Am glad to be here.
I use a sonata Hyundai 2008. NF. Limited. 2.4.
Being using it for a little above 2 years now.
I have being using Total Quartz 5000. 20W-50. I hope it's ok. If not which one?

The car has being serving.
I wanted to change the back coil spring. The inability of the 19 bolts to put out easily, I had to change the sprinkle, back chamber and fix broken nuts in the process of removing. I wonder why the nuts and bolts became so hard that the panel had to put fire on them.

Hello Hyundai users,

Please can anyone give me a review of Hyundai Elantra 2013 as I am the process of getting one.
Is it a good buy?
Is it a good car for a lady?
I am based in Abuja, are the parts readily available?
Is there a good mechanic in Abuja for Hyundai cars?
I am buying it as second hand Nigerian used.
Please let me know your honest opinion on this car.

I just bought a 2007 Hyundai Sonata V6 3.3 and the AC is not working, can someone recommend a good AC technician for help
Re: Hyundai owners Discussion by 2kurupt(m): 6:29pm On Mar 21, 2022
My Hyundai Elantra 2008 has poor engine performance whenever I put on the AC, as in it takes a lot of effort to accelerate and can even trip off the engine in slow traffic.

Once I switch off the AC everything returns to normal. Please what could be the cause?

It is American spec. I can't tell if it is auto or manual compressor, I'll have to ask the technician.

The rpm pin fluctuates especially on traffic, like the engine is stuttering

I believe it's a good one. For oil make a choice and remain with it. Without paying the fake oil.

That car is a lemon. Unless you have a deep pocket.
The sonata is a car that will break your heart no matter how much love and care you give. The American spec engine 2.4L and 2.0T are notorious for premature engine failure.
Weak and crappy suspension. Steering rack etc
The car looks beautiful, classy and cheaper amongst its class.
Good Luck.

This statement of yours is not just ambiguous & generalised but show sheer ignorance. Can the entire Sonata line be lemon as you say and still sell millions of units in the US alone over the years?

If you have owned or know someone who was unfortunate to get a lemon, too bad but that's the gamble with buying cars irrespective of brand or model.

Unfortunately, he’s right. Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Optima etc with the theta 2.0t and the theta 2.4gdi are lemons. A lot failed within and after warranty due to manufacturing process errors. Millions of these vehicles with these engines were recalled.

Have you used an American Spec 2011-2013 Sonata yourself?
