AB_Alan Great Value and comfort March 10, 2019 Limited with Navi
Overall Score
Original owner, 124000km. For me this is a great city car, maneuverable, quick off the line up 50km (not even close to tire shredding but quick enough to beat the sleepy driver beside you). Easy on gas and a dream to park. It doesn't like the highway due to small engine and shortish wheelbase. 100Km/h is its happy place. Good traction in slippery conditions. Interior is comfortable and has held up well for 7 years. Maintenance has been very good. $.06 / km (all in). I would buy one again and I have recommended it to many others. Follow the maintenance schedule and you will have a very reliable car.

On certain vehicles, the brake pedal stopper pad material could deteriorate over time and allow the stop lamp switch plunger to remain extended when the brake pedal is released. This could result in the stop lamps illuminating continuously, which would result in following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions. Additionally, it could result in activation of the engine management system’s brake pedal override feature, the illumination of the traction control warning lamp, and/or the ability to move the shift lever without depressing the brake pedal, which could result in unintended vehicle movement. These conditions could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake pedal stopper pad.

On certain vehicles operated in areas of heavy road salt usage (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador), road salt can collect in the outboard portion of the front lower control arm and may result in internal corrosion leading to thinning of the steel in the lower control arms. In severe cases, the corrosion may progress to the point where the lower control arm's upper and lower panels become perforated. A perforated front lower control arm may fracture between its ball joint attachment and the forward and rearward pivot attachments to the chassis. This could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front lower control arms. Should the control arms not require replacement, drainage holes will be added, as well as treatment with rust-proofing material to arrest the corrosion process.

On certain vehicles, the stop lamp switch may have been incorrectly installed during vehicle assembly. This could prevent proper brake lamp operation. Failure of the brake lamps to illuminate when the brakes are applied may result in the following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury or death. A malfunction of the switch may also cause the brake lamps to remain illuminated when the brake pedal is released. Additionally, a faulty switch may affect the operation of the brake-transmission shift interlock on automatic transmission-equipped vehicles so that the transmission shifter would not be able to be shifted out of PARK position. It may also cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) light to illuminate, and it may not deactivate the cruise control when the brake pedal is depressed.

On certain vehicles, spilled liquid seeping through the console opening for the parking brake lever could contaminate the airbag control module connector that is located under the center console. This could result in an airbag Warning Light illumination. Should the owner decide not have the airbag system serviced at the time, it may affect the driver & passenger frontal airbags and prevent airbag deployment during a crash. Non-deployment of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) airbags increases the risk of personal injuries or death in certain crash conditions. Correction: Dealers will install a protective cover over the airbag control module connector.

On certain vehicles, the fuel pump may fail. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel pump sub-assembly.

On certain vehicles, the inner tie rod assemblies may crack and eventually break. Such a failure would result in separation of a tie rod from the steering rack, causing a loss of steering control which could result in a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the steering rack assembly.

On certain non- ABS vehicles located in Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland, after sustained exposure to temperatures below -30 degrees Celsius, the power brake booster diaphragm may lose elasticity. After the first application following a sustained period of non-operation at temperatures below -30 degrees Celsius, the reduced elasticity of the diaphragm prevents the brake booster vacuum valve from fully closing. Therefore, the booster is unable to replenish vacuum and braking assist is reduced. The brakes operate, but require higher than normal brake pedal application effort, which may result in increased stopping distances. Normal brake booster operation returns as the brake booster diaphragm becomes warmer, approximately 10 minutes after the engine is started. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake booster assembly.

On certain vehicles, a fuel vapour tube hose clamp may not be positioned properly. The spring-type hose clamp contains ears that may be squeezed together with a tool to increase the diameter of the clamp to allow it to be installed on the vapour tube hose. Hyundai's specification requires the vapour tube hose clamp ears to not be directed toward the fuel tank. If a vehicle contains a vapour tube hose clamp that is mispositioned so one of its ears is facing toward the fuel tank and that vehicle is involved in a severe high speed crash, the damage to the vehicle may cause the mispositioned clamp ear to damage the fuel tank and fuel spillage may occur. Fuel spillage in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire. Correction: Dealer will inspect the position of the vapour tube hose clamp ears and will correctly position the clamp, if necessary.

On certain vehicles, the fuel tank assembly valve may not close properly. If a vehicle with a fuel tank assembly valve that is not properly closed were to roll over, fuel spillage could occur. Fuel spillage in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire. Correction: Dealer will install an additional fuel tank assembly valve.

On certain vehicles, the rear brake tubes may contact the steering gear box mounting brackets resulting in rear brake tube wear and corrosion. Severe rear brake tube wear and corrosion may result in brake fluid leakage reducing braking capability. Correction: Dealer will reposition the rear brake tubes, install clips to control the position of the tubes and apply anti-corrosion material where contact with the steering gear box mounting brackets may have occurred.

Certain vehicles may experience intermittent low speed engine stalling. This may occur if the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor electrical signal is interrupted as a result of engine vibration transmitted to the MAF Sensor connector wiring harness. Intermittent low speed engine stalling may result in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the MAF Sensor connector and a portion of the wiring harness to incorporate a new relief loop in the harness to reduce the vibration that may be transmitted to the sensor connector.
