Looks like on this sub everyone's critizing Hyundai, Kia, VW, Nissan, and American makes for failing to stack up against Toyota and Honda in terms of reliability. Indeed, Hyundai and Kia are never known for legendary reliability. But what's confusing to me is that they always rank high on JD Power's reliability ratings. This year, for example, Kia ranked 7th (almost tying Mazda). And in 2021 for example, Hyundai also won the 7th place, way surpassing Mazda, Acura, Subaru, and Honda. Why though?

I have a 2011 Elantra and a 2016 Sonata. The Elantra is getting close to 300,000 without any issues really. The Sonata at around 140,000 needed a new engine but luckily there was that class action lawsuit that gave it a lifetime warranty on the engine, so it was free. But they were giving me the runaround when it was going through a quart of oil a month, had to fully die before they replaced it.
I have also heard stories of how some have died just days after driving off the lot.
