Was looking at 2001 & 2002 Accents for my soon to be licensed daughter and was wondering what the original manufacturers warranty was. Also I was reading about additional warranty options as a settlement due to Hyundai mistating the horsepower ratings on some of the older Accents,anyone know anything about that? I called a Hyundai dealer to try to get warranty info but the salseman was a little vague,I think he was doing it to try to get me to stop by in person. Nearest dealer is 40 miles away,if they were closer I would stop and find out in person.

My 2000 Hyundai had the warranty active until recently, when I crossed 60,000 miles. A 2001 or 2002 Hyundai would still have at least a year left on the warranty, providing it has less than 60,000 miles on it. This doesn't cover the normal wear and tear items like brake pads, etc. But I had to get the oxygen sensor changed on mine, and the warranty covered it.

I've never done any work on the fuel tank system before, so i dont really know what sort of valve it has on it. Yeah i always make sure the cap's on tight as it'll go before it starts clicking. I really am stuck on this one...thanks for yr help all the same tho. |

Replying to: vthuppil (Jul 06, 2005 4:53 pm) I agree with the other reply, if ever anything expensive needs doin on yr car, ask if the mechanic will show you what he/she means. That way you know you'r not being ripped off. Tyres...well in the past my accents had pirelli's, toyo's and some tigar's, all of which cost £27 a piece, each wheel lasting about 10-15,000 miles...last year i got a set of Arrowspeeds which cost £15 a piece...i've done 8,000 miles since and i've had no problems what so ever. Most people got summit against these Goodyear made Arrowspeeds, because they're made in the third world using goodyears old moulds, old technology etc. (from the reviews i've read). Apparently they're a bit dodgey on the inside too, meaning problems when it comes to balencing them. But as i say, i been having no problems with them so far, they bin balenced perfectly, they're giving just the same performance / life span / reliability as the expensive Pirelli's i previously had. I''d reccomend them if you're looking for a well priced set of decent tyres anyway, even if everyone else on here would warn you off them lol. Well hope all goes well on yr trip, sure your car won't throw up any major problems, 2800 miles is nothing on the life of todays decent engines, long as you drive sensibly.

I have a 1998 Hyundai Accent that starts and runs for about 10 minutes and then it stalls and won't restart until it cools down. It does not appear to be overheating. I can keep the car running if I "power brake" it and keep the rpms over 2k. But once I let it idle after 10 minutes, it stalls. I had both Autozone (a sensor, I forget which one) and Procare (replace computer) diagnose and neither one of them made the correct diagnosis (I tried both). I would like to sell this car but really need to get this fixed first. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
