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.
Nearly every month I replace the headlight bulbs as they repeatedly burn out. This time, I discovered the bulb holder was burned and melted. Clearly, this is an unsatisfactory condition. Apparently, it is also a common issue for many customers. There should be a recall! This is both unsafe for the driver whose car many catch fire but also dangerous for other drivers as these headlights randomly burnout. Hyundai and the NHTSA need to get off their asses and get the issue recalled and fixed!
