Hyundai I30 2013 Problems

It's not uncommon for rotors to wear out at low kilometres, as yours have done. The wear varies from brand to brand, from car to car, and can depend on driving conditions.

For reliability and no-fuss driving it's best to go for an Asian brand rather than a European one. Euros can be expensive, particularly when they get older. I would suggest a 2013 Kia Rio or Hyundai i30, both are good cars, both have electronic stability control and fit within your budget.

It seems you have been, and continue to be treated appallingly.

I cannot believe that the problem hasn't been sorted. If it is beyond the dealer, and Hyundai in Australia, to fix it they should fly a technician out from Korea to fix it.

We have contacted Hyundai to seek help in sorting the problem.

UPDATE - 22/03/2017

As a result of our contacting Hyundai we understand you have been offered two free services as a gesture of goodwill and that you are "delighted" with the outcome.

As our politicians keep saying, you should be alert, not alarmed. It's happened twice in 40,000km, so it's going to be hard to diagnose until it's doing it more regularly. Monitor it closely, and keep a record of when it happens and any symptom you observe that might help your mechanic trace the cause.

You could upgrade to a more-powerful high-beam halogen globe but it's a common problem as many Asian makes focus on low-beam performance because their countries are mostly urban. So they use Xenon gas for HID low beams but do not bother to upgrade the high beam from halogen.

I don't doubt that you feel frustrated; I would too. The diagnoses you have been given are all plausible, but they clearly need more investigation to establish the real cause. Go back to your dealer and ask them to tell you what they plan to do to fix your car. We will contact Hyundai in the meantime and ask for head office help for you.

It would seem that the problem with your car hasn't been fixed, and that instead of recommending you sell it, the dealer should be fixing it. Take it back and demand that the problem be sorted out, get Hyundai involved directly if you feel that will help resolve it faster.

Don't you just love it when the dealer and the carmaker can't get their heads together to sort out a problem, instead they just duck shove it back and forth between them. Go back to the dealer and express your disappointment and ask that they call in Hyundai to help sort out the problem. It's their responsibility to sort it out and they should take the lead.
