I would generally agree Hyundai's have great quality - except for the 470,000 2011 and 2012 Sonata's that were recalled for engine failure - to replace the engine. According to Consumer Reports
These same engines, built at the same manufacturing plant, were also used in Hyundai Santa Fe SUVs, Kia Optima sedans, and Kia Sorento SUVs assembled in West Point, Georgia. According to Kia spokesperson Jame Hope, Kia is not impacted by this recall.
We have a 2011 Sonata and brought it in to be tested. It was not affected, but if it had been, they would have replaced the entire engine for chips of metal that hadn't been cleaned out properly during the manufacturing process.
