Ok I watched another video where you said you help diagnose if there's too much pressure when you go to fill with the little can but I can't find it. Do I need to take it to a mechanic so they can suck the refrigerant out with a recycler? It just started blowing hot, it went from ice cold to hot in about 10 minutes. Went to top it off thought maybe the refrigerant was low but the cans pressure gauge was in the red. Any suggestions?

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a recall for 2019-2020 Hyundai Kona and 2020 Hyundai Ioniq electric vehicles after over a dozen battery fires were reported. The agency is also warning owners against parking their vehicles near their homes or any flammable structure. An electrical short in the Kona’s lithium-ion battery cells increases the risk of fire while parked, charging, and driving, NHTSA said, adding, “The safest place to park them is outside and away from homes and other structures.” Last month, Hyundai announced that it would recall some 76,000 Kona EVs built between 2018 and 2020 over battery fire concerns. It was the second recall for the Kona but the first one that was global in nature. The automaker also said it would recall some Ioniqs and electric buses that it manufactures. In total, Hyundai said it would recall 82,000 vehicles, which it estimates will cost $900 million.

Something my great uncle did, a mechanic of 45 years, was he would mark the bolts on the parts he suspected were broken before bringing his cars in for warranty repair. If the marker was untouched, he would immediately know nothing was done so he could threaten legal action.

@wan3416 2 года назад

Similar logic in aircraft production. Torque striped jam nuts after final torque. No torque stripe? Evidence the bolt wasn’t torqued. However, your uncle’s methodology is an interesting application and a good one at that. 5 minutes before running to the shop to keep a mechanic honest

Purchased my Sorento 1 1-2 ago and have already had to replace Engine, brakes and rotors twice and now part of the transmission is bad. Kia doesn’t seem to care or want to help me.

Alabama guy here, I previously worked in assembly for Hyundai. Quality control is top notch, and extreme care is taken into each step. Hyundai vehicles are extremely reliable, but I suggest steering away from dealerships when you have issues. They will nickel and dime you, it’s better to find a mechanic you trust and stick with them. I don’t associate with Hyundai anymore after a career change, however, I may return to the company as a risk/safety manager in the near future. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Hyundai.

Hyundais are good reliable vehicles. On par with Mazdas. Honestly can't go wrong, good bang for your buck. I spent a lot of time researching build quality, was looking at Elantras, ended up finding a better deal on a Mazda3. But both are good options.

@HansomeNdebonair 2 года назад

I have to say my experience has been worlds apart from what I'm reading here. I fully believe in Hyundai as I am about to explain, 1st one I bought was a used one in 2007. An Elantra Hatchback can not recall the specific year. Either 2003 or 2004. Anyway, great ride and gas milage was out of this world. That vehicle had window curtain airbags which saved my wife in a 5 car crash. She was hit twice and spun out. hitting a third car which was a pickup truck. The vehicle was gone but I was so impressed because there wasn't a scratch on my wife. Even the first responders were amazed she could walk away. That convinced me to buy a brand new 2008 Hyundai Elantra. I use to drive 80 miles one way to work (minimum 160 miles a day) so I would change the oil and filters, every other month. Always bought the best tires with the highest warranty because we drove so much. Changed brakes yearly. I am a fanatic when it comes to maintenance. Could not afford to get stuck because I had to go to work. I rotated this car with my 2006 Ford Freestyle. Also maintained that just as well. Anyway, I had that Elantra until a driver t-boned it and bent the frame. That was in 2019. My Elantra had 286000 miles. The only major work was 1 spit plug. Fixed very easily with a heli-coil, and 2nd was a new timing belt which I did myself along with changing the water pump and tension pullies inside. Other than that she was my baby! Always reliable. Never left me stranded. I love Hyundai. They got no bad reputation with me.

@jarod3371 2 года назад

@HansomeNdebonair They are made with thinner metal for the bodies, cheaper thinner plastics in interior, have history engines failures in multiple models. They recalled the engine on several models and years but won't recall the Tucson with same issues. The 10 yr / 100K warranty is only valid for the first owner, 2nd owner only gets the 5 yet 60k warranty. I have a 2012 Tucson, gonna get rid of it before the engine fails. I love their designs of their models and looks but I am hesitant to ever buy one again.

I had a 2001 Hyundai Elantra and put 411,000 miles on it. Gave it to my aunt to drive back and fourth to work and she put another 15k on it. Changed the timing belt at 300k and it still looked good. Because of my Elantra I had three other people buy a Hyundai and all of them have over 250k on theirs and they still drive them. Only thing that went out pretty often is the H7 headlight bulbs. Only thing I ever did was change the oil regulary. I had a stick and generally stick shift cars just last longer. I also had a 1993 Honda Del Sol that had this solenoid that blew out and the car had no spark and I walked the 45 minute home to call the wrecker to get the Del Sol. No warning, NOTHING and was told that those things can blow out of the blue after 30k. So some of you had a bad experience with Hyundai but mine was great. It was the legendary Honda that had me walking home. So I don't prey at the alter of ANY car company. They all have their good years and bad years and good models and bad.

Honestly its right out of the bracket of their older models have all those engine issues. I do agree that the transmission is a little slow, but i just tend to cruise anyhow. Itll pick up when you need it too in or out of sports mode. The dealerships in NC have been very reliable with so i hope to see it smoothly make it past 150k.

Well Scotty, I have two comments: First, most car dealers are scum. That goes for every brand, not just Yunday. I bought mine used, and the dealer I went to ( who I did not buy the car from ) replaced the engine under the recall with no problems. They did the work right, and as fast as you could expect for a job like that, and it didn't cost me a dime. Second, Yunday may not be as good as Honda or Toyota*, but they are better than everything else, including, sadly, now Ford as well. ( *Oops, I forgot Mazda. ) They build a decent car at a decent price. Anybody's overloaded luxury boat is going to be unreliable, nowadays you need to stick to the basic models. That dealer recently sent me another letter offering me almost what I paid for the car nine years ago. I thought about it for a while, and decided that if you have a good car now, you would be stupid to sell it at any price. The world has gone crazy.

@brady2814 Год назад

used to work for hyundai as a service writer, and those transmissions are duel clutch transmissions. They will shift different from your traditional standard transmission. Hyundai did warranty most of the ones that my customers came in with problems with and worked just fine after that. The problem is that there are some of those customers that came back with the same issue. After sometime Hyundai basically said thats just how the duel clutch transmissions are and if there is a real problem we will do a judder test. If it fails the test then we will proceed to replace the transmission. Now with it taking 3 months to get the car all said and done is also normal. The reason for that is, due to the process of getting the warranty approved by hyundai then waiting for the back ordered parts for the car. Now obviously some dealerships take better car of their customers but it's not fair to say all hyundai dealers are bad. Hyundai is still a good brand and personally love the cars but there is a process and it's not always perfect in the customers eyes and i understand why. I did my personal best to make sure the customer was getting the best possible service to my ability and resources given to me. *NOT ALL HYUNDAIS ARE CRAP*

But it doesn’t happen during regular driving from a stop through normal acceleration. ONLY when slowing down to where it’s between first and second.

I have a 2018 hyundai sonata that I bought brand new with 13 miles on it on July 2nd 2018. It's got 41,000 miles on it now and so far it has been a flawless vehicle. I plan on keeping it 8 years total. I'm hoping it doesn't give me any real problems while I own it. I've been having all the recommended maintenance done to it right on time since I bought it.

Being told, "We replaced the transmission 3 times," then being told it was overhauled 3 times, and then being told, "They all do that" is ridiculous!!! And they get away with it. Pitiful!!! Disgraceful!!! And Hyundai is not the only one doing it. Criminal!!!

@fasamus Год назад

I hear you Scotty but I'll strongly disagree on this one. I've so far bought about 10 -12 Hyundai from 6 cyl Sonatas to the current 1.6t turbo along with Toyotas and RAM trucks. My wife had a couple Elantras. We never had any issues with any of them period other than regular maintenance. I have driven them all day long across states a few times and they have been comfortable and trouble free. Yes dealerships are pain in butt....while few of them are professionals most aren't. Even when you go for oil changes they don't seem to be courteous enough as they were when they first sold you the car...lol. On a serious note, I think those who negatively bash a product should 1st experience it for a while before providing honest feedback. We never thought we would buy a Hyundai. We once went to Toyota to find a car for my wife. Then thought to check out nearby Hyundai and the car and tech along with the price seemed way ahead. We took the chance and have bought few more since. I think Scotty had a fight with his wife and is taking out on the car now. Over that Hyundai never pays him to keep his mouth shut ☺.

Got a 2015 Hyundai Sonata with 226,358 miles on it. Still going strong. Dealer had to replace the break master cylinder at 62000 miles. Did it under warranty. Been a fantastic car. Change the oil every 3-4000 miles religiously. I think thats why it's lasted so long.

@jimbrown341 2 года назад

Scotty, you need to get with the times my man. Hyundai and Kia are incredible bang for the buck cars today. They get rave reviews from car reviewers every year. They win awards on reliability every year too. The US consumer knows this. As soon as they see what Hyundai and Kia are offering in their cars compared to other US cars, they know they are getting a steal of a deal. Heck, I've seen Kia's that have Android Auto in them from 7 years ago. It's a firmware update on the GPS head unit. Is Ford and GM doing that? Heavy doubt!

@TeKnoVKNG23 2 года назад

Yeah he's been pretty clueless in both the Hyundai/KIA rants. We have both in the garage, 2013 Tucson and a 2014 Soul. Both closing in on 90k miles, have had to do nothing except general maintenance and battery replacement/new tires and replaced front brakes. There have been some recalls, but dealership has fixed them effortlessly and I've never had the customer service issues he claims exist so I don't know. Just seems like the Honda/Toyota bias is kicking in.

For anyone concerned about working with a dealership for warranty work, look over your warranty or extended service contract. In those contracts they explain in detail what shops are allowed to do warranty work on your car. Just because it came from a dealership does not mean you have to go there unless the contract states that is your only option which would be pretty rare. Most dealerships and even manufacturers do not have their own warranty coverage its done through a 3rd party financial group like AUL. AUL allows their clients to go to ANY ASE or AAA rated mechanic/body shop for warranty work, this can be a dealership or a mechanic shop. So be sure to read your contracts and never be afraid to contact the customer service line for that warranty, and ask you might just be surprised at your options.

@tsd550 2 года назад

Let us assume for a moment that the dealer has ‘changed all the internals’ and that the casing is the only original part. Since the gearbox still make the same noise of which the owner complained, it surely follows that the only item that can be responsible MUST be the casing. That being the situation, the casing needs to be changed. Alternatively they could stop taking their customer for a mug and either fault-find the actual cause or actually replace the entire gearbox.

@carlv8168 2 года назад

Scotty, I love your videos, but for God's sake, quit calling Hyundais "crap"! I bought a brand new non-turbo Veloster in 2012, and it still is 100% reliable and never had any defect issues with it. Of course, I got mine in a manual 6-speed stick shift, but you can't paint all Hyundais with the same broad brush, as crappy cars. I have 133k miles on mine now, and it still runs and drives like new.
