Poor Reliability & Build Quality
Despite the dealership's best efforts, the car is problematic & unreliable due to the way it was manufactured. Although we've had this car for only 14 months (13,600 miles), we've had to bring it to the dealership 6 times for recalls and other problems. This translates to a material problem every other month. For example, the transmission had to be replaced 1.5 months ago. A couple of weeks later, a flashing red engine light came on. I gave a photo of the red engine light to the dealership to prove it came on. Staff told us there are no "false positives" with warning lights, a flashing red engine light always indicates a serious problem, and the car should not be driven. However, after staff performed extensive diagnostic work, no corrective action was authorized by Hyundai even though staff believed, based on the symptoms and their experience with these cars, the injectors needed to be replaced. Given the car's track record, especially given its most recent problem that was not resolved, we don't feel safe driving our car on trips outside of the immediate area.
