About two weeks ago, I finally received the $100 “Additional Compensation” (in the form of a pre-paid credit card). They took five years to do it, but better late than never, I suppose. I just recently had my odometer checked again and will receive nearly $58 more in the next two to three weeks.
I was given the option of choosing EITHER five years ago:
*Lifetime Reimbursement (this is the option I choose), which involved going to a Hyundai dealership on a regular basis to have my odometer read. I receive a pre-paid credit card for the amount I owe, plus a 15% convenience fee, based on my mileage. A $100 “Additional Compensation” was also promised in the original offer, and I recently received it. I kept all of the supporting documents. The “Additional Compensation” of $100 was always a part of the initial offer from the beginning; only, a number of lawsuits prevented it from being sent out for all these years. After a judge finally gave his authorization, payments started to be made at the end of 2019. The $100 is only available to individuals who selected the Lifetime Reimbursement option; if you initially chose the lump sum of $300, you will not get it. Strangely, despite always receiving my reimbursement payments on time, I had to wait five years for the “Additional Compensation.” At least everything has been settled now.
Samsung MPG Program
Approximately 600,000 Hyundai vehicles sold between 2010 and 2012 had their fuel economy estimates inflated due to testing procedures flaws at Hyundai’s facilities in Korea, the automaker said in November 2012. Hyundai launched the Hyundai MPG program after honestly apologizing and wanting to make things right. It’s so easy to use this fantastic service and get reimbursed.
To start with, check to see if your car was impacted by clicking here. The next step is to enter your VIN (vehicle identifying number; to obtain your VIN, look in your door jam or on your insurance card) into the reimbursement calculator if your car’s model is included on the list. When you fill out all the necessary information to register for the program, the reimbursement estimator will estimate your initial reimbursement. The next thing you should do is visit your neighborhood Hyundai service center so they can check your mileage. You don’t even need to make an appointment to see Eckert Hyundai; it will only take 10 to 15 minutes, and then you may leave. Hyundai will send you a card with your compensation in the mail. Hyundai’s FAQ page states that you will get your money back within 120 days of filing your claim, although most Eckert Hyundai clients get their money back in approximately a month. The company’s previous policy required shipping a new card with each claim filing, however this has since changed. The following time you wish to file a claim, simply visit your neighborhood Hyundai service center. They will file your mileage on your behalf, and a new card will be mailed to you.
A new option to get a one-time lump sum payout or to continue participating in the lifetime reimbursement program was just made available on December 23, 2013. The specifics of the one-time lump sum payment are still unknown. Owners who find it difficult to drive to a Hyundai service location will love this choice. According to preliminary calculations, the lifetime program will provide you with more money if you own your car for a longer period of time.

Hyundai has also implemented a scheme to refund owners of impacted vehicles for any increased fuel costs they have already incurred and will incur in the future.
What is the amount of the Hyundai mpg compensation?
A consumer watchdog complaint and an EPA probe forced Hyundai and Kia to recalculate the gas mileage of more than two dozen 2011, 2012, and 2013 models in November 2012. A program to recompense almost 900,000 owners with reloadable debit cards that took into account the difference in mileage with the cost of gas, plus 15 percent extra apology cash, was introduced after the associated Korean automakers admitted to EPA processes interpretation errors. But unlike Ford, which revised the C-gas Max’s mileage, the debit cards call for regular odometer inspections at dealers. The Michigan-based automaker paid out $325 and $550 to current C-Max lessees and owners, respectively.
Owners of the harmed Hyundai and Kia cars can now receive their own lump sum payment thanks to a recently resolved class-action case. Each impacted Hyundai and Kia will receive an average lump sum payment of $353 and $667, respectively. The carmaker says it leaves the following choices for owners:
- Accept the periodic payments on the debit-card scheme instead of the lump-sum payment for as long as you own the car.
- Accept the payout, less whatever money you have already received through the debit-card scheme.
- Accept a 1.5 times the lump sum dealership credit.
- Accept a credit for a new Hyundai or Kia equal to two times the lump payment.
What the dealership credit is used for is unknown. Neither brand’s representatives responded to our messages, so we don’t know the specifics for each model, although Hyundai indicated 2012 Elantra owners would receive $320.
Which payout is more logical? We did the math. The difference in fuel costs between the 2012 Elantra’s original EPA rating (33 mpg combined) and the restated figure (32 mpg), assuming you drive 12,000 miles annually and petrol costs $3.50 per gallon, comes to around $40 per year. You would receive a reimbursement from the debit-card program for that plus an additional 15%, or around $46 annually. Since the program lasts as long as you own the car (it cannot be transferred), in this case it would take around seven years to make back the lump sum payment. That’s a full year longer than the typical new-car owner keeps their vehicle. It makes little sense to decline the payout, especially if you leased your Hyundai, given that cash today is worth more than the same amount paid over time — you might invest it and earn a return.
Unless you obviously drive a lot. Consider a driver who drives that 2012 Elantra 25,000 miles a year. Hyundai’s debit-card program would spend around $76 annually at the same petrol price, resulting in a break-even point of just 3.4 years.
The reason Kia’s per-vehicle average ($667) is significantly higher is likely because well-known vehicles like the Soul witnessed greater combined mileage declines. Depending on the variant, the total EPA mileage for the 2012 and 2013 Soul decreased by 10 to 14 percent.
The court settlement, according to Hyundai and Kia, totals $395 million, though precise figures depend on how many owners participate in the lump-sum program. The automaker reportedly has more than $400 million available to settle claims, but it’s not clear if the EPA, which is still looking into Hyundai-Kia, would impose more civil fines.

— (Reuters) A $210 million nationwide class-action settlement for thousands of owners of Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Motors Corp. vehicles whose fuel economy ratings were overstated was reinstated by a U.S. appeals court.
What does the Hyundai warranty not cover?
Hyundai vehicles come with bumper-to-bumper warranties that last for five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. The coverage extends to manufacturing flaws that appear despite routine maintenance and operation of the vehicle. This is relevant to numerous chassis, electronic, interior, and outside components. The paint, which is protected for three years or 36,000 miles, is one of the exclusions.
For the first year or 12,000 miles, a few basic service adjustments, parts, and accessories are included. Routine maintenance tasks like replacing filters, wiper blades, burned-out bulbs, and fuses, as well as oil and other fluid changes, are not included. Additionally, the majority of warranty coverage may not apply to modified or damaged automobiles.
Is Hyundai the subject of a class action lawsuit?
A new class action lawsuit in Illinois filed against Kia and Hyundai makes this assertion.
Yvette Davis was proud of herself when she was finally able to purchase and claim ownership of this 2011 Hyundai Sonata after years of financial hardship.
On August 28, Davis’ pride was dashed when she went outside and saw that her automobile had been taken from in front of her house.
Davis started his investigation after filing a police report. She discovered that numerous class action lawsuits have been brought against Hyundai and Kia around the nation, arguing that the lack of an immobilizer is the reason the vehicles are so simple to steal.
Then CBS 2 discovered that one had recently been filed in federal court in Chicago for Illinois as well.
The lead attorney for the Illinois complaint and a dozen others, Ken McClain, alleges that Hyundai and Kia did not install the immobilizers to keep the cost of the vehicles low.
Kia and Hyundai have been aware for some time that not installing an immobilizer disadvantages their vehicles, according to McClain.
She is, nevertheless, among the fortunate. She recently received a letter informing her that her Sonata was being held in a city impound lot. Driveable despite damage.
But she doesn’t have any money to fix it because her sole insurance is liability. She was placed in touch with the class action lawsuit’s attorneys by CBS 2.
People who have had their Kias or Hyundais stolen are included in the lawsuits, according to McClain.
“We will be looking to have them reimbursed,” McClain said. “We will have different kinds of people with damages, including those who have had their cars taken.”
There are 13 claims against Kia and Hyundai, with McClain serving as the lead counsel in at least three of them. Both Hyundai and Kia were contacted by CBS 2 and asked for an interview or a response. Both stated that they do not speak on ongoing legal disputes.
Did Hyundai renew the warranty on the engine?
Extension of U.S. Warranty The warranty period will be extended to June 30, 2020 for Hyundai customers in the U.S. whose 5-year/60,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty or 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty expires between March and June 2020.
