Hyundai Australia

Purchased a new Hyundai i45 premium 2.4 GDI in 2011. Much was made about the 5 year unlimited warranty. What the brochure and dealer fail to tell you is that this is really a 'limited warranty'. Actual warranty on paint is only 1 year, on electronic accessories 3 years. Probably more exceptions but my experience is limited to the above.

After 3 years Hyundai Australia offer absolutely zero support for the inbuilt navigation and were absolutely no help with mapping updates and technical issues.

Worse still is the paint work on 4 year old "Premium" car that is garaged and exceptionally well cared for. The clear started breaking down and flaking off at 3 years and the dealer and HMCA are not prepared to do anything for me. At the time of purchase, I was sold on the idea of a 'protection package' that was supposed to protect my investment by ensuring the finish of the both the exterior and interior remained 'like new' for years to come.

What an all round farce. We have owned 3 hyundai cars but will never buy another. This Premium model has had many issues and is a total disappointment.
