We had a recall on our Sonata. It was for the engine. They increased the warranty to 120,000 miles.

Got a Villages Car Wash when we returned from Jersey and a big chunk of paint on the roof came off. A common problem on Hyundai's.

Just got another recall about something with the trunk latch.

Other than these PITA items this little piece of junk runs like a champ. They were offering a leather interior for $1000. Naturally, I took it. Very comfortable car to drive. We got 43 MPG on the way back home. I usually don't care but that really amazed me.

Still, if I had to recommend a vehicle to the OP I would have to recommend a FORD product. We've had many F-150's, two Flex's, one Escape, and a Transit Connect Van. Never a big problem with any of them and we put some heavy mileage on them.

I'm switching to the electric pickup from Tesla because I like it. I just hope I don't regret it as I do with the Hyundai.

Best of luck to the OP. Tough time to be buying a new vehicle.
