I was told today because of recall 200, Hyundai wants buy back our cars

Is that max 10% of purchase price because of being in PA, or is that just what Hyundai is saying how much they will deduct? If so, this would be really great for me since my mileage is like 35k and in CA, they calculate mileage/120k, so it'd be closer to 30% for me.

 

Sadly I own one of these and I have already had the motor replaced.
The people running these corporations:
it’s all about quarterly profits and their bonuses. They will do absolutely everything to get the share price up.
I am sure there will be lots of foot dragging to replace batteries or buy back thousands of vehicles.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we are still talking about this next year

Look they are not stupid. Here in Canada, once your at 60k or 3yrs, whichever comes first, your SOL as fir arbitration. Come next Feb is my 3yrs and I'm already at 40,000km, so I will be at their mercy with whatever they want to do. And I'm not confident these batteries will show up by then. Look the biggest drawback in EV production is the availability of batteries. Does one thing , that they just decided to replace the batteries , I don't think so. Now it would have been brilliant that they would have already sourced the batteries and are already installing them, which they are not. Priority for batteries will goto brand new cars that they will profit from, not loosing money on immediately installing batteries at a loss.
Hyundai, I know your listening and your minions are reading these boards.
Well guess what , my future vehicles will possibly at this stage will not be Hyundai and thats from a long loyal Hyundai owner of numerous Hyundai cars. Nor will I be praising the Hyundai brand . My wife will not drive it and it's basically her vehicle.

 

Recalls supercede warranties.

 

I sure hope so but I don't trust corporations because they have gobs of money to pay fancy lawyers to find loopholes and screw the little guy.
I'm not feeling that confident at the rate they are dragging their heels.
Other then some bricked cars, I haven't read of any that have had the battery replaced under the recall. Surely they didn't just go, okay we are gonna replace the battery let's put a battery order in now.

 

Mattsburgh, I bought my Kona from a MD dealer but live in OR. Which lemon law is applicable: MD or OR?

 

DasMeister, this is interesting. Where do you live?

 

That would be my question, too. I bought my 2019 Ultimate in Baltimore, MD, and drove it home to Florida. It was never registered in MD, only in FL. Does the FL lemon law apply to me, or the MD one?

 

Actually it might be your choice. If FL and MD are like most other states, you would qualify in FL because the car is registered there as well as MD because that's where you bought the car.

Assume FL is easier for you, but you should be able to get the answers by looking at the state's websites.

 

We have booked a sit down with our dealer to go over what the situation is and what our options are. I will be quizzing them on timeline for battery replacement and get them to give us a concrete idea on a buyback. If any other Canadian folks have any specific questions, let me know. I'm sure there'll be things Ill want to know too.

I’m going next tuesday at the dealer for them to check if the car is set at max 80%. Dealer is Hyundai Longueil Quebec Canada. I’ll let you know if I get more information that was not reported in this thread.

 

And my Kona is a early 2019 with 30k km

 

My dealer yesterday knew nothing about possible timelines for replacement. He did however confirm that they are buying a lift table in anticipation of doing the battery swaps at some point.

 

I initiated the buyback process.. Had to e-mail proof of completion of campaign P29.. They will get back to me tomorrow..

 

Do you know what the time frame is?

I would prefer not to have to rent a car or be without one. It may take me a few weeks to locate and purchase a replacement vehicle. Is there a time limit for setting up the appointment?

 

My service guy whined the blues that they gotta spend the money on a special lift and can't see why they just can't use a couple of Jack's to do it. That definitely did not give me a soft and fuzzy feeling.
And I'm suppose to feel confident about this stuff.
Gotta do a long trip tm and let's see how many times, the level 3 charger will stop and i will have to reconnect it. If it happens again, this time I will be taking pics.

 

I have a 2020 and spoke with Hyundai customer care a few days ago. Even though my car falls into the time period of faulty batteries being built in 2019 and that it had received two recalls to mitigate battery fires it is currently not under any recall, specifically 200.

I was told I could drive and charge the car as intended and park inside if I would like too. I have zero confidence in this information.
