Hello,

I purchased a new i30 elite a couple of months ago and have generally been pretty happy except for one thing. A couple of weeks after getting the car the shift lock release button popped out by itself. At the one month service they advised they had to order a new button in, and it was replaced a week or so after the service.

The same thing happened again a week after it was supposedly replaced the first time.

Has anyone else had similar problems with this button popping out and did you have issues getting it fixed?

Cheers!

You may want to prompt them to think about what else holds the button in place. They may need to replace something different. :goodjob:

I took it back a couple of weeks ago. They've now ordered a new cover for it instead. Was supposed to take 2 weeks for the part to come in but haven't heard anything yet.

Fingers crossed it arrives soon and it's the correct part this time which fixes the problem.
