    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.

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 !

    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 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 😊

    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!

      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 🤷🏻‍♂️

    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!

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.

      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 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.

I've taken it to two different dealerships while it was still under warranty, and while they were able to duplicate the issue, they couldn't reach a resolution. Both dealerships called their tech lines and claimed to have spent hours with them. Between those 2 dealerships, it was worked on for a total of a month.
    Currently I have a Lemon Law complaint in with the Texas DMV, and a hearing date set for October. Hopefully this'll get resolved then.

    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...)

    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.

    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

    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.

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 ?

    • @CarConfections
      @CarConfections  Před 5 měsíci

      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

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.

    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.
