Hyundai fuel system problems
Owners have filed 3,947 complaints with NHTSA about the fuel system on Hyundai vehicles — 5% of everything reported about the brand, across 46 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Hyundai Sonata, worst in 2013.
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.
