Well I should list the things that HAVEN'T gone wrong... but anyhow...
Brake failure.
Gearbox faulty.
Electrical nightmares!!!
Blew head gasket.
Leaking fuel tank.
Leaking fuel injectors.
Fuel pump, replaced.
Exhaust manifold fault.
Dodgy suspension.
Door locks.
Rattle noise in the engine.
Air conditioning unit died.
Wheel bearings, replaced.
Door/boot seals screwed, leaks galore!
O2 sensor, replaced.
Starter motor died.
Radiator leak.
Oil leaks from everywhere.
CV joints.
Started blowing smoke at 15000k's.
It's a wonder this car didn't blow up!!
I definitely would NOT recommend a Hyundai Excel to anyone, or any Hyundai for that matter... bloody Korean import pieces of crap.
The build quality is so poor, it's not funny... the car was falling apart by the time I got rid of it.
Not sure why I purchased the "built from melted margarine tubs" piece of rubbish... I should have kept my Nissan Skyline to be honest, didn't have 1 problem with it!
You got rid of a skyline and got that? you have go to be kidding. I think you are.
Mines done 100,000km of hard thrashing and although it does rattle a bit, I've had no problem... great car to get you from A to B with a little bit of zip...
My little excel runs really well. I've had no problems what so ever! It's only done 17,000 km but its all good. Ever thought you just got a dud car?
Regarding the last comment, it is pretty obvious that the poor guy got a dud car. That's precisely what he's complaining about and so would I too. It is up to the manufacturer to ensure that the products perform to specifications. OK!
