Those engine replacements were likely IIRC recalls, as a while back Hyundai recalled a lot of Sonata's (the 6th Gen) and other vehicles with similar engines, which likely extended towards Kia models that shared the engine. The fire risk was also a recall. While these are severe recalls, they are not uncommon amongst other brands, even BMW has done large recalls for fire risks, as well as N63 engines in general which received many recalls, and other brands such as Honda and Toyota have had severe recalls. Hyundai/Kia as a whole though still while maybe not as reliable as Toyota or Honda, are likely better than Nissan, most European and American brands.
