Anyway, great ride and gas milage was out of this world. That vehicle had window curtain airbags which saved my wife in a 5 car crash. She was hit twice and spun out. hitting a third car which was a pickup truck. The vehicle was gone but I was so impressed because there wasn't a scratch on my wife. Even the first responders were amazed she could walk away. That convinced me to buy a brand new 2008 Hyundai Elantra. I use to drive 80 miles one way to work (minimum 160 miles a day) so I would change the oil and filters, every other month. Always bought the best tires with the highest warranty because we drove so much. Changed brakes yearly. I am a fanatic when it comes to maintenance. Could not afford to get stuck because I had to go to work. I rotated this car with my 2006 Ford Freestyle. Also maintained that just as well. Anyway, I had that Elantra until a driver t-boned it and bent the frame. That was in 2019. My Elantra had 286000 miles. The only major work was 1 spit plug. Fixed very easily with a heli-coil, and 2nd was a new timing belt which I did myself along with changing the water pump and tension pullies inside. Other than that she was my baby! Always reliable. Never left me stranded. I love Hyundai. They got no bad reputation with me.

Every Hyundai I’ve ever owned ran beautifully with no issues whatsoever. We’re they high horsepower and luxurious? No! Were they affordable and got me from point A to point B with basically no maintenance. Hell yeah!

Hyundai also has great manufacturer 100K power train warranty, which you have to hand it to them for that. They stand by the car.

[robbflynn]

I bought a 2017 Elantra SE when it was nearly new, got a fantastic deal, paid $11, 000. My son now owns it. Fantastic car, great gas mileage and looks amazing. Now has over 100, 000, only issue was a failed coil pack, $85 from Auto-zone, a breeze to fit.

[HollywoodJBlaq]

Hyundai's dealers are 99% of the time ALWAYS the problem. I have 4 dealers in a 20 mile radius, but I drive 40 miles outside of town to a Hyundai service dealer that I actually trust.

[MattPSU]

One of the few things that Hyundai is actually good at is making conventional automatic torque converter transmissions. The 6 speed autos are actually reliable. Scotty is right, the Hyundai dealers are not good to work with. They find ANY possible excuse not to perform warranty and recall work.

[GaryInSoCal]

I had a 2015 Elantra Limited with all the toys... put 170, 000 on it with pretty much ZERO problems... great gas mileage... I'd buy another.

[nathanpadilla]

Still driving a 2010 Hyundai all original parts 240000 miles still runs great. The real issue is the paint.

[lorrainehinchliffe]

I’ve had Hyundai for 4 years, never a problem and a super experience all around.

[marvinonstage]

I had a 2001 Hyundai Elantra and put 411, 000 miles on it. Gave it to my aunt to drive back and fourth to work and she put another 15k on it. Changed the timing belt at 300k and it still looked good. Because of my Elantra I had three other people buy a Hyundai and all of them have over 250k on theirs and they still drive them. Only thing that went out pretty often is the H7 headlight bulbs. Only thing I ever did was change the oil regulary. I had a stick and generally stick shift cars just last longer. I also had a 1993 Honda Del Sol that had this solenoid that blew out and the car had no spark and I walked the 45 minute home to call the wrecker to get the Del Sol. No warning, NOTHING and was told that those things can blow out of the blue after 30k. So some of you had a bad experience with Hyundai but mine was great. It was the legendary Honda that had me walking home. So I don't prey at the alter of ANY car company. They all have their good years and bad years and good models and bad.

I've been very pleased with my 2015 Sonata. I only have 115000 miles on it so far but I've experienced zero issues with reliability. I have owned 4 toyota vehichles and still consider them the most reliable but I definitely think Hyandai makes a reliable car - in my opinion.

[jcbo]

My wife has had 5 new Hyundais in our 32 years together, 2 Sonatas, 1 Elantra, 1 Tuscan and 2 Santa Fe's, oh hell that's 6. All great cars, no issues. I mean 6 for 6 is pretty good. If it wasn't for our 4 kids trying to total them, 2 managed it, we wouldn't have had so many.

[mikeflanders]

Nothing like the daily dose of Scotty yelling at us while flailing his arms around for 12 minutes straight. Lol.

[SerpentStar_]

My first car was 94 Hyundai that broke down every other week. Mom has a 2015 Hyundai Accent, tiny engine, great gas mileage. AC went out few times. Overall great car 🚗

[snarlz]

I had a completely different experience with Hyundai. I have a 2014 Genesis coupe, ok it's a manual and I'm just past 100k miles with no troubles whatsoever. My son has a Sonata, automatic 2015...also no big problems, no shifting issues, he has just replaced breaks, changed tires and replaced the battery -- zero major break downs--that said, maybe we're just lucky (or we just maintain the car correctly)

[ty-zayiamcdonald.]

I don't care.all the Hyundai's that I've owned were reliable and I will continue to purchase!!!

[petdackson]

I have a 2015 Sonata and it is now 7 years old and I have NEVER had any problems with my car Thank you!!!
