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.
This car is a piece of crap. I have had problem after problem after problem. Everything mentioned on this website my car has had happen. Bulbs, not the issue, electrical, language only in french doesn't change back, had a small electrical fire in the area of the glove box just on Friday 4/20/18. Pulled over to get out of the car and was hoping it would burn to the ground. Maybe then Hyundai will wake up and actually take ownership of their manufacturing flaws.
Took vehicle in for recall service for a problem with transmission switch, vehicle now has problem within starting without pressing brake pedal. Not a comfort especially when vehicle warranty and payoff are close.
