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.
Yet another let down of this car that was supposed to be "all new" ! Everyone that manufactured cars for Hyundai in the 2011 year must have smoked crack all day instead of working. What a horrible year ! And, of course owners are the ones who pay the price.
The finish is coming off all 4 wheels of my 2011 Sonata 2.0t. I went to the Dealer and he said they would not be covered under warranty. Another let down......other than that it's been great car.
OVER THE PAST 45 DAYS ALL 4 WHEELS LOOK LIKE CRAP, FINISH IS COMING OFF. MAG WHEELS SUPPOSE TO BE ANYWAY..21.902. BAD STARTER SWITCH, 6 MONTHS AGO HAD TO BE TOWED AT 17,000 MILES. AT 4000 MILES HOLE APPEARED IN THE SIDE OF DRIVER SEAT, AGAIN AT 16,900 MILES COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AGAIN AT 21,000, WOULD COVER UNDER WARRANTY. FINISH IS PEELING OFF OF STEERING WHEEL BELOW WHERE YOU HOLD ON FOR STEERING 24,500. LIKE THE RIDE AND DRIVE OF THE CAR BUT WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HYUNDAI.
A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
All rims peeling, looks like crap and Hyundai not covering issue. It's an obvious defect. Never again buying this sh#@$ box of a car.
