I purchased a new 2011 Hyundai Hybrid Sonata at Superior Hyundai. After only one day, my wife and I noticed that it had bad hesitation problems from a stop to go or when starting into an intersection, it would hesitate and shudder. We took it to the dealer Maintenance and was told that there was nothing wrong. After complaining to the Company, they sent a supervisor from the Houston office and after driving our new Hybrid, was told that this was the way the car drove. We considered this a Safety issue for San Antonio Driving. They would not take the car back and I ended trading it back to World car, losing almost $5K on the trade-in with only 575 miles on the car. Finding out the new Sonata does the same thing. What a rip-off from Hyundai and Superior. Will not buy another Hyundai and urge Buyers beware. Do your reviews on the Sonata Hybrids and 2OT's. Poor performance and poor gas mileage. Do not believe the window sticker!!!
