however with only 1000 miles on the clock,
1st the lady who askes what your command is, has stopped talking ?
2nd the radio changes channel to whatever IT likes?
3rd now the display plays up, showing 2/3 of the radio channel 1/3 of the clock?
4th and now ive noticed big gaps have appeared under the roof rails ?

Good to have warranty protection. 

[Dazzler]

  Rip the roof rails off and belt the radio with them ...

[Asterix]

Hmm, that's not what you would expect from a new car...

Thanks for the constructive comment, Dazz,  I hadn't thought of that
not what I had expected from a new car.
Nor the comment from the main dealer,
"quote"     "don't complain mate,I wish I could stop my missus talking"

Sorry to read of your poor start with what you will regard as a superb car once the problems are sorted.

Mine has been fine with no warranty work required. I have a minor niggle with the front parking system you can read about in another thread here - but I have come to accept they are working as intended.

Can you post a photo of the roof rail problem - I can't see any gaps on mine and I am wondering just where I should be looking.

[paul]

tried to put picture but it says file too big ?

Have a read of this

Something looks odd there.

The dealer needs a size 12 boot up the clacker, that's a warranty job for sure....

The roof bars on my Tourer do not exactly follow the car roof line towards the front of the car. I too was a little surprised when I first noticed it – but it is obviously a design feature because the plastic trim is moulded to the same profile.

When I took my car to the dealers to have a direction indicator beeper fitted (I am deaf and cannot hear the turn indicators clicking) I had a look at other tourers on their lot – and they were all the same.

[eye30]

obviously a design feature

See you have picked up dealer speak....

[paul]

Design feature "rowlocks" they don't bloody fit, they have a black rubber seal to stop the water going under the rails,
now the water will run under the rail and on to the fixings, I just hope they don't  leak in to the roof lining and rust prematurely.
IF they ere designed like it, WHY is the gap under mine twice the size of yours 
handy as I can tie stuff to the roof by passing the rope under the bars.

[Eureka]

I might have a look at some Aussie Gds and see if they suffer from the same affliction.  It doesn't look good.

Wouldn't surprise me if the Aussie GD tourers are the same, they do come from the same euro factory after all!

[tohis]

I had to go looking mine, and there really are gaps in both sides!    What a nice Christmas present...

Looks like it's time to do my first warranty claim. My dealer was chosen as the best Hyundai dealer of Finland in 2013, however I guess that goes only for the sales department. I'm yet to see if their service department does their job as good, especially in case of warranty claim when the customer is not to be charged.

[Doggie 1]

Good luck.
My experience in Oz is sales =  , service = 

[paul]

Well that's 3 members with the same problem as me, looks like it is a common problem with the tourer,
lets hope Hyundai sort it out, and not with a tin of evostick lol

[Doggie 1]

The value of a forum.

[tohis]

My car was booked in today for looking those roof bars, and they ended up ordering new ones for me. The mechanic told me those bars are attached by six bolts, but there is wider gap between the bolts where it's warped out (duh!). I understood there's some sort of eccentric bolt at the front end, which is meant to tighten the bar from sticking out, but the mechanic was unable to tighten it any more to fix the problem. There were two new GD wagons at the dealer's showroom, and the roof bars in them were OK.

Now I can just guess how long it will take before getting new bars, and whether the problem will then stay away or not. First they must have the warranty claim approved by the importer company, before ordering the bars from who-knows-how-far-away. That may take up to several weeks before I hear from them again.

[asathorny]

Lets hope you start the new year all fixed up and happy 

[jarissimo]

Same here. I have had it 6months now and those wasnt like that when i bought it.

I will call to the dealer tomorrow, those need to get fixed.

[Asterix]

Hi jarissimo

Yeah, I wouldn't be having a bar of it ..

3 members with the same problem, in 2 cold countries. Could the bars be too long.

And there was me thinking things expanded in the heat
and shrunk in the cold ?

[Phil №❶]

The metal in the car has a greater coefficient of expansion / contraction than the bars, due to different alloy components.

so with the heater on in the car and the bars outside in the cold = the bars should be smaller
