2000 Hyundai Accent GL review from North America
"Junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought a 2000 Hyundai Accent Gl brand new. This was the beginning of a horror show that still has not ended.
The car has only 34k on it. Here is a list of problems:
Water pump.
Power steering pump.
Hinges on the hood snapped causing the hood to crinkle.
Cable that controls the rear window tangled up, causing the window not to work.
Horn died!
Map sensor went at 26k.
Car vibrates when idling in drive.
Don't let Hyundai's 10 year 100,000 mile get you into buying one of their autos. Cheap parts, cheap junk cars.
General comments?
Hyundai makes some of the cheapest cars to purchase, but some of the most expensive to repair! Be warned, look for another auto make.
