2000 Hyundai Accent GL review from North America
"Not Impressed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First week of ownership, my oil seal was leaking.
My check engine light came on during the second month of ownership ("it was just a computer problem").
The paint is pealing on my bumper.
This car has been recalled 4 times (if I'm not mistaken).
Dealer service is awful and warranty is misleading.
Many things were not covered under this that "should have been".
Transmission jumps a lot an it is getting worse.
After one year there was black smoke coming out of my air conditioner vents (what was this, I don't know, but it cost me $300 to fix out of pocket)
Brakes wear very fast.
General comments?
It is okay to get you here and there. If you drive a lot do not by this car because you will always be going to the dealer.
I would not buy another.
