Common Problem

Steering Issues
One of the recurring issues reported by owners of the 2019/2020 Hyundai i30N is related to steering problems. Some drivers have experienced a "dead zone" where the car tends to curve in one direction, making it difficult to keep straight on long roads. This issue seems to be linked to problems with the steering rack, which has been a topic of concern among several users.
Start-Up Problems
Another common problem involves start-up issues, particularly after the initial cold start sequence. This has been attributed to problems with the stock fuel lines, as the i30N uses the same fuel tanks and lines as the standard i30, which may not be optimal for direct-injected engines. Some owners have opted for aftermarket solutions to address this issue.
Sunroof and Headliner Noises
For models equipped with a sunroof, there are reports of noise or cracking sounds from the headliner area, especially when driving over bumps. This issue seems to be more pronounced in colder weather and has been recognized by Hyundai, though fixing it under warranty can be challenging. Some users have attempted to fix these noises themselves using automotive tape to pack out panels.
General Reliability and Other Concerns
Overall, the i30N is considered a reliable vehicle, with some users reporting no major issues even after extensive use. However, there are mentions of paint maintenance challenges and potential spark plug failures that could leave the car stranded. Additionally, some manual transmission models have experienced issues with smooth shifting between certain gears.
Considerations for Potential Buyers
While the i30N has its set of common issues, many of these can be addressed under warranty. Prospective buyers should ensure that any recalls or known issues have been resolved before purchasing, especially if considering a used model. Additionally, opting for models without a sunroof might avoid some of the noise-related problems.
