It states that the Quran is complete, nothing was left out, but @karakoram says Hadiths and Sunnahs are necessary. That suggests that the Quran is incomplete, and that's a contradiction that can only be solved by holding the Quran as most important or the hadiths and Sunnahs as most important.
That verse has been completely taken out of context; its talking about 'signs to affirm monotheism' as is evidenced by the entirety of that Koranic chapter. The entire chapter is talking about 'signs' being sent to all communities to affirm that there is only One God.
Even the previous verse and the succeeding verse is talking about this theme : 37 They also say, ‘Why has no sign been sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say, ‘God certainly has the power to send down a sign,’though most of them do not know: 38 all the creatures that crawl on the earth and those that fly with their wings are communities like yourselves. We have missed nothing out of the Record – – in the end they will be gathered to their Lord. 39 Those who reject Our signs are deaf, dumb, and in total darkness. God leaves whoever He will to stray, and sets whoever He will on a straight path.
Context is King; the verse isn't talking about everything being included in the Koran but that all the signs to affirm monotheism are included in the Koran. And have also been given to communities before you.
