The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Hyundai built the 2023 Sonata in naturally aspirated, turbocharged and full hybrid form, and this factory service and repair manual is tied to the exact year, engine and trim you are working on, so the figures you work to are the ones Hyundai published for that build rather than a value carried over from a neighboring model year.

Engines covered

  • 2.0L inline-four full hybrid — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.5L inline-four — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline
  • 2.5L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 1.6L inline-four (98 cu in) — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • Hybrid Blue
  • Hybrid Limited
  • Hybrid SEL
  • Hybrid Ultimate
  • Limited
  • N Line
  • Preferred

  • SEL Plus
  • Sport

Known issues on the 2023 Sonata. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first falls under power train, automatic transmission fluid pump, and concerns the Idle Stop & Go oil pump assembly: an electric oil pump assembly that overheats increases the risk of a vehicle fire. The second falls under the gasoline fuel system, where a damaged check valve can allow air to enter the fuel tank, causing it to expand and contact hot exhaust components; a melted fuel tank can leak, increasing the risk of a fire. Owners have filed 135 complaints against the 2023 Sonata, and Hyundai has issued 49 technical service bulletins for it.

Whether you are chasing a fuel-delivery fault, working on the Idle Stop & Go oil pump, or servicing the hybrid driveline, it keeps you on Hyundai’s own procedure and the figure that matches your 2023 Sonata trim.

On a highway cruising at 70mph with the ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control ) on and following distance set at max a car from another lane turned into my lane and then continued to an off ramp. My car initially braked and then downshifted from 8th to maybe 4th and accelerated hard - scaring me and my passengers. I did add to the actions of the car by pressing the following distance button on the steering wheel a few times. I had owned a 2016 Sonata with ACC and drove over 100K miles with ACC operating.

Unfortunately I couldn't find a leak anywhere and there was no fluid leaking in my garage. I lost an entire reservoir of coolant overnight.

This raised the RPM, but it dropped quickly and stalled the engine again. Made a couple more attempts after and eventually, the engine light came on. Shortly before this incident, I had about 10-15% of gas left in my tank. After this happened, bluelink reported that I had 1% left. Got the vehicle towed to the d

I am reporting a serious coolant system defect on my 2023 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid with about 13,500 miles. The vehicle develops an internal coolant leak while driving. Coolant burns off and white steam/smoke comes out of the exhaust, especially during acceleration. When this happens, the coolant level drops quickly, the interior heater stops working, and the car soon displays an engine overheating warning, forcing me to stop driving. This has happened multiple times and makes the vehicle unsafe.
