2002 Hyundai Accent review from North America
"This car SUCKS!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ever since I purchased the car it has not "felt" right. It idles too high - even when I'm in park. Just recently I was at a stop light at a complete stop & the car was idling between 3,000 & 4,000 RPM's and started moving forward even though I have my foot on the break. When I got to my destination I put it in park and the motor was reving as if I was going 80 miles per hour. When I called the dealer he told me he knew what the problem was even before I had finished describing it - so apparently, they've had a lot of people bring their cars in for the same problem. He told me it was a sensor, but I am afraid it is the transmission.
General comments?
This car might be cheap, but having to pay $200.00 for a sensor all the time or possibly having to replace the transmission makes this car SO NOT WORTH IT!
