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.
And another broken component on a terribly built crappy car. Button for power window broke and it goes into auto roll down. I paid this car off in December of 2016 with roughly 70-75k miles on it. I thought I would be able to be payment free for 4-5 years due to low mileage driving. What a mistake buying this hunk of junk. I will never own another Hyundai again. It's the worst vehicle ever.
