Summary

The 2017 Hyundai H1 can suffer from several issues. The most serious are related to the EGR valve and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) in the diesel engine configurations, which can lead to significant performance problems. Transmission issues, especially rough shifting, also represent a concern. Other issues like suspension sagging, electrical system malfunctions, sliding door problems, and air conditioning faults can lead to inconvenience and repair costs. While none of these are universally reported, pre-purchase inspections focusing on these areas are highly recommended. The cost of repairs can vary significantly, with engine and transmission work potentially being the most expensive.
