We have a special topic on this site with all you need to know about Hyundai/Kia products:

As far as the TLX you need to look at sites like carcomplaints.com for the specific model year to get an idea of failure trends. For 2015 that would be the following, and it appears that model and year was prone to transmission problems. (You can drill down into each category to see the specifics. The site also documents recalls and TSBs.)

That dealer's primary concern is in the profit they'll make. Your primary concern should be finding a car in good mechanical condition. A car in a good current condition (your mechanic's inspection) having a good maintenance history, that's your best bet.
