Hyundai electrical problems
Owners have filed 8,236 complaints with NHTSA about the electrical system on Hyundai vehicles — 11% of everything reported about the brand, across 48 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Hyundai Sonata, worst in 2011.
These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
