2024 Hyundai Sonata

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 Sonata.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2024 Hyundai Sonata pairs an S8 automatic transmission with EPA ratings of 25 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined, positioning it as a contemporary entry in the nameplate’s long-running lineage. With only 42 owner complaints logged—primarily targeting the electrical system—and a single recall on record, this model year lands near the lower end of the complaint spectrum when measured against the line’s historical range spanning 1990 to 2026. That volume stands in sharp contrast to the 2011 high-water mark of 3,368 complaints and aligns the vehicle far closer to the series minimum of 2 recorded for 2026, suggesting a relatively subdued cycle in the Sonata’s documented reliability history.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 100,000 mi; coolant every 24,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 24,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2024 Sonata sits at the mature tail end of the current generation, and the federal data shows a consistent year-over-year decline in complaints, recalls, and technical service bulletins since the generation's 2020 launch. Complaints fell from 83 in 2023 to 42 in 2024, recalls dropped from two to one, TSBs continued their steady descent from 50 to 30, and there were zero open federal investigations — the fourth consecutive year with none. By comparison, earlier Sonata generations saw dramatic complaint spikes (notably 3,368 complaints and 14 recalls in 2011, and 1,047 complaints in 2006), making the current generation's trajectory notably calmer. The 2024 model's top complaint areas are modest in volume — Electrical System (7), Unknown/Other (6), Structure (4), and Exterior Lighting (2) — with only one crash-related complaint and zero fire complaints on record. The data does not specify root causes for any of these areas, but the low absolute numbers and declining TSB count suggest Hyundai has progressively resolved earlier-generation issues through running production changes. **Bottom line: the 2024 Sonata represents one of the statistically safest model years in the Sonata's recent history to purchase used, with minimal federal complaint activity and no open investigations.**
