2002 Hyundai Accent GSI review from North America
"Not worth the money spent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 20k had to replace the timing chain assembly.
At 36k 1. Had to replace all the spark plugs.
2. Was told that there was evidence of moisture in #3 cylinder chamber.
At 39k had to replace the fuel sending unit.
Fuel consumption has greatly increased over the last 10k.
A loud ticking sound when running, I think the timing chain assembly needs replacing again.
General comments?
This car is a lemon waiting to happen.
I have unsatisfactory service at dealership.
The fuel economy is very poor for a 4 Cly considering the manufacturer was bragging about 49 mpg on the highway NOT!
