Common problems with the 2024 Sonata
NHTSA's file holds 58 owner complaints on the 2024 Hyundai Sonata. Owners named the electrical system most often: 21 complaints. A complaint can name more than one component.

Mileage when owners reported a problem with the 2024 Sonata
Too few complaints on the 2024 Sonata list a mileage to say when owners reported problems: 7 of its 58 complaints list a mileage (60 to 100,000 miles), and a median is given here only with 10 or more.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2024 Sonata wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.
Every model year together: Half of the 10,415 NHTSA owner complaints on the Hyundai Sonata that list mileage came after 70,000 miles (NHTSA complaints file of November 11, 2026). How many miles will a Hyundai Sonata last? →
Is the 2024 Sonata a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2024 is a good or a bad Sonata: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2024 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 58 complaints, the 2024 ranks 27th of the 36 Hyundai Sonata model years from 1989 to 2025 with 10 or more complaints, counting from the most. The most: the 2011 (3,476). The fewest: the 1989 (11).
The 2024 is a recent model year: it has had less time than older years to collect complaints, so its count is still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.
| Model year | Owner complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1989 Sonata | 11 | 0 | Under 10 mileages |
| 1990 Sonata | 16 | 0 | Under 10 mileages |

What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2024 Sonata lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2024 Sonata.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 51 of the 58 complaints on the 2024 Hyundai Sonata give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA names counted: SONATA, SONATA HYBRID and SONATA PLUG-IN HYBRID. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only these.
- Recall-file names matched: SONATA, SONATA HYBRID and SONATA PLUG-IN HYBRID.
