CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2011 Sonata has a seriously defective engine that seizes without warning. It was awarded the dubious honor of being the first CarTalk / CarComplaints Turd of the Week in late September 2015.
A class action lawsuit was filed in May 2015 against Hyundai that claims the 2.4L Sonata engine is defective. More info here.
My heat used to work REALLY good, gave off strong heat even when the heat wasn't on at all... All of a sudden, out of nowhere, the heat stops working. Only works on high now. All winter long, heat blasts in my face, then I turn it off cause it's too hot, and the cycle continues over and over. Haven't gotten a repair estimate yet because I'm worried it will cost a fortune to fix.
