2002 Hyundai Accent review from North America
"A city driving car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car will drive itself, it picks up speed when braking even on flat ground.
The transmission is slipping, it won't shift gears.
When starting the car it idles at 6 rpm then settles back down to 3 rpm.
When using the air conditioner the car loses about 20-30 miles in speed.
Has been taken in to two different dealers, niether of which can find anything wrong.
General comments?
On a normal basis this car handles great for in city driving, but on a car trip it acts up, after about 2 hours of straight use.
