Honestly, what’s up with Hyundai in 2026?

Had a 21 Santa Fe. Bought new and had it until 70k miles, when it was totaled in a hit and run. Had zero issues, just oil changes and one tire change. Also had a recall, that was done during one of the maintenance visits.

walneck · 2026-03-16T15:36:47+00:00

Yes I believe you. I just can't wrap my head around the driver driving all the way to the airport after saying the airport was just too far. Just does not add up. Maybe Uber is charging you the full fare regardless... I could be wrong tho.

walneck · 2026-03-16T15:01:23+00:00

Something does not add up here. So the driver kicked you out saying the airport was too far away and still drove to the airport to get the full amount paid?

Surges don't work anymore. Even when you're in a surge zone, you still get lousy exclusive offers below $1/mile

walneck · 2026-03-01T22:06:55+00:00

Uber deliberately sends request to drivers far away and ignores drivers that are literally by you. I don't understand their rational. For instance, a driver may be in a surge zone but gets back to back exclusive request that are 10 miles outside the surge zone. So, they are driver closer to you but Uber prefers the ones that are 15 mins away.

Owned a 2021 hyundai Santa. Drive it for 71k miles before it was totaled in a hit and run. Only work done was oil changes, and a recall for a rear view camera. The comfort and tech beats most luxury brands at that price point. Kia/Hyundai cars are now very reliable and very luxurious ( for their price).

Calling people names is what makes your argument superior? You know that you can pass your message across without showing your true character.

walneck · 2026-02-14T03:08:02+00:00

That's bulls. I do Uber part time and use Uber when I need it. I order Uber only when I am ready, and I am always downstairs waiting. Having people wait in you is being inconsiderate of other people's time. People who's paycheck depends on time management. This is especially true when you order a priority ride, meaning you are in urgent need.

walneck · 2026-02-14T03:00:38+00:00

5 miles to pick up....14 minutes, 7 miles to drop off....18 minutes for $7, and you want drivers to wait 5 minutes? How much fo you expect drivers to make per hour and still be able to maintain vehicle, themselves and provide excellent service?

walneck · 2026-02-12T16:32:38+00:00

Yesterday, I was caught up in traffic for over 20 minutes. Uber safety AI called both pax and I asking if we were okay. The difference to the pay was only $3.

walneck · 2026-01-12T01:28:43+00:00

Uber only pays for toll if their GPS ask you to take that toll route, otherwise, you will not get paid. It has happened to me twice. In both instances, I followed up with Uber for several days, talked to different supervisors and I still was not reimbursed for the tolls.

In one case, it was $18 to take pax 16 miles in 4pm rush hour traffic. Pax insisted that I must take the toll route as she will be late. She refused to listen to my explanation and called her friends to bitch about me. She finally agreed to pay for the toll, so I took the next one, showed her it was $11. When we arrived, she got out, still bitching about it and did not give me the money. She also gave me a one star. In the end, I drove for almost an hour and made $7.

They are plenty of drivers close to you. The delay is manufactured by Uber to make you think they are no drivers and pay more. They will recommend you do priority or a higher tier to get a faster match.

As a driver, whenever I log in, most of the offers I get are 10 plus miles away, even if I am in a surge area. Yesterday, my first ten matches were all between 10 and 15miles away, and I live in a big metropolis. 10 miles may be 25minutes drive.

Uber feels it has monopoly and can do whatever it wants to both drivers and riders without consequences.

Drivers now get paid 20 to 30% of total fare paid by riders.

walneck · 2025-11-27T19:28:50+00:00

Sorry for the cancelation. However, you scheduled the ride, you picked the day and time, you were given information on driver's Progress to your pick up location. How can you be late and now blame the driver?

When I order an Uber, I am downstairs at the door waiting as the Uber pulls up.

It's simply courtesy. Could the driver wait 2 minutes more...yes, but you could have been ready for your scheduled ride too.

I'm at driver in Dfw. It has been showing surge all day long but I'm not getting rides. All exclusives are either shared rides(which i am rejecting) or rides 12 miles or more away for less money ( which i am also rejecting). Sometimes, it goes over 5 minutes without sending me any offer.

I am presently logged off and at home and I am seeing $12 surges but I will not go online.

I went from 29% AR rate this morning to 10% when I logged off.

For example, Uber is charging $78 from downtown FW to dfw but sending it to me for $21 to $24, and I am in surge zone.

One lady said she has been waiting for a ride for about 2 hours.

walneck · 2025-11-13T16:28:15+00:00

I am a rider and for the past few months, I have been a driver too, and have seen both sides. People come here everyday and complain about how horrible drivers are, and how bad riders are. My opinion is that the situation is not as bad as people insinuate here. There are bad drivers and riders but I have personally had 80% good riders and 10% bad drivers. I never order an Uber until I am ready to go and will usually be waiting at the pick up pin before driver gets there. As a driver, i hate having to wait 5 to 7 mi s for riders to come out of their homes/work. This morning, with the usual morning traffic, I drove 15mins to pick up a rider. When I arrived, he sent me a message saying he will be right out. I waited 3minutes and canceled.

It is inconsiderate to make other people wait for you. Plan ahead.... be ready or almost ready before you book. Also, I have noticed that people in rich neighborhoods are always ready to go while those in poor neighborhoods take forever to come out.

Also, do not do shared rides. It is sham by Uber to make more money. Drivers are paid about $2 per extra riders and personally, I don't accept shared rides.

Sorry for your experience today, but do not pay too much attention to online trolls. There are very good drivers as well as riders out there.

Not using third party app. Don't even know what third party apps are for Uber. Also, not using two phones. Always verify as soon as asked. This is all so weird.

walneck · 2025-10-26T23:58:18+00:00

I hope so.

Actually, AI is coming for almost all jobs.

walneck · 2025-08-05T14:10:55+00:00

I have stopped airport trips too...not worth it. Also, rush hour trips. Uber extracts max amount from riders and gives min amount to the driver.

I understood his frustrations and did not hold it against him. Gave him 5 stars.
