Hyundai Accent Questions & Answers

Hyundai has been contacted and should respond to this question very shortly,I am not sure what this code means,cheers Krusty.

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.

Generally very good all over, except for a dodgy anti-shake engine mount that lasts between 30.000 and 60,000 km... but Hyundai will replace it. Needs an RWC or Service to find out... you must ASK them to check the Mounting or they may not notice! The 2018 Model Accent now uses a Hydro-Fluid Auto instead of CVT I believe... though I haven't had any trouble with the belt drive CVT - yet.

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!

All models of most cars, and that includes Hyundai models had "elastic bands" for timing gear.... but the Company replaced them with CHAINS since late 2013 I believe... mine is 2015 YM and had chains on it... and so did the 2013 i20 I had before!

Yes. I have this problem too. My car is now 2 years old, And it's still does it . Summer also. I reported it at the ladt service a few weeks ago, I was told it was all cleaned out, but still happening. Also a problem with the windscreen heating up very slowly in winter, alsok told this has been cleaned out. I'll see in winter

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 $$.

Not shure cars normally become very costly once its done too many ks depending on the car some can do 100s of ks others only do 100 best thing is a good machanic mine can tell me exactly what is likely to go wrong and when and estimate the cost one he says get ride of it i do my cars usually last 8 to 10 years and thats second hand unless they crash at the moment i have sedan ford fiesta 20ksonce you get used to the gear box its a great little car to drive safe and aparently they never break down costly and they go for ever unless you wreck or crash it

Possibly it's time to take the car to a hyandai Australia workshop or a mechanical repairs and servicing workshop. If the fault is electric then perhaps a auto electrician shop might be able to help though it seems to that a fuel injection might be blocked

Had The same problem with my Hyundai accent. Solution was replacement of the fuel pump. It's a known problem with this model.
Been running like a charm since replacing the fuel pump. Starts every time.
