The 2.4 L Sonatas were equipped with the infamous Theta II engines. (You know, the ones that Scotty says "blow up.") Scotty's words were NOT hyperbole. A year ago, a class action settlement was reached.

See the following URLs (which covers 2011-19 GDI Sontatas)

Unfortunately, the claims deadline closed in August. I'm with InThrustWeTrust. Get rid of the thing.
