Peace of junk
had my 2012 petrol I load with 130,000 Km towed to my my mechanic because of funny noises, and the tow truck driver diagnosed the problem without even starting the motor, told me i loads are junk and i will need a new motor. Sad thing he was right, obviously its a common fault . The stitching in the seats came apart fixed on warranty, roof rack mounting strip broke, they would not cover by warranty, clutch went at 90,000Km (my Hiace has over 300,00 on origional clutch ) seat belts are frayed, would not pass road worthy, passenger seat belt is...Read more
impossible to use . If you are a tradie look at the sliding door openings, the doors dont slide all the way back, and the safety cage covers 25% of the opening ( could not fit the draws from my old hiace in the I Load) Sliding door tracks have massive bulges that protrude into the van making shelving difficult to maximize ( I have lots of parts boxes ) Over all Disappointing would never buy another. If its price buy an LVD and take it to the tip after warranty, we are a disposable societySimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Hyundai iLoad Diesel problems
I am freaking out. I have read all of these reviews, mostly negative and costing a fortune for new motors etc-$13-17K! Even when the vans have been serviced as per the log book by Hyundai!! I believe there exists enough angst for a class action against Hyundai as many have said they had prior knowledge of their injector/turbo problems. you should all get together. OR stand out the front of the dealer where you bought it with a big sign telling your story. Print all of these stories to hand out. Call your local newspaper. I own a 2011 iLoad die...Read more
sel that I have babied along. I only use it for camping. It has done only 30k and after reading all of these horror stories I am thinking of selling it. I have had no problems yet but they wanted $250 to fix the map reading light above the rear vision mirror!Purchased in May 2021 at Hyundai Dealers for $35,000.00.

Hyundai iload
I am just reading here about your guys turbo problems and engine sizes problems and oil changes every 5000km... and how bad is Hyundai... man did you ever drive Lexus or Toyota boring car? Call taxi and enjoy trip with with the squeak plastic and noise tyres... But let’s talking about turbo engines. Better get turbo diesel then turbo petrol why? Turbo petrol gets more heat on turbo propeller then turbo diesel because diesel is just cooler running engine that is why you have problem get the engine during the winter more difficult to the working ...Read more
temperature what is around 90C. The turbo any turbo never will seal oil properly because the are not rubber seals there are just metal o rings the shaft is a little bit loose in the bearings,why. Because the turbo have tu turn and run smoothly from minus 20 C up to 110C imagine in some countries is that cold in winter that large temperature is on one part as turbo. Every turbo has income oil tru 6-8mm! -pipe does it mean you can not put mineral oil in to turbo engine. Many of those pipes run next to the exhaust manifold what make them crazy hot and can be easily plug with any oil slug or will build slug in that oil pipe directly and less oil will come to the engine and the turbo will be sized. This is oil - turbo problem will call it heart attack. Now what happens if the turbo sized. The bearings will make bigger gap because there are just bronze bushes and not oil for couple of minutes the turbo spinning 30.000rpm and shaft getting more losse and the propeller hit the wall and the turbo stops but....... the propeller will brake on pieces and where the cast pieces go? Have gues ! Then when you stupid dumb Mechanik just take the old turbo out and replace it you don’t be surprised when after couple of km will sized the engine. Why? Because he/ you left the broken pieces right in front your intake valves and they can be stuck there for longer or they go right in tu the chamber. That is second miracle why “rubbish”Hyundai got sized engine. And now the main reason for all you guys. The first always leave the engine run when is cold for one minute. And always leave the engine run before you switch it off for minim one minute for all turbocharged engines! Why? Red hot propeller and gravity understand.? No? Ok you going on highway or in city say highway and now you see petrol station you take off from highway and stop on that pump turn engine off and go and have coffee or whatever but what is going on inside the engine? The propeller is red hot on petrol cars orange and after orange is only yellow colour before the cast gonna melt... Ok the propeller is red hot and stopped. The oil is starting to boil inside the 6mm oil pipe and starting building up more slug on the fences. The turbo actually the shaft in the turbo is bending by gravity force then you come back and start your engine again but the sound is different the propeller is very close tu the wall and is not in center anymore... hit the wall and you have to stop and think- damn this Hyundai broke down what a rubbish car... ha ha ok then...Purchased in January 2021.

great van but like most people
the van has been fantastic, serviced with synthetic oil every 15000kms for the last 3 months slight whistling from turbo and then it failed . ii have done about 170000kms with no problems i managed to get it home slowly as the turbo feels like it seized, will be fitting aftermarket turbo and will see how it goes fingers crossed. there was no sign the turbo was about to go apart from the whistling (which wasnt very loud ) oh yeah in the time i have owned it, one of the leaf springs cracked, i wouldn't have known apart from the sound it generated from sliding across and touching the body, the rest of the leafs were ok on that side.

Works well. Petrol model.
Bought new in June 2016. 2.4L Petrol manual. I've now got 22000 KLM's on it. So far it has been a great vehicle. I would have preferred the Auto Diesel but I couldn't justify the cost difference. The calculations showed that I would have broken even on fuel costs by the time the vehicle reaches 200K klm's but this did not include the extra servicing costs that would be incurred. If I buy another one, it will be the Auto Diesel mainly for the driving pleasure and to hell with the rational that I've adhered to all my 50 years of life.One can't t...Read more
ake the money with you after all! Goes well enough even towing a 8 x 5 trailer full loaded, even uphill. The gearing is rather quite tall which is great on the highway without a trailer on but with the trailer and a stiff headwind 4th sometimes is better. It will tow at 100K cruising just. It will however perform if you give it plenty of rev's but the fuel consumption will also rise steeply. Getting about 600 K per 70 L tank, without trailer, mainly on the highway. I love the spaciousness of the vehicle especially the cab. After a Mitsubishi Express, where half my shoulder was out the window in order to fit in, the cab on the Hyundai is comfortably wide enough to close the window and run the great A/C system with elbow room to move. Transmission is great with a silky smooth shift. The rear suspension is rather stiff unladen however this van does carry a ton very well.Even 200 kg in the back and it's much better. The revised key fob works a treat overcoming the issues people had before. Rear reversing camera is very much appreciated and a great safety feature. The large tyres and wide stance also give this vehicle great stability. The brakes are powerful enough even fully loaded with a unbraked trailer. The sound system is not very loud and I think the volume diminishes as you crank it up over time possibly due to the amplifier inside protecting itself. I fitted a separate aftermarket stand alone amplifier and some new speakers in the door and it improved it out of sight. The fuel flap release button on a couple of occasions failed to work but there is a emergency release handle in the back which opened it. Perhaps it just needs some grease or there is a loose connection. Anyone with any experience with this and the fix for it please contact me.The seating, power steering, electric windows, electric mirrors,great a/c, airbags, 4 star safety rating, quietness, media system, improved fuel economy compared to Mits Express all combine to make this a great van. I'd also like to give a shout out to Barton's Hyundai Brisbane, Phill in particular, for their great friendly non pushy service. Not like the stereo typical car salesman, very refreshing indeed. He even picked me up from Brisbane Airport, the car had a full tank of fuel, and genuine floor mats were thrown in for what was a good no trade price and certainly much cheaper, even after airfares and fuel costs, than what my local dealer could do the deal for in Townsville where they have no competition and do resort to using sales "tactics". Update on fuel door not opening sometimes. The wires that supply power to the actuator are too small. This device use 12 amps directly connected to the battery but only draws 8 amps at the harness. I had a large power wire there already for my amplifier and extra power sockets for camping so I connected a relay to drive the actuator. It now opens very strongly and the intermittent issues should be solved.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Good Van with some problums
I have had this van since 2013 and have 200,000km on it just done the injectors and turbo that cost me $6,000 to fix but considering this van has not had any of the services done on time this is pretty good. biggest fault i have had is the tyres keep scrubbing out and some suspension problems nether one Hyundai would admit to and fix, had found the front wheal Bearing was not fitted properly in the factory (not found by Hyundai even though they had checked the wheal bearing).
If Hyundai would look at complaints properly some bad feelings would...Read more

It just does everything it is supposed to and then some
Purchased new in 2011, This vehicle has been just remarkable. 135000k. Serviced regularly. Diesel manual, mainly city driving, all mechanical bits still original. Have had cruise control fitted, done trips Brisbane Adelaide, Brisbane Griffith, Brisbane Sydney. Excellent fuel economy and comfortable. When purchased the dealer stressed to have it service on time an that it would not be a bad idea to change the oil & oil filter between scheduled service. Done that. Now lining up for my 2nd one.

Terrible, Avoid iload, trash & dodgy company
Got second hand 2011 iload turbo diesel with 167,000km, seemed ok for 1st tank of fuel, got about 600km city driving.
Second tank just randomly died... got towed in to dealership- turbo disintegrated in engine so needed new engine & turbo (they kept it for over 1 month)
Has oil consumption issue & also acceleration issue (no power).
I can tell its not going to last long, had it for about 1.5 years & last few months its had really bad performance.
I think blow-by is to blame... from what I've learned about EGR valves its a wonder that oil ...Read more
catch cans do not come factory standard (built in obsolescence comes to mind) Since its so hard to reach the egr valve & it seems to be extremely important to have cleaned regularly to protect the turbo & also the intake manifold etc- so if they did have catch cans and/or easy access to EGR Hyundai wouldn't get as much profit from new engines etc. I regret choosing Hyundai, I don't think my business can survive whats just around the corner, don't even feel right selling on to someone else.Similar opinion?

Good van
Ideal van for our business, important to keep the services up to date, I have two diesels and both get serviced every 5,000-7,000 kms so that good oil is always up to the engine, oil is a lot cheaper than a new engine, driven properly, no thrashing, the iLoad will last a long time

Great van but needs looking after!
Drives like a car and has plenty of grunt, still pulls at 80ks! Really comfy inside not like other vans.
Downside is the common problems these vans are facing. My intercooler ruptured and started sucking oil back through it and sprayed onto the engine. The air flow filter/monitor is just not very good because it didn't pick up the leak. Also and you must stress this to your mechanic the diesel injectors need servicing every 40,000 kms as they have two washers(similar to o rings) that can come lose and then this allows carbon to build up on the...Read more

Waste of money
I thought it was a great car, I bought the 2009 manual diesel model off a bloke on car sales, it didn’t even last a year before the turbo went and the engine blew, it was going to cost 15-20k to get fixed so I had to get rid of it.

Hyundai iLoad Review
This is my second Hyundai iLoad. I traded my old 5 speed manual petrol for a 6 speed manual diesel.
The reversing camera is a terrific safety feature.
I find the AM radio has less interference and antenna relocated to the rear of the vehicle roof may have something to do with that. Nudge bar, rear bumper with step and cargo barrier are also nice options.
The redesigned key prevents less accidental locking and opening.
Two criticisms are they still don't have cruise control as an option with manual transmission, and fog lights are not an option either. These are not difficult, so why not offer them?

Lemon of a car
I purchased this vehicle just over 2 years ago and had nothing but problems, I paid $29,000 and have had the brakes done 3 times and continued to have problems with them, the turbo went last year and was replaced under warranty also the butterfly brackets replaced under warranty, one year later the engine has blown up and the turbo with an estimate of $15,000 to repair! no compensation so far from the dealership, I still owe $22,000 and run a small business which is suffering..I have gone to consumer affairs for help.
Don't buy cheap Korean cars always go Japanese.

Improvements needed !!!
Purchased my 2011 van in 2014 after reviewing other makes and paid for Extended Warranty (BEST DECISION EVER !!!).
Purchased the 2011 because of the bluetooth radio/phone due to work commitments. Was really impressed with the performance, space and features. Up until recently, believe the iLoad was my best buy after having a Hiace SBV.
Back end of 2017, the timing chain went (at approx 108,000 kms), which required the entire front end to come off to get access. Now at 114,000 kms the turbo has blown up. Mechanic said it is common for the tur...Read more

Hyundai Iload 2011 2.4 petrol
After driving the hiace it is no doubt more comfortable and safer with the bonnet, however the cargo area is very limited in length, the Bluetooth is excellent, don’t go near any hills they get very scared of them, I believe Hyundai have copied the old Toyota hiace SBV model .

Great van, worth the money
Great van to drive. Very powerful engine with great fuel economy. Usually get around 800km from a tank of fuel. Bit hard on the ride but it is a commercial van and is meant to carry load. Excellent warrant with the 5 year or 160,000km warranty. Only ever had to change the turbo intercooler as it had a crack which Hyundai replaced. Overall great for the money you pay.

Questions & Answers
janeasked
Has anyone else had problems with the paintwork on the bonnet, side panels etc bubbling & peeling off? Ours is a 2012 model (I think) & its been a problem for a few years now. We went back to the dealer a few years back, but because it was out of warranty, no interest was shown & no help offered. Ive seen a couple with similar problems & Im wondering if we should pursue it with Hyundai?
Thanks
