1996 Hyundai Accent review from North America

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Bought used, 14,000 miles. Lease car previously. Within seven months took car in three times because driver door window came off track, last time dealer put in new regulator.

Warranty ran out at 36,000 miles at 37,200 miles front passenger window came off track and wouldn't roll up or down. Got no satisfaction from dealer initially. While turning corner at 20-25mph window "fell" inside door, still would not rull up or down. Was told by one of the service employees that it was a common complaint of Hyundai owners. Still have not got window fixed. Waiting for dealer to get part and he wants me to pay $90.00 labor to fix a manufacturer's problem; one that existed prior to my warranty running out. Remember, car is only two years old and this is the fourth time a window has come off the window regulator.

Also, car's automatic transmission stalled at red light last week. Did not move until I put it in park and then into drive again and then acted like it wouldn't go.

General comments?

I am disappointed in the dealer where I bought the car and I am not sure I would ever buy another Hyundai from anyone.
