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.
There is a recall on the engine, the check engine light is on but the dealership claims its not engine related, it's the turbo. I have spoken to several people with the same issue, the warranty doesn't cover it and I looked on line, the 2012 Sonata had a turbo related issue in 2011 that was a hose issue. I need to know if anyone else has this issue and how it was resolved. The car is not able to be driven

Very disappointed in this vehicle. Bought it from my daughter who was going overseas. Will never buy another Hyundai.
