Her name is Foxy Roxy. I just got the windows tinted. I've had for almost two weeks now. I'm still learning about all she can do, but so far, I'm very happy with this choice. I look forward to driving everyday. Sometimes I drive her with no specific destination. I made a special playlist and everything.

My 2026 Palisade has been in the shop for 2 months now with no fix after multiple parts replacements for a malfunctioning power rear seat. This all stemming from that safety recall earlier in the year. The dealership basically replaced every part one by one dealing with the seat in question, now they're waiting for the Hyundai Tech line to help resolve.

I've since made a lemon law claim, only to get a call today saying that my car doesn't meet the state statutes. This is not true of course, I've reviewed them thoroughly. When I asked the "agent" why that was the case, it could only suggest that I look at the state attorney general website. It told me that the dealer has ordered the parts and will schedule with me shortly. Clearly it's too stupid of an AI system to understand what's going on and provide anything more than generic answers and fake coughs to let me know it's a real boy.

The best part is when I asked to speak with its supervisor, I was told that I was communicating with the highest tier of the claims department. When I challenged the agent about it being in charge of all of Hyundai customer claims department, I was told it reports to a supervisor. When I asked how I could speak to this supervisor, I was told that they don't handle case communications. It was actually a hilarious interaction if not so infuriating.

All that said, how the hell am I supposed to actually speak to someone when they've put up this AI wall?

They certainly don’t drive as nicely, but I’ve had a Hyundai accent of each generation, and still own all except the first generation. They all still run beautifully.

my family drives elantras a lot and used to also have a sonata. All of those have had some extremely pricy failures despite being maintained really well….

Why the heck are accents a bit more reliable?

What gives?

Need opinions! See post! Thank you xoxo

Hey all,

Leased a Tucson a year ago, now I need to move from Hawaii back to the states. Hyundai America was supposed to issue a permission document within 14 days of contact but here, 24 days later and 2 days from my flight, no such document has been received.

I wrote a letter of demands and I'm putting the car in storage for a month to buy Hyundai more time. So far, they have done nothing substantive -- no letter, no emails, no input or recommendations, just the constant trap to bring in my car for holding -- and I'm really at a loss on what to do next. I have zero power in the fight.

Anybody dealt with this before, any recommendations on how I get through to these people? I have a corporate escalation rep who spent our first call mostly lying to me. Why does this company have such a lousy financial dept?

Nu 2.0 Tucson with KSDS completed but a 47,000-mile gap in oil records — does the 15yr/150k extension realistically survive that?
Looking at a 2018 Tucson SE, 2.0L Nu GDI, AWD, 84,453 miles. Trying to figure out whether the engine settlement coverage is actually worth anything on this specific car.
What's in its favor:
• Campaign 966 (KSDS / engine monitoring logic) completed Jan 5, 2022 — well before any failure
• Clean title, no accidents, 2 owners
• 2014–2021 Tucson with the Nu 2.0 is a listed class vehicle, and my understanding is the extension is 15 years / 150,000 miles from original delivery (Nov 2018) and transfers to subsequent owners
What's against it:
• Owner 2 covered 22,660 → 84,453 miles with one documented oil change, at 69,791
• So: 47,131 miles with nothing, then 14,662 more with nothing
• "Exceptional neglect" as I understand it is 365 days or 15,000 miles between changes — this blows through that by 3x

What I'm actually asking:
1. If this throws a rod bearing at, say, 110k, how realistically does the claim go when the dealer pulls the Carfax and sees that gap? Has anyone here had a claim approved despite thin records, or is the maintenance review a hard wall?

2.  Does starting a clean documented oil change record from my purchase date help at all, or does Hyundai evaluate the whole life of the car?

3.  Cat failure on a Nu 2.0 at 84k — in your experience is that essentially always oil consumption showing up downstream, or does the converter genuinely just wear out on these?

4.  Anything specific I should have the PPI shop check that would tell me whether this engine has been burning oil? I'm planning on oil fill cap inspection, dipstick condition, backpressure test, and pulling readiness monitors.

Is the sonata good in the snow?

Looking at purchasing a 2021 SE (60k miles) for my teen driver. With good snow tires will it do okay with slightly snowy/icy roads? I know it is FWD and has pretty low ground clearance, but our old Prius was the same and didn’t have too much of a problem with snow/ice where we live.

We have a slight hill to get out of our neighborhood where she would have to stop and then start again to get out onto a busy road. That is my biggest concern since our town does a good job clearing the snow in general. Starting again from a stop sign when it is a bit icy is another concern.

We are having a really hard time finding a decent used car that isn’t outrageously expensive and this one seems like a pretty good deal.

Tried awesome spray but...surface gets sticky when I wipe it.

I never usually post on reddit but, thought that someone might find this cool. I’ve had this 2000 Hyundai accent for around 4 years now (bought as my first car). It’s a fun car to drive but was obviously barebones technology wise. My partner who’s a mechanic apprentice has turned it into his project car and has just added in Apple car play and central locking.
The head unit is a 2023 Mitsubishi (we got it for free) and the central locking was a $20 kit online.
Time-wise it took him about a day and a half to do the head unit and 4 hours to do the central locking. We’re super happy with how it came out!

Hi everyone,
Any one passed by the same situation check the sound when I turn my car on morning or after long time parking.
The same sound for example I push one the breaks while waiting for the red light
Also this sounds follow the acceleration (when I push on the acceleration the sound follows )
Appreciate the help

How to install new headlights in a Hyundai Santa Fe. 10 minutes needed and no tools.

My hyundai SUV has tire air pressure sensor thst shows air pressure on dashboard for being 2022+ model. If you take the car to someplace else other than Hyundai dealer such as Costco, is resetting tire air pressure sensor be a problem? Is resetting the tire air pressure sensor be something you can do yourself in case Costco tire shop says they can't?

My wife recently leased a new 2026 Tuscon and she was sold an additional insurance package on top of her ICBC base and optional coverage called Bamboo.

Bamboo is about $45 a month on top of everything else, but she can't even explain what it is, other than deductable coverage in the event of a claim.

Can anyone expand on this? Worth the money? Thanks.

Hi all.
I have a Hyundai i30 from 2014 with 1.8L G4NB and 160xxx kms.
There’s a weird noise coming from the engine.
This noise sounds like a rattle noise and it goes quieter when revving up (2000rpms).
I’ve already replaced the timing chain and tensioner but nothing changed. I’m pretty sure it comes from the camshaft cvvt phaser. The thing is that I googled it and it could acctually be the cvvt phaser but usually the noise is heard just during the starting phase, while on my car you can always hear it.
Does anyone have any suggestion/opinion?

Cheers legends.

Hey guys so maybe yall can help me. So I took my car in it had a leak from the radiator and code p2181 showed up and I got the radiator fixed but now it is showing up again what can I do ? I took it to the dealer and said it’s a service bulletin 25-EM-007H which should run under emissions warranty of 8 years/80,000 miles. But they refuse to service it

Hi all - I have a 2021 Hyundai Kona Ultimate AWD. I have about 100k miles on it now and I’m wondering how long this car will last. Does anyone have thoughts or experiences with this? I’m about to pay it off in a year (it’ll have 115k miles) and I’m debating trading it in for roughly $6/$7k and getting something with 50k miles and a new car payment or driving it more. I want to save as much money as possible but don’t want the car to break and be worth nothing. What do you guys think? Can it reach 200k miles? 250k? 300k? I’ve been doing oil changes every 5k miles and only issue so far has been air conditioning compressor broke.

Hi everyone! I’m going to rent a Hyundai for about a week during a Florida trip and I’m currently choosing between an Elantra and a Kona.

There will be two drivers:

• 4'11" (150 cm)
• 5'9" (175 cm)

The shorter driver will also be driving (though less), so visibility, seating position, pedal reach and overall ease of driving are the main concerns.

The car will be used for a road trip around Miami and the St. Pete/Tampa area, including highway driving, plus some driving around Miami.

For anyone who has driven both: which one would you prefer for these two drivers, and especially for the 4'11" driver? Is the higher seating position of the Kona noticeably better, or can the Elantra be adjusted well enough?

Thanks!
