"This car is a headache"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

It stalls on a cold starst at 75 degrees outside. Has already had a new alternator, spark plugs and wires, fuel pump and still has the problem, along with at least 2 others at this dealership!

General comments?

This car has been in the shop for 3 weeks out of the 4 months I have owned it. I am not happy with it!

I think that your dealers don't know anything about repairing cars.//...!!!

I've had mine 9 months and have had the alternator and an axle replaced. Thank the lord for warranties.

Hyundai pays for the repairs, while you pay for the car.

I suppose people have learned nothing from the EXCEL Fiasco, and neither has Hyundai (Hope you understand nothing is drivable and inexpensive)...get it?

I have had mine for 82,000 miles with absolutely no problems. I also know many other owners of the same vehicle who have had no problems. I believe this to be a situation like many others, there are many good ones, and a few bad ones. I am glad to have not had your bad luck.

I've had my 1999 Accent GL for almost 5 years now with 130,000km on it and I've never had any problems with it. It's been a great starter car for me. Cheap, reliable and great on gas.

If you have never had a problem after owning one of these I doubt you actually drive it at all every car develops problems eventually if it is driven as a primary car my accent seems to think that I enjoy spending money on it.

I have a 99 Accent I bought new, It has been the best car I have ever owned. I did all the routine stuff and it has been great.

The car now has 101k I had to replace the alternator at 99 but that is it.

At 101k I have noticed something not right with the tranny and am having that checked, runs fine in the city, but out on the highway around 50 it revs like it is not going into overdrive.

All in all it has been a great car and has been very reliable. It really has been the best car I have ever owned, whether all Accents are this good I do not know, but I know mine has been great.

I hope the tranny is something minor, I sure would like to keep the car, but with over 100k on it sure do not want to be spending a fortune with high miles.
