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 totally shuts off (no steering, no radio, nothing) for a second. Then turns back on without me doing anything. It's scary to be driving and lose complete power. It is potentially very dangerous.

When I contacted the dealership they said no recalls, but I'm reading different.
