I bought a brand Hyundai I10 in November last year. Everything was great - until the first 500km passed. My car has been back three times for clutch problems - the last time because the release bearing started whistling. Each time they "lubricate" the clutch cable or tighten it and all goes well for a few weeks and then it starts giving problems again. I have been told this is a problem with Hyundai I10 as they do not have a hydraulic clutch - but a cable clutch, which is not conducive to stop, drive conditions - and for which reason the car was bought in the first place! My husband has told me this will always be a problem with this vehicle and last time I took the car back, I was told sorry, but Management of Hyundai SA informed the dealership that no release bearings were to be replaced. My car has not yet even got 7000 kms on the clock. I am very worried what will the situation be when I reach 10000 or even 15000 kms! And already the clutch is feeling as if it has a "" when you tread the pedal especially after driving for a while in peak traffic. How can a car purchased for peak traffic not be able to handle stop, drive conditions.
