2002 Hyundai Accent from North America - Comments

Vehicle pulls to the right on highway driving.

Passenger side door lock sticks on both inside and outside making it difficult and often impossible to unlock the door.

Gas mileage has not been as good as originally listed for city driving on this vehicle. Highway gas mileage has been much better.

I purchased this vehicle based on the advertisements of "America's Best Warranty", however after being sent through the finance managers office at the dealership, I have strong apprehension of purchasing another Hyundai.

The advertisements make you believe that this vehicle comes with a 5 year/60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty which would lead you to believe that everything on the vehicle is covered. The finance manager tells you something different. He tells you that the Hyundai does not cover that many repairs and that you have to purchase separate coverage to be fully protected.

If this is the case why buy a Hyundai? Why not buy any vehicle if you have to spend additional money anyway to have the coverage and peace of mind.

Everyone knows that "Bumper to bumper" warranties never cover situations involving excessive wear or abuse of anything or "wear items". Wear items are tires, brakes, belts, clutches, etc. In Hyundai's case they also stipulate that a few items get less coverage such as the radio, A/C refrigerant, and other minor details. This warranty is just as good as what anyone else out there offers. Bumper-to-bumper warranty never means that you won't have to take of your own wiper blades, etc.

I hate to tell you this, but you got taken for a ride. The warranty IS standard (at least in the US) -you just happened to run into an unscrupulous dealer who tried (and unfortunately succeeded) in scamming you out of a buck. I'd report the dealer to Hyundai.

Hyundai's warranty is the best on the market, what do you want them to pay for your gas and oil changes also,, Go somewhere else and see if any of them things are covered... And for the second guy who commented " just so you know" the dealership gets paid from Hyundai for warranty work and its usually top dollar, warranty work is what keeps a lot of dealerships doors open. They don't make any extra money if the customer pays, please if your going to comment on something please have a little common sense!!!

First of all if it pulls to the right your car has either been in an accident, the suspension and alignment are off or you drive the hell out of your car.

This is a great little car- bring up your dissatisfaction with the company who sold it to you.
