Service told me after doing the testing "sir dapat ho shell unleaded ung nilagay nyo" they are pointing that the problem is caused by gasoline, coz i put petron unleaded...

does the unleaded from petron has a problem??? i answer... NO! that's bulls***t.

they drained my fuel tank and changed it to shell unleaded.. i didnt hear any sound when i used the car.... but when the engines heats up... im hearing it again.. i brought the car again. "sir ano gas nilagay nyo" i told them shell... again, they drain my fuel line and tank... then test drive.. service manager called me "sir ok na" then they delivered it again to my house. same problem again.

to cut the story short:

tHE CAR HAS ENGINE PROBLEM, H.A.R.I , THE DISTRIBUTOR UPTO NOW THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE PROBLEM.

For those who bought already i just hope that you will not encounter my problem and for the future.

DEALER, gave back my money.. i just picked up the check yesterday april 27, 2011.

Guys, hindi dahil bago maganda na. Mas ok na ako sa naka sanayan at subok na.

Just my thoughts.

Sorry to hear that.
Anyone whose accent is more than a month old?
Please share your experience.

That's what's bad in getting the ALL-NEW model cars. Features rule but Reliability sucks.

Good thing they returned your money back.

Anyway, the trunk of the Vios is way better looking than the trunk of the Accent. But in front, price and interior the Accent trumps the Vios.

Baliw amp*ta..

bro madaming zackek.. that's my handle before way back 07 when i had my Honda S.I.R. and correction i didn't owned a vios before (never). i shared that experience not to give a bad name to accent, that info is for the buyer who wants accent.. it might help

and sabi mo congressman like when ur sitting to accent?? i bet not. i dnt want to comment on that but i can guarantee you guys na hindi. malalim ung upuan sa likod.. though pump ung driver seat pro di nati-tilt ung manibela.

if you dont beleive me, not my problem anymore. im here to help not to curse. you can go to hyundai q.ave and ask andrew he is the GSM of sales or ricky manager of service. even Noli VP of hyundai. see it for yourself.

and dun sa comment na "wala daw ako pambili" FYI: cash ko binili ung unit.

thanks. peace

this is my returned accent: the first i saw this car sabi ko kukuha talaga ako dahil sobra ganda, until such problem arrived.

Naturally, this will be hard to believe at first, syempre dahil kakakuha ko lang ng accent 2 days ago

... I hope this is an isolated case like what happens to some known brands and I am grateful that HARI took the responsibility.

Sir SG, I know malakas ka sa HARI, can you confirm this para naman sa amin na nakabili na at sa mga iba na nagpaplano palang bumili ng Accent.
TIA

That's what you call lemon.

Not only new models can have that. Even old ones. Yan yung tipong " minamalas " ang buyer, and I'm sorry to tell you ZackEK that you're one of them.

Even Toyotas, Fords, Hondas etc. can have a lemon car. No one's safe from getting one.

And I don't believe in such sh!t na ...

Guys, hindi dahil bago maganda na. Mas ok na ako sa naka sanayan at subok na.

... cause even though it's " tried&tested ", it also can have problems. The Innova is an example. It has been proven to be tough and yet, its 2.5L D4D choked, stalled & died on one tsikoteer. Even the Ford Focus, it's tried&tested and yet one of our tsikoteers complained about the car not starting.

Minalas ka lang diyan. And I'm so sorry for what happened to you, ZackEK. True enough that not all things are " meant to be ".

kausapin mo nalang SA mo at pilitin mo na palitan ng bagong unit.,

parang ganyan din nangyari samin dati nung nakuha namin yung Sta. Fe namin naka neutral pero umaandar padin., problem sa tranny tinawagan lang namin yung SA namin at napalitan naman unit namin without charge ng bago! wag kaw papayag ng repair lang

Sir, actually he said na nakuha na daw niya yung check, meaning di siya pumayag sa repair or replacement.

They repaired it 4x, 3x nila binaba ung gas tank coz sabi ng service sa gas daw ung problem. up to now they still don't know what is the problem. di din makita ng computer nila.

HARI send their finest mechanic but nothing happened.

yep.. actually i have the option to change the unit. pro i choose to get my money na lang, kse baka ganun din ung maging problem. Funny thing when my SA delivered the accent.. i told him "bro bka lemon yan a" sabi nya ano un sir.. then i explained.. pareho kme natawa and sabi nya "malabo yan sir" ayun nagkatotoo biro ko.

sana sa akin lang nangyari to. pro sabi ng GSM nila merong isa sa fort and abad santos. so far 3 cases out of thousands na nagawa nila. we don't know that kse ung iba they don't know that sound.

Kia SOUL neighbor namin.. A/T wala pa plate.. may knocking sound din engine

Lets just hope na kme lang tinamaan ng lemon car.

HONESTLY, up to this point in time.. my wife telling me na "gusto ko pa din ung accent" coz that's her first car

we've been to mazda 2, ford fiesta hb, city, over those car she choose accent, i want to gamble and get the accent again just to break the thought na may problem ung unit. New dealer na kausap ko yesterday, and we both agreed before invoice il test drive the actual unit. Fair enough.

il keep posted what happened, i hope this this time no "lemon"
