2002 Hyundai Accent review from North America
"The car is junk and unsafe"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Throttle sensor fixed four times in 2 yrs. The brakes (the drums and shoes were replaced) 2 times. Now the spark plugs keep burning out 1 at a time, 3 have so far. I was in an accident with this car and the airbag never deployed and it should have and also the seatbelt never held me back from hitting the steering wheel. I was sitting at a stop sign, minding my business (I seen the RPM 's revved a little higher, so I pushed harder on the brake) and all of a sudden my car lunged into the car ahead of me.
General comments?
I took the car off the road for good. I am afraid that it will either kill my family or someone else's and I do not want that. The company should take the cars off the road themselves.
