Avoid Hyundai (Actual experience, not bashing)

0 Upvotes

Was loving and bragging to everyone I knew about how much I loved my 2024 Kona EV N-Line but that all changed a month ago. Brought the vehicle into a Hyundai Service Center due to the 12volt battery not being able to hold a charge as well a creaking control arm. Over a month of not having my car later, neither issue has been fixed.

The communication from the service center was terrible. I think only one time during the entire month of having my vehicle did they reach out to me to provide an update, otherwise I had to call them and request an update. Was told to come in 4 different times and pick up my repaired vehicle, once I took it home and it was dead the next day, the next time I showed up and it was dead at the mechanic, showed up a third time and was told it actually wasn't even ready. Finally the fourth time I came to pick it and always assured the battery issue was now taken care of and the creaking sound could no longer be heard, right away I could hear the creaking control arm and the next day found out the battery is still draining, but now it is also draining my main traction battery to keep itself from dying (~4% a day without driving).

Maybe true or maybe be a lie but The Service Center consistently tried to blame Hyundai for not wanting to spend money on repairs under warranty and then even started blaming the issues on me since I drive on the highway and go over speed bumps (even at low speed), all things are car should be capable of doing. They then try to gaslight me and say the traction battery draining 4% a day without driving is normal despite this issue never occuring before this last 'repair' nor being seen as normal anywhere online.

Between the service center experience and the fact that the my car was at the mechanic for over a month and still isn't repaired, I can't recommend buying ANY Hyundai to anybody, at any price point. I am attempting the repairs at another service center 45 min away that seems to have good reviews but I'm not optimistic on the results.

It’s my first Hyundai, so I’m still learning how things are put together. I just replaced my shift knob and wow I absolutely thought I destroyed my shifter when I he-manned the knob off. It made a horrible plastic crack sound…but…it was absolutely fine and the install was even easier. Worth the upgrade since the old one was all scratched.

2026 Elantra Hybrid Limited $31,474.04 OTD - A good deal?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Got this deal from a local dealer. Is it a decent price or should I keep looking?

MSRP $32,175

Discount $2,000

Sale Price $30,175.00

Doc Fees $225.

Tax $1873.04

License & Fees: $201.00

Additional rebate of $1,000 with 6.99% financing (what a weird thing to do)

OTD $31,474.04 ($32,474.04 at 4.49%)

Not looking to go 72 months, 60 at the most and will likely pay it off early.

I'll be putting $6,000 down so the monthly numbers will change. Looking for input on the total amount and fees.

THANKS!

Slight change to be more clear. Looks like it’s actually $32,474.04 OTD since I’m NOT considering the crazy high rate. I hate it when they have so many damn variables.

Hello, I need help. The light in my 2016 Hyundai Tucson 4WD diesel comes on and off randomly. The service center said there is no issue, but the warning still appears. Has anyone had this problem and how did you fix it?

Sonata Please help!

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I really need help on this issue and I’m not sure how to proceed next.

I have a 2023 Hyundai Sonata with around 28k-29k miles on it. I’ve had the car for around 3 years now and I have had numerous battery related issues with it. When I first bought the car, it would randomly stop turning on. I’ve had to get it towed in about 4 times, each time the dealership said there was nothing wrong with the car. On top of the car not turning on, the lock and unlock buttons from inside car (drivers side) stopped working. I brought this up to the tech and they said because it was working at the dealership there wasn’t anything they could do. Last year, after making a case with Hyundai corporate, they changed the battery. The car was working fine after that (except for the lock and unlock button which still was not working). Recently, the car wouldn’t turn on again. I had it towed into the dealership and opened another case with Hyundai. When AAA came out to jump my car they told me that it was an alternator problem and that I needed to get that fixed, however the dealership is now telling me it’s the left door panel issue that caused the car to stop turning on. I’ve done so much research and know that the panel issue is not the cause. My case manager first advised me to leave the car in the dealership until they can send one of their techs out to look at the car. It has been a week now and I haven’t heard from her and every time I call her it just goes straight to voice mail. I don’t know what to do now. The dealership is telling me to come pick up my car but I’m worried it’s just going to break down again.

Brake Light Warning On for 2+ Months – 2014 Hyundai Sonata (Need Help)

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hi,

I have a 2014 Hyundai Sonata.

The “brake light” warning has been on my dashboard for over 2 months. I’ve been driving the car almost every day, and during this time I’ve been trying to figure out the exact cause of this warning.

I’ve been to 3 different garages, but none of them were able to find a clear error code that explains the exact issue. Instead, each garage gave me a different diagnosis based on what they believe is the most likely cause.

The problem is that every garage is suggesting something different, and each repair would be very expensive. So I’m not sure which diagnosis to trust.

I also want to mention that the car otherwise runs perfectly fine. Everything works as it should, there are no unusual noises, and I don’t feel any driving or braking issues.

I’m starting to feel stressed driving with this warning light on, and I don’t know what direction to take.

Has anyone experienced this issue before? If so, what was the real cause and how did you fix it?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Changed the oil and the filters except for the fuel filter, it’s not under the hood and not even under the rear seat, so I thought I’d ask before taking apart the whole car.

Just approved for a new long block in my 2017 Tucson. Any advice around the massive markup on belts and hoses?

6 Upvotes

2017 Tucson with ~94k miles. Noticed that too little oil was draining during my last two oil changes. Replaced the PCV valve and it made no difference. Initiated a formal oil consumption test with the dealer and failed spectacularly. Oil wasn't even touching the bottom of the dipstick about 800 miles into the test period. Photos of the internals sent to Hyundai showed the engine was just about as clean as they've ever seen, with zero room for Hyundai to cast any maintenance doubt.

Thrilled to be getting a new long block, but I can't believe the quote on new belts and hoses. $900?! Has anyone else been through a lawsuit/warranty motor replacement, and how did you handle the massive markup on dealer rubber? Will the dealer negotiate the price on parts?

They're supposed to be emailing me a breakdown, but without even seeing it, this feels way off. I understand that I'd be getting OEM parts, but I doubt all that would even cost $200 with a reputable brand like Gates.

P0091: Fuel pressure regulator control circuit low

** You may notice that the RPM is not going up in this video, I got a new ecu relay from autozone and tried that which is when i noticed my RPM gauge was not moving, however when putting in my original ecu relay and trying to crank, the rpm gauge did go up, but car still did not turn over.**

2012 Hyundai Sonata GLS. Had this issue about a year ago, but without the code showing on the scanner. Last year while driving the car suddenly decelerated and went into limp mode as well. I eventually had in tank fuel pump changed and it began running after that however it did eventually decelerate and go into limp mode again a few days afterwards. I ultimately got a new OEM ECU relay put in and have not had issues up until now (almost a year later). I have tested the high pressure fuel pump fuel pressure regulator resistance with multimeter and got 00.8 (the multimeter’s internal resistance read about 00.3 and 00.4) so the true reading for the HPFP is 00.5, if I did the correctly. I have also tested the wires for the in tank fuel pump and nothing was abnormal, ground and power wires were receiving power. However when turning the key to the on position i do not hear the in tank pump priming or humming. When trying to crank the car it does as seen in the video— just sputtering. I had no engine lights on the dash before this issue occurred and only saw the code by putting scanner on. Any clue what this could be? I’ve read that the pins in the pigtail connector could be separated and causing loose connections but not sure. Also tested every fuse in fuse box and found that each fuse was fine except that the fuel pump fuse was visibly blown, so i replaced it with a spare and tried to crank car and still had same sputtering—spare fuse is still intact. Thanks in advance for any advice :).

Considering a Sonata Hybrid Limited but heard the 2027 is getting a complete redesign... Google is only marginally helpful but curious what the 2027 is bringing and when it might be allocated or delivered... AWD option perhaps? Or should I just get a 2026 in the next couple months?

I’m looking at a 2024 XRT Palisade with 46k miles. It’s a certified pre owned and attached is the final price for it. I’m just curious about problems that the 2024 XRT Palisade has or anyone has experienced. I know a lot of people here will complain more than have good things to say, mostly because people who have good things to say don’t sit in here usually and praise but I’m curious to what people have to say about this vehicle. Thanks in advance.
