My wife has a new Accent...all because of me. Hope I purchased right altho we bought quickly when the Hyundai dealer gave us a price we weren't going to see with any other car including lifetime oil changes. Tried a Vibe & Yaris. Would have adored the extra Yaris MPG, but the extra thousands of dollars, the poor warranty & lack of 6 airbags put me off. Having some buyer's remorse because I never got as far as the Honda Fit or twin clutch Volkswagen dealers. But the Hyundai salesman was nice & I didn't want to risk running into a later 'hyped-up, buy it from me' salesman. My long ago purchased Plymouth Champ & Ford Festiva(still have it), were great. My 2007 Dodge Caliber also has been a v. positive car. Here's hoping the Accent will also keep us away from repair shops & visits to gas stations will be near as uncommon as a Yaris or Fit would have done.

| I own an '07 Accent hatchback. When I took it in to the dealer for the 15K service they told me it needed an alignment. I was surprised as I hadn't had any mishaps that might cause a problem, but told them to go ahead. They later informed me (after trying to charge me for a 4-wheel alignment) that they couldn't align the rear. I asked why not and they said that the Accent doesn't have the adjustments to align it in the rear. At that time they also said I needed four new tires. When I complained that I only had 16K on them they told me that Hyundai sends the cars from the factory with "crappy" tires. I have also had a problem with occasional rotten egg smell. I filed a claim recently through the BBB, but not getting anywhere. Any advice out there? | |

Replying to: backy (May 22, 2008 3:27 pm) The weird thing is I can't seem to find any other cases like mine. If it is true that the Hyundai Accent can't be aligned in the rear, how come there aren't other owners complaining about it?

Replying to: britchick (May 25, 2008 8:01 am) It could be a defect on this one car, which is why you don't hear of more cases. I've never heard of such a problem on any car. Also it could be that the problem really is fixable, but this particular dealer either doesn't know how to do it or doesn't care to do it. Have you talked with the dealer's service manager and sales manager yet? If so, have you talked with the Hyundai regional customer rep? That would be a good next step.
