2000 Hyundai Accent GS review from North America
"Low performance and bad service"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have owned this car for a year and I am extremely disappointed. I have been having transmission problems and the dealer refuses to do anything about it. They added a little transmission fluid and told me that the problem was fixed.
My Accent makes a loud crashing noise when I am driving on inclines or declines. For example, it feels like the transmission disengages when I am coming off an on ramp. It is scary and I believe that the transmission needs work. However, the service personel tell me they do not have time for a test drive to try to reproduce the problem.
I will never buy a car from Hyundai again.
