Nothings better than a spare wheel.
I understand the reason to save space in the trunk, but maybe it should be optional before buying the car. I would pay extra for a spare tire and pay more for a full size spare.
In the case of the hybrids you would end up filling your trunk with the spare, there is no "under the trunk" space, that is where the battery is. Unfortunately, Hyundai isn't the only manufacturer eliminating spares, the removal of the weight helps them meet the miles per gallon requirements.
@@putnammonroe718 true
Eliminates weight and leaves yo stranded on the side of the road. Way to go Hyundai!
That kit is absolutely useless. Except for one small puncture in the thread, other hazards require towing. No substitute for a spare tire. Just screams CHEAP . Shame on you, Hyundai! 😠
It's about emissions not cheapness. Santa Fe has a spare with base 2.5 but when you get the higher trim 2.5t you get the mobility kit
Blame the Biden administration forcing strict MPG ratings on automakers
I just tried mine and nothing even a happened. I have a nail in the tread. This thing is useless! Now I'm stuck with a completely flat tire and no way to move the car without a tow.
@@lefthanded5473 yeah, so our grandkids can have air, how rude!
I used mine on a giant bolt puncture and it kept me inflated for 2 weeks and worked great!
Having a spare tire is so much more practical.... as I am currently finding out today... thanks Hyundai lol
Just found this out today too 😂
Bring back the spare tire! Or at least give an option to the buyer. Better yet provide both a tire and an inflation kit. My salesman (accidentally or conveniently) left out any info on the lack of a spare tire when I purchased my new 2022 Tucson. Either way I felt a bit a bit duped. In the end, this is really more about cost savings to Hyundai (and all other car manufacturers that have chosen to go this route) than it is to the consumer. Fuel economy savings are minuscule at best. Ultimately, nothing beats peace of mind when you're stranded on a country road 250 mi from the nearest Hyundai dealership. I guess I'll be purchasing a spare tire and a jack. Thanks, Hyundai!
I thought the same. But not room for spare
Same feelings.
From what I have been told, once the tire has this sealant inside, it cannot be repaired by the traditional internal plugging. The sealant is temporary repair and is useless on many punctures. I guess Hyundai is saving weight and money by deleting the spare tire or donut, and the jack. It means that many flats will require a flat bed back to a dealer and a major inconvenience to the customer, plus loss of the vehicle if it occurs when the service department is closed.
I think that's for tire plugs not interior sealant. I think it has something to do with using the spike to enlarge the hole to make room for a plug which screws up the band in side the tire
It is the first time I have a car without reserve tyre and with a Mobility Kit. I confess I am a bit nervous to go on vacation this way. I miss the days when it was standard procedure to deliver a car with a proper reserve tyre, not an emergency one, and the necessary tools.
I had a 2018 Tucson that for some reason attracted every nail and screw for a 10 mile radius around my car.
I had a ton of flat tires caused by such debris... the internal tire pressure gage would show almost no pressure, I'd check the tire...
They were always drivable... not sitting on the rim.
I had a spare in the 2018 Tucson but never needed to change the tire... they were always drivable to the repair shop.
I now have a 2023 Tucson Hybrid with no spare... im going to assume (fingers crossed) I still have run-flat tires.
@@wolfshanze5980 Hyundai tires are not "run flat". That is a different issue. My Hyundai tires are regular tires, no spare, bottle of pressurized goop if I get a flat.
Hyundai also may charge you $100-$200 to replace the gunk, depending on the country you live in. then if the Inflation valve (the valve that lets you know the pressure of your tyre whilst driving) contacts the gunk, they there is another $100 for replacement. I put together my own spare tyre.
On top of the inconvenience and sometimes total fail of this kit, I called Hyundai Roadside Service. They wouldn't tow me to my tire dealer, only to the car dealer. Incredible.
I just did this whole thing! THANK YOU for this video!!!!!
We're glad you found this helpful!
I sure hope it works I'm a rural Gramma, diy, if it works, how long will it hold up, I wonder, and I hear the tire can't be patched after it has sealant in it? One time repair, not cheap to buy a replacement canister, not economical, when you weigh it with potential towing, seal failing, tire replacement, and buying a 200.00 canister again. I'd prefer more basic, solid security, and paying a few cents more in petrol is nothing compared to peace of mind
My wife had a side wall puncture on a rear tire on a Friday evening during rush hour. This kit would not work so the tow driver had to call a flat bed which was a 90 minute wait in the dark on a busy highway. Once back home, I had to remove the tire and leave car on a jack stand and use another car to bring the bad tire to a tire shop and have it replaced. What a complete fail on Hyundai part to save $175 on not including the spare. Lucky the car was under 3 years old, so Hyundai roadside assistance paid entire bill but what an inconvenience.
I rather have the spare tire instead of these.
If the sealant hasn't expired then if you have a small puncture, and if it works, you still have to replace the sealant for a couple hundred bucks..
Hyundai has a large section of the auto market for Obvious reasons of price points and LONG warranties (compared to Totota and GM) but I agree with the other comments absolutely. My WIFES NEW 23 Elantra Limited hybrid came with a DONUT and I still bought a full size rim and spare for her (so she has two spares). I just bought a 23 Sonata Hybrid and NO donut no spare just mobility kit. What did I do? Just purchased a full size IDENTICAL machined rim from HM (Hubcap Haven in MN) and full size spare tire. I'm currently purchasing a small jack. No substitute for immediate road side assistance (YOU or ME) and no one is going to use a silly tire mobility kit with tons if restrictions. The minute Hyundai sends surveys I'll reply to them the same way
I almost pulled the trigger on a new Santa Fe until I discovered the lack of a spare tire. Ridiculous! Toyota Highlander just went to the top of my list. Are you listening Hyundai?
99% of car owners are not going to change a tire on the side of the road.
Had a nightmare without the spare tyre.
I own i30 kombi Mild hybrid (which dostn't have spare)
During the trip my tire got burtsted. The only option is there tow the vehicle for near by unauthorised service center (due to holiday) who ripped us.
My friend picked me and my family. Just think about the situation that there is no cell network and winter season.
@0:57, don't get it. So if you find a nail, don't take it out and still use the kit? Isn't this dangerous?
Yes, don't take it out. In most cases, nails seal the hole if let in place.
I just had this happen to me, I did not realize they had a can of high-tech fix-a-flat in the trunk. What a waste. Once you use this, you must replace the tire. They also do not give you the wrench part (only the socket) for the nut lock, so I could not even change the tire if I were to borrow a jack from my husbands car. So Hyundai just guaranteed three things: 1 - I have to have the car taken to a hyundai dealer, 2 - I have to replace the whole tire, and 3 - I won't be buying a hyundai again. I was not even given the option of purchasing the tire accessory kit (costs $194) with the jack and emergency parts that I would need to replace the tire if it was taken to another garage.
99% of car owners are not going to change a tire on the side of the road.
I was seriously considering purchasing a Tucson... but when I realized no spare tire, I have eliminated Hyundai on my list. Having had the experience of a side wall blowout, I want to know that I have a spare.
A tire mobility kit is a bad idea if you are stuck in the middle of nowhere with no phone signals then you are completely F&*&. And if it's nighttime, you get the idea. Even though you are able to call a roadside assistant, it will still be a long time before they get to you. I want to buy a Hyundai Tucson, but not including a tire is a deal breaker for me. I am looking for a car with a spare tire. Good luck.
Really good video...
It makes absolute sense for them to put the mobility kit in your trunk instead of a spare. Let me explain. Hyundai also sells spare tires in their shop for roughly $500 without tools. If they put a spare in your trunk, how do they sell you this kit! If they put this kit in your trunk, the listing price is lower, gas millage higher, trunk space also higher, and they might just sell you a spare for $500 later. It's a no brainer they did what they did.
How long he held down the push to start button triggered me.
I would find a compact spare and a jack somewhere.
😎
i was hoping for an april fools joke
So was I.
I rather get a car that comes with a spare tire. I don't have all that time to keep checking the tire pressure.
Can use this without the sealant to fill up the tires if low?
Yes you can. I also use it for filling up tyres.
What if u don't have the compressor but have the sealant bottle....can I use a regular air tank
The compressor comes with the car.
No spare is a deal breaker for me living rural with dirt roads .
This is so cheap not to have a spare tire.
My Hyundai Ioniq PHEV lacks a spare tire compartment to make room for the special battery under the trunk, but the standard hybrid still has space I believe.
This is just how my car is and although it’s unfortunate, I’m still happy with my car overall. That being said, I still want a proper puncture repair kit and compressor to bring along instead of whatever this sealant stuff is…
It is unclear if the tire itself can be used after using the kit or if all the gunk used to seal the tire renders the tire useless beyond reaching a repair shop. I can just see the dealership selling you a new tire every time you use the kit. Is this the case?
Please reach out to your local authorized Hyundai dealership for this information. Thank you for reaching out. ^cc
@@hyundai In that this an official answer and it was not able to say some tires may be fine after use of the kit, I conclude no tires will be usable after use of the kit. That does not speak well of Hyundai. Correct me if that is not the case.
@@hyundai Is this a big secret, or are you just ashamed by the answer? I think I may be done with ever buying a Hyundai or Kia after my current lease is up. This is my 4th one. 2 Sonatas, a Sportage and currrent Forte. The Forte is only one that has that crap instead of a spare.
Not true... they'll sell you a new tire... AND A NEW KIT (because you used the goop).
4:45 Are you kidding? There is no sealant that's going to fix a quarter in hole!
Just got stranded in the middle of the road waiting for a flat bed because my hyundai has this dumbass kit. Bring back the spare! I’m late to a meeting because I can’t patch up the tire with the kit the puncture is too large.
Automakers should be required by LAW to give a real spare tire kit with their cars. This mobility is an unacceptable replacement and Hyundai should be ashamed.
as of 2019 about 1/3 of the cars sold, across multiple brands, had no spare, so it isn't just Hyundai.
The time it took to writes these comments I could of changed a tire
Pointless kit, keep the traditional spare tire.
In an effort to increase gas mileage AKA In an effort to squeeze cost and increase profits
Useless, the amount it takes you to change a tire is a lot faster than doing that whole process. Ridiculous. C'mon Hyundai don't cheap out on spare tire.
USELESS. It just ruined my tire. If i never put in the seal they couldve just patched it. Now its patched and the sealant is stuck inside of the tire and just ruined a perfectly good patchable tire. Thank you. What a waste of all the money i couldve avoided spending. And just been able to spend it on a spare on top of that.
Not planning on buying a hyundai or kia after this. What a disaster.
99% of car owners are not going to change a tire on the side of the road.
In 40 years or so I've changed a tire on the side of the road at least three times that I remember.
It's not necessarily about you changing the tire but to have one in the car for roadside assistance to do so. Once the 'free' roadside assistance runs out, you have to pay an annual fee. If I want to go with another service (e.g. CAA), will they be carrying around the required type of spare in their roadside truck?
How many people change their spare tire anyways? I carry a can of slime from Canadian Tire and a plug in air pressure kit. If this does not work then I would contact roadside assistance. Why should anyone especially most women drivers go out and change a tire anyways. Those days are gone. I showed my wife how to use the slime and the pump in emergency purposes only. If not call roadside. Too easy.
But "women can do anything a man can do just as well - if not better" - Pres. Joe Biden.
@@redbaron07
I am not sure that is a correct assessment. Most women believe that they can do everything that a man can do but that is not true. How many women play hockey at the NHL level. NONE.
Some women I would agree with you on certain jobs only. That was not my point. I will not even change my own tires as it is just as cheap and quicker with CAA.
@@burlyboy50 You should call for the service, absolutely! But you may have to wait a while since they may prioritize calls from damsels in distress, I mean strong independent women, who paid the same as you did.
If you are a city slicker this makes sense. In the back country, or any country area for that matter, it may be a matter of hours before they arrive if it's even possible. I know of many gravel roads where you wouldn't be able to get roadside assistance. I'd prefer to also save my tires if possible, tires are expensive.
edit: it's kind of ironic that I dont even own a hyundai, but I did get a hyundai branded compressor from a friend, so here I am
Oh my I got a flat no spare really sucks. . .thanx Hyundai looks like I have to pay 150 .00 for a tow. So upset at this car..plus I have to go out and buy a spare tire in case it happens again. I'm 54 and not in the best shape ...this has been a total nightmare so far
Mobility kit didn't even work .....the sealant wouldn't come out and the air compressor didn't even seem to blow any air out...car was out of service one week..
