5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
Complaints about the 2024 Sonata cluster most heavily around the automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning system, the electrical system, and the vehicle's structure. On the safety system side, owners frequently report false alerts, the collision warning triggering without an actual obstacle present, along with the system braking unexpectedly. Electrical complaints cover a range of symptoms: the driver-side master window switch intermittently failing to respond, the horn going inoperative without warning, and a reported instance of the dashboard and headlights cutting out briefly while driving at highway speeds. A handful of owners also describe the seatbelt-buckled warning chiming and illuminating even when belts are properly fastened. The HVAC system draws a smaller number of complaints, with owners describing the air conditioning engaging despite being switched off and the airflow mode defaulting back unexpectedly after being set manually.
