i30 GD (2012-2016)

My 2013 is just out of warranty and the Xenon globe has gone and Hyundai want to charge me $410 to fix it.



I rang Hyundai Care and they weren’t helpful at all, saying I have to wear the cost. But the dealer told me they never see this happen with Xenon globes, especially when the car is still relatively new.

As of two days ago the airbag light is now also permanently on. The car has only done 89,000 km’s and is well taken care of.

Anyone know if they will fix the airbag issue for free given the car is just out of warranty and a safety concern?

My globe blew around that same time. If you look on the forums that's normal, of course Hyundai won't tell you that. My airbag light also came on, but it was under warranty so they had to fix it. If you contact fair trading and ask them where you stand in regards to a reasonable expectation of the airbag lasting longer that only 80000 KS, you may find that they have to fix it. Especially when you tell Hyundai that you are getting fair trading involved.

I have a 2012 GD i30 diesel and the boot won't open. Happened out of the blue. Tried spare remote. New batteries. Nothing works. Is there a way to open it from the inside? I can fold seats down and get access. I see a slot with an arrow and a pic of the tailgate up in the air. Do you slide a screw driver in direction of the arrow or something?

I have an I30 2015 model and the Multimedia display is unreadable during the day, even when its in the shade. Is this just a really bad design or is there a way to adjust the brightness?

Hi Davo,
There is an option to set the brightness to either day, night or an automatic mode in the 'display' option in the 'settings' section on screen, if you choose automatic mode it should always be the right brightness.

My hatch is jammed. Can hear the click but it won't open. Crawled through the back seat but can't even unlock it from the inside. Anyone else had this or could give some tips to try?

Ours is the same 2013 model. Hubbi took it to the Mechanic at his work today. He said the latch has seized. Ours opened from the inside. Airbag light is on, being repaired next week & tapping sound in motor on startup. All happened at the end of 5 year Warranty within the same couple of weeks. Starting to think the 2013 model is a lemon. Had a 2010 no issues at all & also have an I35 2015. We are having the airbag light which is from the steering wheel fixed at no cost.

same happened with my 2012 GD i30 diesel. Five year warranty expired in Dec 2017 so no longer covered. I've read about people getting something wedged in there, but mostly it seems the latches seize. Somebody recommended a good lube one you get it open to restore it to working. That's what I plan to do if I can just get the ruddy thing open.

Good day,

I have a 2013 Hyundai i30 6 speed manual. However, when I place the manual transmission into reverse I am getting a loud grinding noise sometimes. However, if I place the vehicle into reverse while the vehicle is turned off, it goes into reverse smoothly. Can you please tell me what is the issue here? I have change my master clutch cylinder and also my slave cylinder due to this issue and no solution.

I can’t help with this as I have an automatic. However it sounds like you may still just be in your warranty period so best to report it to your dealer soon and get it looked at.

I had feb 2016 model with CVT. It didnot give any problems. But is seems like the settings are not as smooth as for Toyota. I hated Mazda 323 2014 model.

Have had similar problems with a Getz radio .My mechanic took the radio out and put it back in . Had a bit of difficulty taking it out. He put it back in, and it worked. Said he had the same success a couple of times previously. Should it happen again, try never turn it off ( After having a second success again that is . Worked for me . Good luck .

I have a Hyundai i30 activex, when I turn the key in ignition the hyundai screen comes on which is fine, then the dash comes on is fine, but when the car starts the hyundai screen (where radio is and left of steering wheel) the screen goes black or it switches itself off and on. I did mention this every time I have car serviced and they even replaced the radio last year, thinking this will solve the problem. has anyone else has this issue with their Hyundai?

I've just purchased a 2013 i30 Accent and I've experienced spasmodic engine shut down when I'm slowing down to park or at traffic lights, the previous owner mentioned he had not experienced this problem since he bought it new and has clocked up 43000kl, it would be greatly appreciated if some guidance could offered as to what might be causing this to happen the fuel used has always been 91 & 98 super and the car schedule service has always been meticulously carried out to the letter by the Hyundai Dealership in Sth Morang Vic, your earliest reply would greatly appreciated due to obvious safety reasons. Regards Ken

Not sure why this question has come to me, so unfortunately as a young female driver, I have no idea. I have no experienced any such issues but diid buy mine brand new and during servicing I would get this fixed if it occurred.

Could be many thing (engine problem, fuel problem, spark plug or coil issue). I would be checking to see if its under warranty and take it to Hyundai

Hi Klaudia.
To be honest I haven’t noticed it as a problem. I guess because it’s at the back of the car I don’t notice it. Do you mean the camera screen stays on? If this is the case mine doesn’t do that. I’ll look next time I’m in my car and let you know.

As soon as mine leaves reverse the screen goes off the camera. I don’t know if there is a cap or not? I know mine was dirty so it’s obvious able to get mud on the lens.

Klaudia. No this must be normal as my cap take about 10 seconds to go back down so it’s all good.

Hi Sandra. Sorry i don't know why this is happening. Maybe go to your mechanic and see why its doing that. Or if under warranty go to your Hyundai dealer.

I have a MY14 i30 Elite. In the last 2 weeks my proximity key has started to fail intermittently viz. not unlocking/locking doors or, if it does unlock the doors the press start button doesn't work. My wife's key works fine. I'm thinking this is a battery issue with my key but wondering if there could be something else at play. Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated, please

I'm sure you've already worked it out but i can guarantee that the battery in the remote is flat.

@Adrian Thanks for the response. I tried a replacement battery & the problem continued, so I ended up with a $682 replacement fob, fortunately the car was still under warranty, from my local Hyundai Dealer.
