Hyundai Problems

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.

I don't blame you; the problem should have been fixed a long time ago. It sounds to me like it could be related to the diesel particulate filter regeneration, but whatever it needs a proper investigation. Take it back to your dealer and ask them what they plan to do about it. We will contact Hyundai on your behalf and request their assistance in fixing the problem.

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 is probably backlash in the driveline, as you say like that you would experience in a rear-drive diff. If it's only happening when you backing out of the driveway I wouldn't be concerned about it.

Ask that a service representative go with you, so you can show them what the problem is and that it is still present. Once you have their agreement that there is a problem you should be able to move forward and get a resolution.

There's nothing of great significance to report on with the i30, it was a great step forward from the Getz it replaced. The issues that cause most concern relate to the radio and the battery, which can go flat and cause starting issues. I wouldn't be too concerned about those, however, as the i20 is a safe and sound little car.
