I bought a 2011 Hyundai Sonata
Hybrid from Victoria Hyundai, in Aug 2011 since then
this vehicle has been in the shop @ least 17 occasions for software
updates, recall campaigns and replacing parts (4 NVLD valves) Fuel economy tests and a
final 2 tank test which ended Monday Feb 13th 2012 and was connected to
the computer to send
Hyundai Canada, since I have had this so-called Hybrid I have avg
between 500-525km per tank, which if you by your commercial of 1412km on
a tank (test route) is less than half what is stated, when i bought this
vehicle I even added 15% to the stated mileage and it has never been
near that mileage of 1040.
The service Dept at Victoria Hyundai has been great but this has to
be remedied, this vehicle has not performed and I would like either a
new one or something else, I have bought 5 vehicles off Victoria Hyundai
in the past 6 years. Since then my mileage has gone up to 630 km per tank, I have
spoken with many people who have the Sonata 2.0 and Sonata and they have gotten 700km/tank in city and 1000km/ highway right out the door from Victoria Hyundai. To state that there is nothing mechanical or electrical wrong with this "Hybrid" is ridiculous. I have recommended friends to Hyundai (never got a payout), I will not do that again, as since the Feb 2 tank test I have not heard anything from them asking if the problems still exist
