| Description of the problem | I recently bought a hyundai sonata se 2. 0t on oct 26 2012, ever since i bought it, i've realized that the mpg that it gives me is 17 no matter if i'm in city or highway, while minimal estimates are 23 in the city. I've looked on hyundai forums and it seems like i'm not the only one with this issue. Contact with the dealers has been nothing but a pain, they continue to argue with me that, that is impossible and won't even take a look at the vehicle. I've been to two separate dealers with the same outcome. |
