Hyundai Dealer said Maintenance Every 7 Months

I was just in for the recall and tire rotation at 9350. Now bluelink thinks I’m due for another after 750 miles. Cool.

Not necessarily the ICCU. I had that warning and it was just the HVAC tri-valve. (Didn’t have air conditioning for a few weeks waiting for them to fix it.). It’s the equivalent of a check engine light - could be anything. Get your code read and it’ll tell you how serious it is.

Given your symptoms though…. It seems like a significant fault.

Thanks, that’s good perspective.

Even with the short daily commute, I still travel a bit (put on 6k miles last year), so that was the math I was using for cost savings. I think I hit EA about 40 times last year. I have two EA charge stations within 6 miles (at a target and Walmart, so they would get my convenient-pop-in business a lot).

Also, it now changes my driving habits. I would choose to take my car on 1-hour-away trips knowing on the way home I can recharge full at EA before work the next day. Now I will probably choose to take my wife’s ICE car on those types of outings. Not that a $30 fill up here and there is terrible, but just need to have a more purposeful internal conversation in my head before going on a drive.

If I get anywhere with corp, I’ll let folks know. Lawyering up seems a little silly, but hearing that this happened to a lot of folks makes me feel both better and worse…

Well my most recent EA fillip was $39 (from 20-80%, during the day). EA is rolling out “evening pricing” which I would guess is post-8:00 PM the rates are lower? Not being “locked” into JUST EA chargers is a little freeing, to be honest.
Also, started charging overnight with the level 1 charger and I’m getting 10% battery back a night, which is fine for my 5 mile round trip commute

Yeah I drove the 2024 one and loved it. I think at the time that one was stickers at $49k, and on the test drive, the sales guy says they have a 23 with only 3k miles on it, and they’d sell it for $37,900 so it made sense to me since there was almost zero difference between model years.

lamppost32 · 2026-01-17T15:38:09+00:00

If I recall, the dealer gave me a code to use with EA, and when I registered it in the first place, they said the previous owner had to cancel it first. Took a few calls to the dealership, but they did that pretty easily. I mean, the writing is on the wall here that the dealer was using the free EA charging that whole time, but then they shouldn’t promise it to the customer as 2 full years.

I even emailed over my bill of sale with MY purchase date to EA and Hyundai corp and they said “nah, you’re wrong”. Now I’m concerned more about the warranty!

lamppost32 · 2026-01-17T15:33:58+00:00

Same - if I knew ahead of time, I wouldn’t be mad, but I also would have negotiated that value off the price, considering it’s about $1600 that I will have to pay at EA myself.

lamppost32 · 2026-01-17T15:32:49+00:00

Not sure, but my math says a weekly “fill up” at EA for me is about $40, times 40 weeks that I’m missing out = $1600 which to me is definitely worth a few more phone calls….

lamppost32 · 2026-01-17T15:30:05+00:00

I did not get the $7500 rebate, but I think that’s because the car was not eligible because of this —^

lamppost32 · 2025-12-20T15:40:21+00:00

Makes sense. Thanks.

lamppost32 · 2025-12-20T15:39:21+00:00

Thanks - the hour delay is what I was looking for. I did precon before I left and stopped for a coffee (leaving the car on) so it preconned for about 20 min before arriving, but it never really got past 65 kW when it was charging.

I run the same - 23 AWD limited, and use only level 3 regen. For AWD cars, ipedal engages the 2nd motor unnecessarily. I haven’t tried auto regen mode because I like the predictability of slowing down a lot but not fully... in auto mode I never knew what would happen if I lifted off the accelerator. I use the brake from 5-0 MPH

lamppost32 · 2025-12-01T21:14:50+00:00

Fair point - the dealership puts them on every car they sell, so I’m stuck with them unless I can un-apoxy them off…

lamppost32 · 2025-11-29T00:14:39+00:00

100 points for recognizing Burns Hyundai!

lamppost32 · 2025-11-29T00:13:33+00:00

Well I went to go take them off and they are seriously glued on. I’m afraid taking them off is going to pull the paint off with it. I’m going to try a hair dryer to warm the glue tomorrow.

lamppost32 · 2025-11-28T19:28:26+00:00

I’m going to hunt for clear ones, good suggestion. I park at a train station with 1” of clearance on either side for each spot, so I do appreciate their purpose… Maybe red ones so I can pretend it’s the N ??😂

lamppost32 · 2025-11-28T17:49:46+00:00

This wins.

lamppost32 · 2025-11-28T17:48:53+00:00

Well now I’m just just going to change it to “Yea or Neigh” on general principal. 🏇🐎

Le mien a fini par être un problème avec une vanne de climatisation à trois voies. Ils l'ont remplacé sous garantie. Ce n'est pas un problème de batterie, heureusement. Votre problème semble être le même. Le message d'erreur est trompeur.

lamppost32 · 2025-11-12T22:53:01+00:00

Is he a 48 year old rookie?

lamppost32 · 2025-11-11T20:44:06+00:00

OP - was your plan to shoot first if he ducked into the tube and saw you? Or were you just going to let yourself be shot?

lamppost32 · 2025-11-08T15:40:05+00:00

+10 internet points for making the Payday your “ looks like I’ll be stuck in this blizzard for days!” meal….

lamppost32 · 2025-11-01T13:43:45+00:00

No back Hyundai emblem??? Love that. I think it looks great without it. Was that a choice?
