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.
The car is at the Dealership as I type. This car spends more time at the repair shop. When I first bought this car, kid you not, the passenger side seat wasn't even bolted down. Realized it when I had to hit the brakes hard. Good thing I wasn't involved in an accident. I don't think I will be buying another Hyundai in my life time!!
