Hyundai
customer support overview

Hyundai Australia provides multiple ways for customers to get help, ensuring support across the ownership journey. Their Customer Care team is available by phone, email, and online form, while authorised dealerships handle servicing, warranty repairs, and day-to-day enquiries.

Hyundai has a strong reputation for value, long warranties, and helpful service. Many owners praise dealer staff for perks like loan cars and hassle-free warranty fixes, though some reviews highlight frustrations with communication or complex complaints.

Overall, Hyundai’s Customer Charter promises fair and efficient resolution in line with consumer rights.

Common
Hyundai
 customer issues and complaints

Owners most often raise these concerns:

  • Mechanical defects – engine failures, excessive oil use, or electrical faults (sometimes linked to recalls).

  • Warranty disputes – disagreements when parts fail just outside coverage or are labelled “wear and tear.”

  • Dealer service issues – variable experiences, from excellent to poor, with some problems unresolved after multiple visits.

  • Communication lapses – lack of updates on delayed repairs or deliveries.

  • Recall/parts delays – waiting weeks for recall parts or replacements due to shortages.

  • Sales/delivery complaints – delays in promised delivery dates or deposit refund issues.

While many issues are resolved under warranty or goodwill, persistent follow-up is often needed for complex cases.

 complaints submitted through Ajust

I contacted Hyundai on 20 May 2025 about a vehicle concern and left feeling dismissed and unsupported by staff who gave vague answers. The interaction left me frustrated and less trusting of the brand; I asked for an explanation and concrete steps Hyundai will take to improve customer service and to respond to me promptly. - Esterina

I reported an air conditioning fault (reg 062ZVT) about a month ago and waited weeks just for an inspection. Now I’m being told to return for parts confirmation and face up to another two or more weeks before warranty repairs — huge disruption for someone who’s owned three Hyundai i30s. I requested a replacement vehicle while repairs proceed. - Carris

I acted on an urgent recall notice I received in early November 2024 and booked the repair for 16 December, but the dealer said parts had to be ordered and they’re now waiting on Hyundai’s approval code. It’s January 2025 and I’m still waiting for the recall repair — this delay is unacceptable and I want a clear timeline. - Stewart

My car has had a persistent warning light and after three visits the branch still can’t diagnose it; they’ve replaced parts by process of elimination, charged time and caused disruption. I left multiple messages unanswered and was given a dirty, unsuitable loan car. I’m asking Hyundai to waive the unnecessary costs from this drawn-out process and fix the root issue. - Keryn

Contact FAQs

What’s the fastest way to get Hyundai Australia to respond to a customer support issue?

Answer: The fastest way is to contact Hyundai Customer Care directly by phone and follow up with a written record via email or the online form. Clear details and consistent follow-up help avoid delays and keep your case moving. If a dealer is involved, ask for the Service Manager to ensure accountability. Having your VIN, receipts and service history ready speeds up the process and reduces the back-and-forth.

How do I know if my Hyundai problem qualifies for a refund or replacement under consumer law?

Answer: You may be entitled to a refund or replacement if your vehicle has a major failure under Australian Consumer Law, even outside warranty. Mechanical defects, repeated failed repairs or safety issues often meet this threshold. Because there’s no change-of-mind return policy, documenting the fault and showing the impact on safety or use helps strengthen your claim when speaking to Hyundai or the dealer.

Why do Hyundai warranty or repair cases sometimes take so long to resolve?

Answer: Delays usually happen because dealers need approval from Hyundai, or due to parts shortages, especially for recalls or complex mechanical faults. Communication lapses also mean customers don’t always get updates as things progress. Keeping a paper trail, asking for a case number and requesting timeframes can help you stay informed and reduce unnecessary waiting.

What should I do if my Hyundai dealer keeps saying an issue is “wear and tear” but I disagree?

Answer: If you believe the fault isn’t normal wear and tear, escalate your concern to Hyundai Customer Care with evidence like service records, technician notes or photos. Warranty disputes are common, and providing clear proof helps Hyundai review the case more fairly. If the outcome still doesn’t feel right, consumer law gives you the right to escalate further to Fair Trading for an independent assessment.
