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.
Dealer stated we need have an electrical harness issue. Both brake lights went out all of a sudden. We brought our car in for a recall the later part of 2013. They said the brake light wouldn't illuminate fully, which was true because the brake light on the driver side wasn't working but it was, it was just dull. Then all of a sudden the light went out and then the passenger brake light went out. We brought it in, and they said the electrical harness is fried. ???? I go online and read complaints from other people with issues with the electrical harness and complaints about the 2011 Sonata's.
I'm very disappointed, because of all the issues with this car. Now I read there are to more recalls. Is anyone having this issue?????
