Common problems and easy repairs on a 2017 Sonata

The 2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport 2.0T is an easy car to maintain. The non-LED tail lights are easy to access behind various pieces of trunk lining, allowing for reliable bulb changes. The spare tire and jack kit are quick to find in the trunk and easy to remove and set up while servicing a flat. Changing many of the headlights shouldn’t be a problem as the parking light and turn signals can be accessed by simply reaching behind their bulb housings.

However, the 2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport 2.0T does have its downsides. The headlight itself may prove problematic to change, given its hazardous nature as a Xenon bulb. A large panel from underneath the vehicle will need to be removed to access the petcock, which won’t allow for reliable access. Another large panel underneath the vehicle needs to be removed to access the oil drain plug and oil filter, which is cumbersome.
