Re: Hyundai Fluidic Verna VTVT SX (O) 2 Years and 30,000 Kms

Guys, today morning when i started my car I noticed that the Airbag(SRS) indicator continuously ON.
I had similar problem an year back where the airbag malfunction light was always on.
I too had the airbag error light used to pop out randomly and then it went continuous after few days took it to ASS and identified to be issue with coil spring which was replaced under warranty.

One is the light indicator for auto dimming and camera view enabled. Other one is not an indicator but a light sensor, which sense the light on IVRM and IVRM gets darker/dims accordingly.

Hope I cleared your doubt.

Re: Hyundai Fluidic Verna VTVT SX (O) 2 Years and 30,000 Kms

well i have had the clock spring replaced as well, funny how most of us had it fail.
Anyways, few updates bout my car
its at 74,000 km now, dealer workshop says im mostly the first fluidic verna petrol owner to cross that much km (not sure how much its true)
engine is as smooth and punchy as ever, at idles if ac is off you wont know if the car is on or off.
Got my control arm, stabilizer bar and a rear suspension changed due to noises, now the other side needs to be changed.
Need to change my tires maybe go back to yokohama a drive r1

the car had an accident recently while it was parked.

Needed two doors to be replaced bonnet fender headlight fog light, was a huge bill but insurance cleared alot of it and even approved changing the other side headlight since there would be difference in dimness.
I should be upgrading next year so will either sell the verna or keep it as a second car, heart does not want to get rid of it, i love the engine and comforts big time.
Other then that there is a small rattle at times from within the dash but that started after a/c services maybe will get it sorted no other rattles noted besides steering which has a temporary fix of greasing your power steering motor.

I also had a small rattle within the dashboard. They fixed it by packing the gap between the dash and the front glass with foam :/ It's not really visible tho. the color of foam matches the color of dash. Not happy with their juggad but at least it works...

Re: Hyundai Fluidic Verna VTVT SX (O) 2 Years and 30,000 Kms

hey guys some sad update about the car.
yesterday i hit a pothole on the highway and the car started to loose control, tried braking but there was no feedback norfelt the car slowing down then i saw the car was going right to the divider i quickly turned left and the car over steered and started going in reverse and it the divider and overturned landing in incoming traffic road on the roof, managed to unbuckle my belts and open the door and get out of car folks came over and took me to a hospital, the only injuries i faced was a fractured collar bone and my friend just a minor cut on her fingers.
must say the amount i hate Hyundai's bumper quality, the car actually ended up saving my life and letting me walk away from it with just a fracture.
the car is now at the showroom being assessed and see if it will be written of or can be repairable and fit to drive again.
the car will be completing 5 years in sept and done 85600 km

Sad to see your car in this form. But happy that you're OK.

This is the car and your thread that inspired me to go for my Verna. I hope it gets repaired to original form.

It's a terrible sight indeed. Lucky you were and thank your stars buddy. With this type of damage, getting the car repaired won't be correct since it will never be able to drive in its original manner. There would be a difference in the ride for sure and no ASC can give a 100% perfect repair job on such damage. Best would be to write it off. Get well soon and drive safe!

Regards

Good to hear you are safe.
My take would be to get the car written off.Even though ASC claims to get it repaired the strength of the shell has been compromised.If you get a new shell not sure if the mech's at ASC could put together the car without any rattles . know you have good memories associated with the car and with very minor injury you had suffered you might have a soft side in keeping the car.

Sir , very glad that you are doing well. My take would be to write off the car and get a new ride , as the ASC guys cannot get the car free from rattles .
