How Reliable is your Hyundai?!

[macstar1]

My 1st Gen Tucson acquired 2007 nakarating ng visayas, North of Luzon, up to Baguio, several trips to Lucena & di na mabilang na Tagaytay sorties hanggang ngayon going strong pa rin. Kayang kaya makihabulan sa Montero non VGT (di pa nasubukan sa VGT eh). Warranty claim in the first & 2nd year of ownership ay aircon clutch assy & rack & pinion assy (all replaced by casa free of charge). Reliable?? of course yes. Nakakarating ako sa papuntahan ng walang problema. Now my 1.8GLS Elantra so far wala pa major complain except sa mis-aligned hood noong narelease ang unit pero pinalitan ang hinges & re-aligned at casa in my first 1K PMS.

Pareho pala tayo ng profile, 2007Tucson and 2011Elantra.
And mukhang pareho din tayong satisfied hehehe

Although kailangan ko nang ibenta si Tucson para makapag-upgrade sko sa mas malaking oto :-(

Hi! We got our i10 last january and after 7 months and less than 10k mileage, the shifter got stuck in the reverse gear. This happened yesterday and i'm so disappointed. Called my dealer and they will be sending their service team to our location (100 plus km away) for a fee (1,500 pesos) and will see if it is warrantable. They will also try to fix it. The way i see it, i will be paying them a good deal of money for a problem that a brand new car is having and to top it off there is a possibility that i will be paying for the parts if they "decide" its not warrrantable. Napaaway na ako over the phone sa service manager nila this morning because any way i see it, dehado ako. I hope this turns out well tomorrow. I love my i10 and before this, i had no problem with it.

Dapat under warranty pa rin yan i-report mo sa HARI pag siningil ka.

[reysellejane]

yun nga rin ang sentiments ko, how do i report to HARI?

Covered ng warranty yan basta walang ebidensya na nasira dahil sa maling pag gamit. Ang hindi covered ng warranty ay mga consumable/wearable parts lang tulad ng brake pads, filters, etc. Wala ka dapat bayaran. Ano ba unit mo, AT or MT? Claim mo ang warranty sa dealership. sila ang mag prepare ng papers to endorse to HARI. New ang unit nyo so I assume na meron ka One Hyundai Club Card magamit po ito as discount sa parts & svcs. Report mo sa CRM ng HARI pag ikaw ay pinaikot-ikot ng iyong service advisor. Saan ba location mo? Yang 1.5K para saan ba yan? transportation fee ng service tech? baka pwede mo claim sa insurance?... I'm not sure with this. For Some help, get in touch with i10 club under the THP (TeamHyundaiPhils). The club is officially recognized by HARI. The admin there can extend some help to you. That is what the club for, to help owners of Hyundai brand cars. HTH

Our 1.4 Accent is holding up well.. We got it last year around August and so far it is doingnwell..

Only brought it back to the casa because the alarm and central door locks dont work at times. Aside from that all is well with the car.

Thanks po, the hyundai mechanic arrived just this morning, 3 days after we reported our problem. Naayos nila for the meantime and sabi ng mechanic na warrantable daw yung nasira. when we visit the center for the 10km PMS, doon na aayusin or papalitan. the 1,500 fee is 'service call fee' parang to liquidate the cost of fuel sa pagpunta nila and naging 2000 pesos na because mali daw ang quote sa akin dahil malayo-layo pa daw ang location namin. The service center is in Tacloban City and we are in Almeria, Biliran Province, distance is about 120 kms. Sakit lang sa loob ko na i have to pay that service call fee na dahil naman sa defect sa kotse nila ang cause nito. Sila na nga ang may kasalanan tapos ako ang pagbabayarin sa expenses para mai-ayos ang kasalanan nila. hindi naman yata tama yun. hyundai spends millions for the marketing/advertising of their cars but they cannot shoulder this kind of expense sa after sales service. Nakaka-disappoint lang.

[pop3corn]

parang inferior ang electricals ng hyundai eh. yun mga bulbs mas madali mapundi as compared to my Jap crv.

tapos nag-fail na yun mga actuators ko sa keyless entry. now 2 doors na. yun actuator ng fuel bin ko failed na.

this is from a 2006 Sta Fe. kaya parang wag muna masyado mag-trust sa Korean. malalaman nyo problema pag tumagal na.

pano pa kaya pag yun mga injectors na pinagsasabi nila sa diesel thread ang mag fail

[jaymd]

alam ko pati aircon madali masira. tapos mahirap paayos.

Bought 2 Hyundais in 2 Years (i10 1.2 MT -> But was sold to make room for the new accent,Accent 1.4L AT)

For the two hyundais I have, ang common denominator ng dalawa is "very weak yong underchassis"

My i10 in its first year, kalampag na although inasikaso naman ng CASA (Rack & Pinion, Rack End, Stabilizer Link)
Yong accent ko naman, nag 1 year no'ng april the same case with my i10, Rack & Pinion, Rack End & Stabilizer LInk din + Rear Hub Bearings)

I guess history repeats itself... hehehehehehehe

nasa driving mo yan tsong

nasa driving mo yan tsong

I don't think so... Been driving for quite sometime, with my first ride, a 1997 Corolla, then sold to get 2003 Vti Civic. Never had any suspension related issue.

I am driving a paved road all the way... My i10? it's lady driven and sold it while it's 7K Kilometers Old. And that car only travels 8-10Km a day, and completely paved from home to my wife's office...

And by the way, my honda city GM, with 17K KM on its ODO Reading never had this kalampag thing...

If you are to stroll down to different hyundai forums, maraming problema pertaining to underchassis. The rack & pinion thing is common sa mga i10.. Try to ask the i10neans, as they are the one who told me to have the rack & Pinion replaced.

And also, at this early may mga cases na rin ng faulty Rack & Pinion na problema with 2011 Elantra... Got few friends, and some from the metro manila are complaining na din on this issue.

Sa accent ko, I didn't noticed it at all when suddenly the steering wheel feels heavier and heavier day by day. Tapos, para makasiguro, as I went through that Rack & Pinion thing with my i10, I ran the car through an unpaved road to test it, and hayon, karambola na ang pang-ilalim (drivers side)...

However, palaisipan pa rin sa akin bakit yong 2 rear hub bearings ko got busted. Don't have any passengers neither, once in a blue moon lang kung magkakaroon ng pasahero sa likod. And with the upgraded mags, I don't think so, pati Hyunda CASA nga, hindi mapoint out na yong mags ang culprit.

But of course, I am happy that they replaced those stuffs free, nor the casa insist to let me pay as I have after market mags. Rack & Pinion, I have to wait for 6-8 weeks pa bago darating...

Hyundai Starex, 2011 with 12,000 on the odometer.

Suffered from prematurely worn brake pads (<10,000 KM) and a clogged aircon filter before one year.

Aside from the cost of maintenance and irritatingly short lifespan of the brake pads, so far so good. I'm hoping we won't need to use the 5 year warranty.

My Accent clogs its AC filter in less than a year too. Im on my 18th month ownership and Im about to replace it again probably this coming weekend. In comparison, I have a 2 year old Vios which still has its original filter and AC is still flawless.

Last night on the news a Tucson (new model) bumped two taxis, front collision sa Tucson then after,it caught fire, there even was a video of it. Hope isolated incident only.

[basti08]

ah Tucson pala yung nagliyab, inaabangan ko nga sa news kaso nalagpasan ko hehehe...

awwww.... bakit daw nagliyab?

[parakitoJDM]

was it a Gasoline or Diesel Tucson?

[BKR5]

No info yet if gas or diesel. I failed to notice if it had a door guard or not which diesels have and which the gas model does not have.

awwww.... buti covered ng warranty, ako yung busted horns lang. tinanggihan pa ko ng Hyundai Otis. Ayos!

had a Starex 2000 model a few years ago bought 2nd hand. After a month, the plastic water reservoir/coolant broke on our way up to Baguio. Almost got overheated. Luckily we were near Baguio city proper and was able to purchase a new one and installed it while parked along Marcos Highway. After another month, biglang naging mausok while we were on our way to Clark. Ayun, bumigay na pala ang turbo and had to replace it. After this incident, sold it immediately and told myself not to but another Hyundai car.

Wrong! Just bought a 2nd hand 2010 Santa Fe R-eVGT a month ago. I dont know the cause but the Rear Defogger switch is not working, the Auto wiper sensor is not working properly too, the CV boot (outer) is torn open, I can hear a slight kalampag in the front right suspension system, the fog lights were burnt and melted (due to HID and repalced them already) and the battery has been replaced by a motolite. And to think the unit is only 2 years old with 30t kms logged in the odometer. Fogging also appear in the headlight in times of rain while the headlights are on. Well, these are all covered by warranty and according to the casa I talked to, they will replace all of these, subject to approval of their warranty officer. I dont know if the previous owner was barumbado sa paggamit ng santa fe or meron talaga problema sa durability ng mga ito.

But over-all, I am very happy with the engine and tranny performance of the Santa Fe ( going 190 kph at a portion of SCTEX for a few seconds). This is the exact reason (engine and tranny) why I specifically purchased the R-eVGT model. Also happy with the build quality of the interior and the exterior upgrade of this model.

However, what i am not happy about is the cost of maintenance with the CASA and the long period of waiting for parts under warranty. Hope that HARI improves on these aspects as these were lingering problems of Hyundai owners for the past years already.
