How Reliable is your Hyundai?!

[jaggerx3]

How to know if may problema ang suspension? Wala naman ako nararamdaman pero ang experience ko sa mga Hyundai ko pare parehas pag nadaan sa lubak o pangit na daan parang tunog malalaglag ilalim ko

1. Recently developed a problem with the A/C. The compressor would no longer 'click' on after several minutes of driving.
2. The RH side mirror turn signal light would light up when I step on the brakes. And when the right signal lights are selected, the blinking would speed up when I step on the brakes. Prior to stepping on the brakes, blinking is normal and all three bulbs (front, side mirror, and rear) are working.

1. Scan using a good ecu scanner. I could be throwing a pending code for A/C.

2.Check for sa loose bulb socket.

2006 Hyundai Starex GRX CDRI owner here. Van has 264,800 km on the odometer.

Have replaced the shifter lever and shifter bushings twice, the first time within the warranty period. Have also replaced front stabilizer links twice. Clutch has been replaced once. Radiator coolant reservoir replaced twice.

Timing belt replaced every 80,000 km. I still use the van to travel to QC from Pangasinan every other month, otherwise, it just runs around the province.

she got lemon brand new. i didn't get lemon unit. it was working fine for first 3 years. then the problems happened.

as you see I collect cars. instead of losing money to depreciation cost, i kept my cars and used it sparingly in 2 times a week for 3 cars. now that I have 4, may one day for a week for one car, the other two if my favourite.

the thing is kinaiinis ko sa hyundai ko, di ko na gano nagamit coz 10 years na nga sya, pero may nasisira pa din. if you'll ride with my car sa third row, bagong-bagong seats noon lol. when I diagnosed my aircon problem sa blend door actuator, I went inside the dash, wow bagong-bago pa car ko. pero bat ang dami problema.

then I look at my other cars in my garage, my 2 japs no problems whatsoever. so that's why I concluded, I will never buy a Hyundai again

Sabi sa manual ng mirage ko dapat pinapaandar ang kotse 5mins long every week kung hindi masyado ginagamit ang sasakyan para hindi magstuck up ang gas compressor ng aircon

Kasi may lubricant ang compressor na titigas kung hindi paaandarin ang makina. Nakasalalay kasi sa andar ng makina ang ikot ng compressor

Your experience proves that hyundai utilizes inferior quality of aircon compressor lubricants than japanese

change oil, filter, spark plug lang for almost 5 years, 35,000 sa ODO

[CVT]

GS TCI AT, EGR-blocked, 7 years old, with mileage of 37.5KKm....

Used it yesterday, approx 200km total. Total of 8 riders with some baon...

No issue whatsoever... Still loving driving it..

^how does it perform on an uphill, considering its an 8valves only diesel engine?

no offense, but many years ago, everyone had 8 valves. diesel and gas.
we had no hill problems, even then.

ability to work isn't based on number of valves exclusively.

[kisshmet]

^i know that old engines began with minimal valves until multi valves made it better

So 16 valves will perform better on an uphill climb fully loaded & an 8 valves van can tread an uphill alright with difficulty under a full load condition

180k on my elantra 😊 engine and tranny still smooth

changed remote battery. I thought car battery was drained.

3.0v wasnt good enough for the remote...

new 2032 was 3.3v

remote works again...

Valves got nuthin' to do with it. Well, they have something to do with it... fewer valves means theoretically more restricted breathing... but that's not the be-all and end-all of the story.

It's all about proper tuning.

Even modern one liter engines have better tuning and powerbands, thanks to EFI and electronic ignition timing, than carburetted 1.6 and 2.0 gasoline van engines.

Ramps that our 2.0 Vanette could barely tackle at full blast in first gear (slowing almost to a stop near the top) with no passengers, I can take at a slow crawl in most modern 1.5 liter MPVs.... with a full load.

On our steep test road out on Makiling, I have never had any issues with a modern car. Even an 800cc Alto or Eon, with a full load of FIVE passengers has no problems at all.

this being the reliability thread...
16 valves means twice as many potential problems as 8 valves.

If it's SOHC 8V versus SOHC 16V, very little difference. Just a slight increase in cost in terms of valve adjustment... maybe ten, twenty years down the road.

i did say "potential".
but you're right, of course.
modern metallurgy now offers a lot better metal than years ago.

I have no issue with its uphill. To me, it is near "at par" with our VGT Mitsu. Also, its powerband is almost uniformly distributed.

Uphill, it is no doubt, better,- compared to our Gasoline rides: a Toyota Wagon, Honda car and (as niky said earlier) our Nissan van.

As of May 2017, I haven't had engine and transmission parts replaced yet on my 2006 Hyundai Sonata V6. It was bought back in July 2005.

Mileage is at 189320 miles (304681 km).

It still accelerates 0-60 mph somewhere in the 6.5-second range.

I haven't gone over 100 mph since I got a speeding ticket a while back (last year).

But, the driver door window glass now grinds a bit when raised or lowered.

Original A/C still cools very well during monsoon season.

I also stuck with the default 16" tires because bigger ones might have unfavorable effects on acceleration.

I want to replace it with say, a Genesis V6 sedan or maybe a Nissan V6 Altima. But, the wife wants a minivan.

V6.....

All the minivans sold here are V6.

Other V6 cars I want to consider.....

Hyundai Azera
Hyundai Santa Fe
Nissan Maxima
Nissan Murano
Honda Accord
Honda Pilot
Toyota Camry
