How Reliable is your Hyundai?!

[JJB]

We just bought a GS VGT 2 wks ago. last week, during heavy traffic, the aircon went hot during stand still traffic. When running, it's cold. We brought it back to the casa after that.
They checked it and suspected there is air in the system so they changed the freon. Went home, no traffic and raining so i did not notice any problem.
This afternon, i went out, it was very sunny and hot outside and the aircon acted again. This time, aircon is hot even when moving, but when i parked in a covered parking, it bacame cool again. Any suggestions gefore I bring it back to the casa? thanks.

Might be the magnetic clutch of the aircon. Dont know how to check if it's working fine, but tell the casa to check that part. Defective talaga yun sa lahat ng models, made by Doowun usually

Thanks JJB. Yun nga feeling ko, bumibitaw yung compressor. Kasi pag engaged, malamig naman kaso biglang iinit, parang ang baba ng setting ng thermostat, konting lamig, patay agad compressor. I'll inform them when I go back there. thanks ulit.

Sir before nyo dalhin sa casa check nyo muna ang settings. may warm & cold setting ang hyundai aircon, sure po kayo na nasa cold setting yan? Ilagay mo kaya sa maximum cool. yung damper flap dapat nasa recirculation mode. Check rin po kapag malamig ang aircon then biglang uminit, tingnan nyo po kong may ice formation ang tube/hose na pabalik sa compressor. Kung meron, sabihin nyo po sa casa. Check nyo lang po kasi bagong-bago pa ang unit parang weird na may defect kaagad. HTH

I bought a Honda City VTEC May 2006, then a Hyundai Tucson Gas 4x2 AT May 2007.
Although mas madalang kong gamitin yung Tucson over City (kaka 50K pa lang ng Odo), I never had any major problems with it.

The only 2 breakdowns was with the code alarm control module that broke down 2010, and the shock/dampener for the hexagonal (2nd) tailgate. Pag glass lang ang binuksan ko sa likod, unti unti na syang bumababa, di na gumagana yung dampener.

Other than that, everything else was the usual wear and tear.
The battery lasted for four years until I decided not to push my luck and replace it last year.
The pathetic hankook tires were replaced last year after 40k kms, and last month, napundi yung isang bumbilya sa fog lamps.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with my Hyundai, that I bought another Hyundai last year.
This time a Clean Blue Elantra 1.8 GLS.
Also a very reliable car although mukhang kailangan kong ipalinis sng air con.
Don't get me wrong, the aircon is fully functionsl, kaso mukhang may nasipsip na dumi or whatever.
Ang baho kasi tuwing bagong bukas ang aircon.

Still, Despite minor nuisances, I'm very happy with my two Hyundais.

Samantalang yung Honda City ko, 2 years pa lang, itinirik na si Misis dahil pumalya ang battery a few hundred meters before reaching the Casa. Kinailangan ding palitan ang bearings at shock absorbers as early as 2009 (3 years).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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..

[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....
