5 year warranty ended Disappointment

[sunbeamti]

My 5 year warranty on my i30n ended in June and I was a little disappointed to get a mail to say so did the free Blulink subscription!
I also noted that I never got a roadside assistance email as normal after my annual Hyundai service. So s of yet unsure if I am covered.

When I bought the car brand new in 2021 i purchased a 3 year service plan and again when this ran out another 3 years thinking there would be a replacement car by then. NO not Ioniq 5N something more normal i30 sized. I was encouraged to read that Hyundai chairman hinted there would be a replacement for the current i30n sometime in 2027, but who knows.

Well my grouse is that despite using Hyundai dealership and Hyundai service plan, I / we get no added benefits or am I missing something. I was expecting a continued free Blulink / My Hyundai subscription and continued roadside assistance if needed.

What's everyone's opinion? Is anyone else in the same position.

I was fully aware that blue link was only 'free' during the first 5 years, that's no suprise.

Recovery, not all manufacturers offer this and are decreasingly so! , Heck some don't even wash your car any more during the service! It's all about cost cutting

In reality, whilst annoying, these are quite small things in the grand scheme of things and no different from any other manufacture! Road side recovery can be handled separately for not a huge amount of you look in the right places, and blue link.... Nice to have imho but not essential nor would I fully miss it!

Not having a direct, comparable replacement is an pain, although not unlike other manufactures! Renault have stopped their RS brand, Nissan have not produced a hot hatch in decades, Volkswagen are dropping the R (although prices are ridiculous).... At least Hyundai are looking at ways to keep the hot hatch alive, even if there is nothing right now.
