Time to file this thread under “Can’t be helped”. Move on, nothing to see here.

Too close to the truth huh? You went there expecting a free repair and have suggested you MAY purchase another car if you got it. You didn't get the response you wanted and withdrew loyalty that didnt exist in the first place.

Bit like the "I expect free loan car petrol when my Kia is in for work" thread.

Didn't threaten anything. As we normally buy new, pointed out this as a negative. Was the first dealer, who said it was a common fault. Wasn't me looking at getting it replaced even. was the wife that went in. I just happened to be in my office when Napier rang her. They would be interested in our purchasing of a hybrid Subaru, as a EV or hybrid. This is what is next on the list.

The next on your list should be the key fob instead of crying about it on here. $300 should be small change to a new car buyer as yourself.

You do realise that this key fob is going to reflect on us NOT buying yadda yadda yadda

Already bought one, earlier today.

Still not a threat. A point for future reference, we will mark this negatively.

A bit different where a dealer said "it's a common fault" Reflects on their quality of production. Which their pamphlets expel the virtue of their quality assurance.
May pay for some of you to browse Hyundai's literature.

lol. I guess hes not going to buy another one of those either after been asked to pay for the petrol that he used. He might be running out of car brands soon as they will all be on his banned list.

So not loyal to FORD either? Even though they replaced your transmission after its warranty had run out.

Then why not selling off at a profit & buy another new Ford?
LoL @ their trusted Ford dealer salesman seeing them drive by in a hiundi

Oh stop nit picking. Since the Falcon we have bought a new Ranger.
Ford know, why and the reason is purely sentimental for the wife. Hence why we haven't on sold it. More than likely pass onto one of the kids, same as the Rav.

LOL, missed the part about "retirement gift"
Won't be my problem. He's a Holden fan, his choice, although he doesn't know he's getting it.
Also talked with a lot of friends and colleagues that have them. One who had transmission problems at around 20,000km. He said he would still buy one. He has 2 Rangers and 2 Colorado's. Prefers to drive the Holden.

I'm going to be the odd one out here. I don't think that a key should be described as a consumable. If the keys consumable what about the associated lock. Given the history of the OP's car I think the key has been badly designed. In fact from what I have seen most of those "popout" keys are far too flimsy. If they were sufficiently strong there wouldn't be a plethora of replacement shells available on the net. If the manufacturer of the key thought it was going to break they would be supplying replacement shells but oops they don't. In that case I think it could be argued at the DT that the manufacturer believed that the key would last the life of the car. If you think about it there are millions of component parts available from the manufacturer for their products. Why don't they supply key shells?

"you do realise this key fob is going to reflect on us NOT buying another Hyundai car. Now not worried about the cost, even that I can jerry fix it for a couple of dollars, but it is costing them a likely purchase of a future car from us. No, we don't WANT Hyundai to pay for it. Can fix it with a number of compounds for $2-$10 myself. The natural inclination of Hyundai to refer to "out of warranty" without looking at the possible windfall of "here, we will see what we can do" Lol, there was NO demanding. (just a reminder it would affect the purchase, or not, of a car from them) etc etc etc. Not worried about it at all, but have made waves with the dealer, the local agent, back to where the car was bought, to their head office, and a manager in Napier, cool story bro

See where you are coming from but after what was eight years? how that key was treated comes into play to surely. How does the car salesman, the dealer, head office or who ever know how it was treated, maybe FiL was in a habit of carrying it around everywhere for that eight years extended?

Well people do get sucked in by advertising. Hyundai is and always has been mediocre quality at best, I'd never buy one, they're better than Daewoo product but still cheap kimchee being sold for more than what they should be, there is a strange delusion out there that they are some kind of equally good alternative to the best Japanese brands they ain't.
