About Hyundai Sonata Safety Data
All data on this page comes from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Complaints are filed by Hyundai Sonata owners directly with NHTSA. Recalls are issued when a safety-related defect is identified.
Higher complaint volumes do not necessarily mean a model is unsafe — popular, high-volume models naturally accumulate more reports over time. The best use of this data is to compare year-to-year trends and identify specific recurring issues.
