How this compares
91 complaints is 2.6 times fewer than the median 2022 model on this site and 1.8 times fewer than the median 2022 sedan. Among the 11 Sonata model years here it ranks 9th for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
Complaints filed by year
22 complaints came in 2026. Owners file in waves when a problem gets press or an investigation, so a spike measures attention as much as failures.
