Not Sure if Any1 else has encountered this issue. I bought a brand new Hyundai Accent Sport 2017 last year. Since day-1, i can feel the accelerator is too sensitive (comparing to my old Holden)... Whenever i try to level to a particular speed, the car jerks up & down (though the jerk is not much noticeable by other passengers in car but the driver can feel it's not smooth).
I got this checked by Hyundai technicians and they responded with a comment "this is what it is. the sensors may be too sensitive but we cannot change it as the software comes via the company".
I just want to check if sm1 else has also observed this?

Yes, I have found the same thing on my 2017 Accent Sport manual. When cruising at 60 Kph in 4th gear on light throttle, the engine falters and bucks slightly ( only the driver notices it and it would be very difficult to demonstrate it to a mechanic). Much more noticeable with the aircon on as it cycles on and off. I figure that it is the second cheapest new car to put on the road (after the Mirage) so you cannot expect perfection in all areas, but it does detract from driving pleasure in an otherwise great little car.
Yes, so glad someone else is experiencing the same thing. I have a Sport auto and its hard to drive smoothly. It almost feels like the car has regenerative braking when you lift of the accelerator. At about 50 kph, it will also drop down a gear when you lift off the pedal. Passengers have started to notice it too, commenting that it feels like the car is surging. It's a shame as everything else about the car is great. I'm going to ask the service people if they can do something to the electronic settings in the transmission when it next gets serviced.
I’ve got the same thing with my 2018 model guys. It doesn’t like to sit on 50kph at all. It’s either under or over.

Hi Everyone,
I ma gone through a lot of above mentioned reviews and are definitely useful. I have another query if any can answer that please.
I live near brisbane cbd and pretty in a hilly area. I just wanted your reviews on how is the car (accent) on hills. Does it struggle or rattles while climbing on a hill?
Thank you

Mine is an automatic and don't have any problems going uphill. Mine is new so I don't know how older cars perform
Thank you for your reply..
I have a an auto mid-2017 model and it handles hills well given its small engine. You won't win a race with a prado, but I'm guessing you won't expect to!

can a reversing camera be fitted to my ascent 2016 hatch hyundai?
3 answers
I'm not sure. I won't be bothering as cost may be prohibitive - just have to be extra attentive when reversing.
I had one fitted when I bought it new from Hyundai, it cost $200, so worth it.
Ours was fitted by a Dealer agency... but this one came with a replacement Radio-CD player with a GPS and maps... and the reversing function. However it is really pricey to add as an accessory... best to use one from SCA for $120 or go for the type that clips on over the rear-view mirror for a few extra $$.
