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.
steering wheel clicks/rattleswhile steering & over bumps
The rattling of the steering wheel is annoying as well as, going over bumps. Other people hear this & I am embarrassed. My mechanic isn't sure what's wrong so I know I need to go to dealership. Worried it will cost me a lot to fix but I am concerned about driving it much longer w/o getting it fixed. Just wanted to see if others had the same problem.
