2002 Hyundai Accent GSi review from North America
"Poor quality followed by poor service"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver door will not close or open properly. Lock will not disengage.
Car has a loud "thunk" when shifting from reverse to drive, even at a full stop.
Engine warning light constantly comes on and stays on.
Car bogs down and will not go over 40kms per hour. Smells like something is burning.
Gear shift button sticks.
Front seats go off track and will not slide to adjust seat.
Air flow adjustment shifts over by itself.
Fuel consumption has greatly increased.
General comments?
Car looks and handles nicely, but in general is very quickly falling apart.
Lots of interior "rattles."
