Some Hyundai Sonata owners report experiencing issues such as engine failure, excessive oil consumption, and stalling as their vehicles age. While the Sonata is generally regarded as a reliable vehicle, these problems can arise, particularly with components like the engine, transmission, and electrical system. Additionally, some owners have noted difficulties with the infotainment system. As the Sonata accumulates mileage—typically between 200,000 to 240,000 miles—there is an increased likelihood of encountering unscheduled repairs, and the possibility of mechanical problems after reaching 280,000 miles cannot be dismissed based on historical data and reported issues.
