How Reliable is your Hyundai?!

[Starex_Gold]

I'm pretty sure that the first owner is slight balasubas.

Kasi yung sa amin wala pa 2 years old, 45K na odo. Hindi pa properly serviced. Skipped some PMS. Ngayon skipped 40000km PMS naman.

Pero no issues.

[peterstarr]

How about this - 2011 sante fe gas, 16k on the odometer. My friend who owns it, experienced shift shock during start, shifting from P to R and then another thug from R to D, and of course while driving as the transmission shifts from gear to gear. It is not like the usual shift shock from the 1st to 2nd gears. You can also have it from 2nd to 3rd.

On several occasions, the Hyundai Service center will say that they could not fund anything wrong. Probably because my friend is a lady who doesn't know anything about cars. Not that i know a lot, but at least we men can be more intimidating at times or we can put more pressure with the SA. So, when i finally went with her one time, i told them to check the oil temp sensor and the solenoid. Lo and behold, after having diagnostics run through the car, it showed a fault on the oil temp sensor,

Now, the sensor is being replaced at the casa and we can hopefully get the car tomorrow.

Can anyone share their thoughts on this?

Minsan kasi hindi sa HARI ang palpak, minsan ang SA, so better change dealer kung hindi ka kapante.. Katulad ako, yung kalampag sa harapan ng 2nd gen sf namin, hindi nakita ng dealer, sa FRONTE pa namin na diagnose na may problema ang caliper bolt, ayun nasolusyan, naayos at nawala nman.. Yung isa naming kasama nagkaproblema sa 4x4 indicator lamp, sabi sa dealer A, nagpalit daw ng mags kaya nag loko.. ... So lipat sa dealer B, yun pala may faulty sensor.. Napalitan naman.. Anyway, kahit saan brand, kung medyo hindi marunong ang kausap mong SA, problema yun.

In terms, of reliabilty, yung previous SF ko at GETZ, wala akong major problem .. SF walang major warranty issues na pinalitan.. GETZ mas lalong wala akong pinalitan for warranty.. I'm not sure if nung panahon na yun ay maganda pa ang quality ng hyundai kasi nag sisimula pa lang sila.. 2005-2007..

Nako sir Vic, takot lang ni SF, pagsa-palitan namin yan ng Gen. 3 Exclusive variant, yun lang di na malalaspag, ang mahal kasi ng Gen. 3

[imperialv]

Happy ako kahit 4x2 lang... :-) kaya i am sure mas maganda yun exclusive variant.

Siyempre yan ang top of the line variant ng KDM units. May mas mauuna pala magkaroon ng Gen. 3 SF dito kesa doon sa bibili pa lang sa March.

BTT: No major problems with my dad's Sonata. Papatingin ko lang yung fuel tank cover kasi hindi bumubukas kapag pinipindot yung fuel tank opener, kailangan pang may susundutin sa loob habang pipindot yung button.

I agree sir imperialv.

my 5yr old 1st gen tucson for the past 3 yrs. walang pinalitan other than items included in my regular diy pms. yes apat ng tyres napalitan, pero more on wear * tear than reliability issue.

*weisshorn.. Yung tucson mo ba previous gen? Feeling ko yung GETZ, 2nd SF,and Previous TUCSON, yan ang panahon na nagpapasikat pa lang si HYUNDAI kaya matibay... So far sa mga nababasa ko, walang issue sa mga models na eto..

ganun din sa GC ko...once in awhile ayaw mag bukas..nasa alignment lang daw yun and stronger springs.

[imperialv]

Nangyari na rin sa akin yan, dun sa dating SF ko, may nilinis lang at ok na uli.

yes sir 1st gen. acquired 2007.

[renzo_d10]

Well, apparently an Elantra can withstand the conditions whenever a zombie apocalypse takes place. So it must be hella reliable... :rofl01:

Tried once to own a brand new 2005 Hyundai Getz, first few months of ownership, I already felt something wrong with the under chassis, brought it to Hyundai Pampanga and replaced a damaged engine support, after a year, another engine support showed signs of failure again, and both incidents were repaired and replaced by HARI under warranty. On the fourth year, my engine drive shaft end oil seal was leaking and a faulty cv joint. In the fifth year, already felt that my rack and pinion has a backlash and another symptoms of engine support problem is starting to recur, never had a chance to have it repaired, I already sell my Getz then. Although this is a low end car from Hyundai, I was not expecting then to have a minor problems, if you would call them minor ones, from four to five years of owning of a brand new car, I was expecting that I will have a trouble free car in the early stages of owning it. In fairness to hyundai getz, the engine is tough though, it never broke down in long trips but unusual noise under the chassis annoys me. I am just comparing it with my former Toyota and honda units which I also acquired as brand new in the past, no problem for having it in five years, just pure PMS and consumable replacement. Do I intend to purchase a hyundai car in the future? maybe yes, maybe not, it depends on what will I read in this forum and what will i hear from my known friends who own a hyundai car too..... It's just me though....

[imperialv]

Sad to hear that your Getz had problems.. Pareho tayo ng model ng Getz, 2005. Mine has A/T with 1.3 engine... Considered it as a tank kasi wala akong naging problema.. Sold it already...

Just an update.....

I bought my 2006 Hyundai Sonata (235hp/ 3.3L) V6 back in July 2005. It's now August 2014. The car has 155,000 miles (almost 250,000 km) on the odometer. It has a small dent at the right rear passenger door where a grocery cart hit it. It also suffered extensive frontal damage after I hit a deer one foggy night in 2011. The car was repaired. It feels pretty solid like new.

So far, I've had to replace the strut covers, tail/brake light bulbs, and the acceleration pedal actuator. I had to replace the latter back in 2012 because I'm very abusive with driving the car. Going to the freeway, I'm already past the speed limit halfway up the merging ramp. So, it's no surprise.

Other than those, the car is fine. I'm still abusive with driving it. That Lambda 3.3L V6 is very sturdy. Hyundai has it up to 293hp which is now the Azera engine.

The car endured six years of harsh winter weather here. It's actually a very good winter driver for a FWD car which is why there's so many 2006-2010 Sonatas here (New York). The Sonata's ESC works very well even without traction control.

My wife wants to trade it in for another van (Toyota Sienna). But, I told her I'll stick with the Sonata because there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the car, especially the engine and transmission.

Back in 2006:

[ronw123w124]

So far ok naman mga Starex at naging Starex namin before, I find it more reliable than the L300's we had way back. Pero pinaka matibay pa rin na van for me was our 95 Toyota Hiace commuter, in the 10 years that we had it A/C cooling coil lang ang nasira on the 7th year, it was just regular PMS. I'd buy another Hiace sana kaso safety comes first, I've become wary of those flat nosed van in the event of a collision.

[CVT]

Wala akong naging problema sa aming Gen3 Starex, until I sold it after 5 years of use (2005-2010) and about 56KKm....

So far, walang ring problema sa aming GS, which I bought 2010...

Pero,- pareho ko silang napa-limp mode (with the "check engine" light turned on), after hard driving on separate inclines,- the Gen3 in Baguio, along Marcos Hiway, and GS in the Talisay-Tagaytay Road. After those incidents,- parang walang nangyari sa kanila,- encountered no problem on the rides....
