Hyundai i30 PD (2017-2020) Questions & Answers

Like any other i30 variant, it's great! Only problem to look out of is the AEB, you may want to turn it to 'Late' another review I saw had it kicking in way to early though, this issue was only 1 review out of all the product review, reviews. The GO is great value for money, only thing it lacks is alloy wheels and rear parking sensors (it does atleast have a reversing camera :) ).

Seem to be a few owners having this issue including myself. I've taken it 3 times to the dealership over 1.5 months I've owned the car. They can't find anything wrong or a solution to the issue and have told me to monitor it i.e. live with it and wait if Hyundai releases an update to the ECU.

After going through Hyundai Australia ( via the motoring press!).... the dealer did manage to replicate the fault... once. The dealer, on Hyundai’s instructions, fitted a d-logger to record the fault when it next occurred. Over the next 3 days I recorded 5 incidents of the fault. Hyundai have now replaced the fuel injectors. I still have the d-logger fitted ... but so far I haven’t been able to replicate the issue. I’m testing it with all fuel grades to make sure the issue isn’t hidden.
Persist with the dealer, post all your experience on the i30 forum. Don’t take no or we don’t know for an answer. Make sure the salesman and dealer principal are aware also

what sort of problems?

Since update last week will now give directions and take you to your destination, which for the past 13 months couldn’t do. The only problem still existing is it cannot get the lanes correct. Especially where there is a slip lane tells you that your lane is ending and merge right (as though your in the slip lane) if you were to take notice you would most times be head on with traffic going in opposite direction.

You can run the radio without the engine. Don’t put your foot on the brake, just press start and accessories will come on which includes the radio.

I haven't got the 2017 model so not sure my answer will help. You can check out the photos at practicalmotoring.com.au/our-cars/week-4-hyundai-i30-sr-long-term-test/. This shows the rear seat cushions in position to allow the rear backrests to lay flat. The reviewer states "if the driver is, say, six feet tall you definitely won’t be able to have that section of the rear seat down completely flat." Being of average height I've never had that problem! Along the front lower edge of each rear seat cushion there is a loop that you have to pull firmly. This allows you to lift the seat cushion upwards then forwards so that it rests in the foot well. Each rear backrest then folds forward by lifting a lever located along the top of the backrest next to the side wall. To return the seats to their original position simply reverse the process. The seat cushions will click back so they are secure. Not sure if I've explained that very well. Hope it helps! Maybe go to a car dealer and ask them to demonstrate?

Thanks so much for your response. It is helpful. I have been to 3 dealers - non of which who knew that the back seat folded in the manner it does. When I called Hyundai - I was basically blocked from speaking to anyone who may have been able to help. Surprisingly enough - I still bought the Hyundai i30 !! I'm always astounded that businesses still survive in spite of their glaring shortcomings and I have just contributed to that support !!!!!

Anyway, moving on. I very much appreciate the time you spent in responding to my query.

I have a 2015 model and its cutting out also. The other day we were driving at 100km/h and it just turned off. Is this what you mean?

No, it didn’t cut out while I was driving thank goodness that’s dangerous . It just wouldn’t start, they have fixed it they replaced the coil in the starter motor, fingers crossed this has fixed the problem .

Hi Steve, I’ve found this as well with a couple of destinations I’ve put in. I haven’t found a way to override it and I know sometimes it needs updating and even when the GPS is updated it still won’t find the all address but some. =)

Apart from Apple Car Play/Android that you can connect also, I have found the SatNav to be one of the best I have ever used. Have you spoken to/been shown by the Dealer's Service Department? They are usually very helpful. What's not working properly?

Yes I am experiencing problems with my sat nav. I have an i30SR premium 2017 model. I put in an address and if you didn’t know where you were going you would never find your destination. Just had an update and to be honest it is worse. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Yes, I have had problems too, but just had the 2018 update and it has improved, can now find addresses. Still have problems with lanes as when there is a slip lane nearby tells you to get into right hand lane as lane ending( not even in slip lane) and in many cases if you did change as directed you would be head on traffic. I have a Navman that is about 15 years old and has absolutely perfect navigation and correct lane guidance. It has taken 13 months to get this far, but still not right.
