Hyundai Ioniq 5

Yes but mostly that deals with 30 days, there is a repair or replace clause within reasonable time but was the legal definition of reasonable tim

Maybe get @unkel advise he was successful with legal proceedings with tesla so maybe could go a similar avenue

Not very helpful now, but you left it way too late. You should have been assertive early on. The sale of goods act (1980) applies here. The seller must repair, replace or refund. They get to choose. And they usually choose in that order. But if the repair isn't forthcoming, you can demand to go to the next step

There are no clear regulatlons or instructions for this, but if a car was off the road for more than a couple of weeks (I presume you got a loaner car of equal status or your rental car fully paid for?) I would send a first email, asking when the car can be expected to be fixed. Another email a week later, complaining it is taking very long and you need the car fixed within a week. A week later stating the deadline has passed and give them another week to start legal action, and then start. But this is not a hard and fast rule and often you get more done by showing up in person, making phone calls, gettin Hyundai Ireland involved. See above about the small claims court, it doesn't apply unfortunately and you would have to employ a solicitor.

Not really. See my above answer. The more expensive the item, the more likely the seller will opt to repair. In case of a Penney's t-shirt, repair is never chosen obviously as it will cost them 10 times as much as just replacing it. There is no guidance in the law about how long the seller can take for the process of repair. That's why a history of email exchanges with the buyer increasingly putting pressure and putting up deadlines is critical for when it goes legal

Nice one. You didn't say, so I wrongly presumed you hadn't. Time for an ultimate deadline with legal threat now then if you haven't already done so. Solicitors letter after that deadline passes. 90% chance it should be enough for them to bend the knee. If not, unfortunately it would have to go to court.

The choice between repair, replace or refund is agreed between the seller and buyer. It's not the sellers choice what happens.

They have had the chance to repair it, the repair didn't work and the law is the 1st repair should be permanent. The next step is refund or replace. What it costs the seller isn't the consumers problem.

Nowhere does it mention the seller has a choice in what happens. But if you reject the sellers offer to repair an item you will need a good reason when you take it further.

This is interesting. I always though that any new issues where considered as a new case.

Yeah fair enough.

we cancelled the one through official Hyundai dealer in Galway for 340 Euro. they said it was general check over plus pollen filter - nothing about brake fluid. They also tried to give me the “it needs to be official Hyundai parts for the warranty line” as a reason for the 340

I just cancelled it and we booked in somewhere else for 195 so hopefully they go through the required list and use the required parts!

Did you see an itemised bill? Thats crazy money for a 10 minute job.

They were looking for 60 notes for wiper blades and 50 for the pollen filter plus fitting.

Needless to say I declined their kind offer. Did both the following week for a little under €40

I have this issue since nearly the very beginning with scheduled charging, and also the time changes for no reason. Dealer saying it's no big deal and software update has a fix, same story a few times now. They promise they will have properly researched it before next service and will resolve, but I can see already from research online that it's party of the ICCU issue and they haven't a clue how to fix it. Most worryingly, the auto hold randomly turns off. We have both had cars in the past with auto hold and were used to it always being on, but many times now in the Ioniq 5, the auto hold turned off without pressing the button and we nearly had a tip over it. One day I looked up at last second to realise car was about to hit wall in car park. We both really enjoy the Ioniq 5 for many reasons but there's about 4 major problems we have had that dealer keeps pretending they are sorting out and we've got nowhere with and there's a year gone

What's the best quotes people have got on new tyres?

Our 30km service is saying they're below thread and quoting 360 each!

It is the sellers choice but they can only use each one once and then move to another R

I have been quoted 180 a tyre for Goodyear or similar,

I also got a quoted for less than 100 a tyre for Ceat tyres, a brand I have never heard of and wouldn't take a chance on.

Also I have over 50k done and my tyres are still ok.

So I would go to an independent tyre shop for a quote.

They could have sang nice songs to it for all I cared, I just want a stamp on my service logbook as per warranty. All that really needs replacing is pollen filters.

Was in line with other dealers regards price (a little higher) but was the easiest and nearest.

Yeah to be fair - the guys that did it said it didn't need to be done as part of 30k service - they said it should be changed every 2 years rather than as part of certain km requirement.

Great thanks.

I think we found Pirelli for about 235 euro per tyre fitted so we'll do some shopping around.

In general - any tyres which should be as good as the Michelin and any others that should be avoided?
