Why Trusting Hyundai Is Dangerous

The KDM community is a tough one, but there's a reason why i'm hesitant of the brand and I don't think it deserves to be labeled as a "hater." From the original days of quality defect issues, to the brand not being able to hold a trim package long enough for the aftermarket car community to feel like it would stay around, Hyundai hasn't always been kind to the US market. If that's not enough, with rumors already spreading that the Kona N will be discontinued due to low sales, one can't help but wonder if Hyundai will ACTUALLY keep the N line around long enough to enjoy. But what are your thoughts? Let me know and of course don't forget to subscribe - bit.ly/3kXgWr0

I have owned Hyundais since the late 1990's, and my ownership experience with Hyundai has been and still is great. I currently own a 2020 Elantra, and actually this is my 3rd Elantra - all 3 were and are reliable, so no issues there. But I also realize that the criticism of Hyundai is well-deserved, being that Hyundai recommends that owners of certain Hyundais should not park their cars in enclosed areas or close to structures is idiotic. Also, the issue some of Hyundai and Kia vehicles not having engine immobilizers is just another example of Hyundai's stupidity. Even though neither of these issues was or is an issue with the model I drive, the reality is Hyundai should have been much more pro-active in resolving and minimizing these issues for their customers. Hyundai has come a long way, and has made strides, and has progressed to be a good brand. But, as a current Hyundai owner, they still should have done better. That being said, I think I am going to give Subaru a try next time, or possibly go back to Mazda. Another contributing reason why I might not buy another Hyundai- if Hyundai sticks with their radical weird looking front end of the current Elantra, there's no way in hell I would buy a car that fugly.

Uh. No. The fire risk was due to the brake fluid leaking and potentially shorting out the ABS module which would risk in an engine compartment fire.

So far,not needing to modify(people still do and they all seemed to run fine.) and handling is beyond imagination. Honestly, pricing point is way better than type r, gti, even M2 competition in 2 stepped up performance car. But dont let that price and brand name fool you. One thing i can tell you is, Hyundai is ahead of any Japanese cars these days. Lexus? Try Genesis and talk about it. Reliability? Its really about the same. But hyundai warranty shines even more. I know people complain about the warranty but thats their own fault that they didn't change oil often and didnt keep any of maintenance records(well, thats because they didn't!)

[@Faydurr]

As a worker in a Hyundai sealer shop, I can tell you right now, we do more blown engine swaps than any other dealer I’ve worked for.

Not wrong at all. I wanna say that Hyundai and kia only makes cars to get a good crash test scores on their cars. I bet you will get pissed off when you see the material of the chassis.

Side pole, side impact, roof and lastly small overlap crash test are all tested on the drivers side. Now if you are a ceo who has to make your car look safe to sell more and make it cheaper, why won’t you only make the driver side safe and make bit more cheaper at passenger side. Hyundai actually does that. And…I can give you review video about hyundai and kia chassis blueprint.

Yeah things change but for the better? I don't think so. If Ur car can be stolen in seconds with a usb, something is definitely wrong. Also I saw someone say that Hyundai/Kia cheaps out on their passenger protection becos the crash test only test the driver side, not the passenger side

Hyundai definitely improved off of the past, but has some major screw ups. Granted, they only have been in the global market about like 35 years, which lile a few companies manage to gain traction in that time. (But, Tesla's love to catch fire to)

Wasn't the fire thing only for those suv with factory installed hitch and last tail piece of wire harness? (issue is with the tail end wire harness shorting) it doesn't affect those who installed their own hitch and tail end wire harness.

[@mike89box]

Dad had a Hyundai atos back when I was a kid fully equipped put 412000 kms on it and never had any issues with it. Oil, brakes, timing belt and fuel pump that’s what he replaced on it . One of the first cars down in Mexico to ever introduce the cd player stereo as stock package. Good old times

[@brandons9138]

I expressed this exact view on Alex's Hyundai Elantra N review. Hyundai and Kia have had very turbulent histories over the last decade. New models coming in and replacing older models. It seems that every few years a model gets cut after just being introduced. I hear that Kia could be ditching the Stinger soon due to poor sales. Which is a smart business move, but hurts brand loyalty among people who've bought Stingers.

nissan moment

[@brandons9138]

@@hieayu7773 Oh man. I think Nissan is in even worse shape than Hyundai or Kia from a brand image perspective. The new Z is a bright spot for them, but that seems to be about the only bright spot. The Altima and Maxima marques have become shells of what they used to be. Their crossovers and SUVs are just ok vehicles. There's nothing there to make anyone walk away from a different brand to buy a Nissan. I just don't see anything in the Nissan line up that makes me want to take a serious look at their cars. They seem to have fallen into the same trap that Mitsubishi fell into around 2008. They are not making cars that people desire (outside of the new Z), but rather they make cars that are marginal and are competing on price alone. Mitsubishi was notorious in the mid 200's for financing anyone with a pulse to buy one of their cars just to make sales and gain market share. It backfired on them when the predominantly younger buyers defaulted on their loans and the cars were repossessed. This strategy basically pushed Mitsubishi to the bottom of the barrel. I can see the same thing happening to Nissan.

@@jameshaulenbeek5931 Like the old saying goes. You don't know what you've got until it's gone. Honda's reputation for quality is earned. Nissan still feels like they are building new cars with quality from 20 years ago.

[@Knux0r]

Almost all car makers are ditching their performance line in favor of EV cars. The Stinger has been around for 6 years now. Low sales won’t be the death of the Stinger, EVs will be, just like many others. Every year they say it’s the last year… With the move to EV 2023 is probably the last one.

[@natnaelkassahun2945]

korean brands don’t know anything about customer/brand loyalty. onr minor example: how many years has the elantra been updated consecutively. when a customer is excited to buy a new model and the very next year, it looks nothing like yours. you can’t be loyal to that.

[@6mtzhp55]

The problem as cars get more expensive, bickering and demand for strong approval or dismissal grows. People have to spend so much that they are wrapping their identities up in the purchase. anything less than approving of them and dismissing their rivals feels like a personal attack to these people.

I’m on my third Hyundai. Two accents and now an Elantra. Both Accents easily went over the 150,000 mile mark with little problems. The second accent had a transmission that went out at 98,000 miles and I only had a 50,000 warranty. Turned out the drive train was a 100,000 mile warranty, so they fixed it for free

I agree. I own a completely stock VN and it hasn't been the reliable car that a 100k warranty led me to believe. I've had lots of factory repairs on mine and seriously considering not keeping it after the warranty runs out. Repairs have also been super slow (waiting for parts) and with the exception of one time, no dealer loaners.

[@misskittykitty3497]

I understand where ur coming from However review should be from the perspective of the car you are driving now not the history. If u include history there should be negative point for bmw as well. The history do matter but should not be placed on the morden models.

[@rickcalix]

That sounds idiotic. Whenever a car is reviewed the company's history is mentioned. You buy from certain companies based on their history. You want a reliable car go toyota and honda, want high hrspwr go bmw and dodge, want performance go porsche and ferrari. Its all based on history.

Have a 2016 Hundai Tucson with 100k miles. All 4 of my windows stopped working one after another around 70-75k miles. Pricey to fix too! Most quotes were 800-900 per window. Got my front windows fixed by buying the parts and having a local mechanic install it. Basically pretend my back windows don't exist and I likely won't fix them

[@Skidmark0606]

Exactly. Constructive criticism is a good thing for anyone and anything to improve. Hyundai isn’t perfect but they’re definitely on the right track and I hope they come out on top. I love my Genesis coupe and love all the improvements they have coming out. Which is why these soy boys that get easily offended should always be ignored and disregarded. Putting everything on a pedestal, even when it’s not warranted, is bad in the long run.
