The air bag light recently came on for no reason.
The clutch went at 20,000 miles.
I bought a nissan sentra with 30,000 miles. I drove until 120,000 miles and never had a problem with the clutch. Considering that this is a hydraulic clutch in this car, if this keeps happening I will spend a small fortune on clutches. This Hyundai is not the first manual car I owned and I haven't been rough on the clutch. I just read another review where an Accent owner had their clutch changed at 40,000. The dealer told me when I bought the car that the clutch should be good for around 80,000 miles.
I bought a 2004 Accent GS with the 5-speed for my job as a courier; I put ~300KM on my car every day 5-6 days/week for work and another 20-100KM/day on my days off. I've currently got 63,000KM on the car (bought approximately 10 months ago) and the clutch is as responsive as ever. I only just flushed the clutch fluid when it became dark (black) about 1000KMs ago.
My Hyundai Accent refused to shift during the first winter I owned it. It was a very cold snap of -30C for a few weeks. Took it back to the dealer and after a t-fluid change, it was back to its responsive self. Two years later, I've had no other problems with the clutch or transmission.
-30c?!? That's live -70f. That's ridiculous, no vehicle was ever manufactured to run in that condition. Anti-freeze will freeze before that! Brake fluid (dot 3) freezes at that temperature. The fact that the car started is remarkable in itself.
Haha obviously the person who commented above is not Canadian.
-30 C is only -22 F, and yes all cars should run at that temperature. 99% of them still work fine at -60 F. You just make sure you use synthetics and light grades...no problem.
