2000 Hyundai Accent L review from North America
"It is a crackerjack box car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The windshield wipers quit working.
The alternator makes a squeaking noise.
The tape deck does not work properly all of the time.
The gears grind due to a bad clutch system (apparently this is a common problem).
The driver's sun visor pops off its mount.
General comments?
This must be one of the worst manufactured automobiles on the market today. Only 12,000 miles and the thing is falling apart. The dealers are great about the warranty, but the manufacturer is not. I have not been able to get the manufacturer to authorize repairs on my clutch, even though the dealer knows what is wrong.
