Hyundai IX35 Problems

The trade-in price guide is $15,200 to $17,400, but with the low odometer yours should be at the top end of the range.

You should be able to use the aux by just turning the ignition to “on”.

The CX-5 and Tucson are both highly rated medium SUVs, and I’m sure both would be good choices for your needs. Both are refined and cabin noise doesn’t appear to be a problem with either of them. If I were to choose I would go for the CX-5.

For beach and basic trail driving I'd be aiming for something with a locking centre differential, which all-wheel drive versions of the previous generation X-Trail certainly had. Another suitable good value option would be an all-wheel drive Hyundai ix35. Both of which were available in diesel. Any common issues will likely be highlighted on our X-Trail and ix35 problems pages.

By all means you can try, but I doubt that you will have any success. The car is six years old, and the steering wheel is something that is subject to wear simply from being handled.

The radio reception in Hyundai cars has been a regular compliant over the years, and there's never been a satisfactory solution. Being a relatively new car I would persist with Hyundai and request a replacement head unit as a gesture of good will. I think Hyundai would be crazy to refuse you and risk damaging its reputation.

It's probably the Hyundai radio playing up. It could be the antenna. Have a radio specialist check it for you.

Intermittent problems like yours are always hard to diagnose and fix because they rarely occur when the mechanic is present to observe them. It seems as though yours has gone into limp home mode after the computer detected a fault. The only course of action is persistence until the source of the problem shows up in a diagnostic check, or when the mechanic is there to witness it.

It should handle it without any trouble at all. Just remember that the tare weight doesn’t include the things you will carry in the camper, so it will weigh more when you’re towing. Also remember that the towing rating of 1600 kg is for a trailer with brakes, in the case of a trailer without brakes the rating drops to 500 kg.
