2011 Hyundai Accent issues, problems in general

[CooperS]

Would like to hear from 2011 Accent owners who are having similar or unique car issues. Only 2011 Accent models please. I think majority here would be the 1.4's. 1.6 Blue version is also welcome.

Mine:
- the rather infamous engine-knock..possible culprit: low octane fuel..this car likes to sip on Shell's premium unleaded only (at least most of the time)..still under observation.
- radio antenna..roof mounted antenna broke off from two months brand new..my car cover does not have any antenna hole and might have possibly caused this.
- door handles sometimes sticks..when you open door, handle stays in the 'open' position so you struggle with your door thinking why isn't it closing in? then you have to go back outside and 'push' handles in properly.
- oh, still no plates after 3months.

Feel free to add more..

Rear suspension too soft, easily bottoms out on humps unless driven very slow over them. Hideous antenna, i'd replace them in a heartbeat if ever i find one.

hello,

FYI lang regarding this issue. mine has no problem consuming other unleaded brand like caltex and petron. what i did is fill my tank worth 500pesos only for every brand to know kung totoong may engine knock kapag hindi shell ang gamit natin. thank god wala naman katok ung engine ko. FC is normal as well, mix driving (highway and city) approximately 7.5L / 100KM or 13.4KM/L. yesterday puno yung accent ko 4 adults(isa mataba) 1 kid. hindi rin naman nag bottom out.

I guess na tsambahan nyo lang cguro yung unit nyo. i hope mine will continue to perform as well cause i really enjoy driving this car. the only bad thing i notice is yung hatak nya. mabagal!

TIA

Yung 1.4 a/t ko kuntento naman ako sa hatak, very adequate for a 1.4 engine. Almost as good as my starex vgt

i agree, maganda talaga hatak at tahimik pa yung engine kahit na umabot ng 140kph, hindi ko feel vibration ng engine nitong accent 1.4. masmaganda pa response ng engine nya compare sa tucon ko dati.

yung sa katok naman sa makina halos wala naman ako naririnig, nagpagas pinsan ko sa seaoil unleaded up to now wala pa naman sya naencounter na fuel knock.

yung sa tucson ko dati may knocking sound din, pero nung pinareset ko yung ECU sa e.rod ok na naman sya, wala na ako narinig noon na engine knock.

Hindi masyado maganda hatak when i used Shell Unleaded (93 RON) yung sakin. but i shifted to Petron XCS (95RON), ang bilis humatak sir, bumababa pa lalo ang consumption ko. the only issue talaga problema ko sa oto eh yung katok nya pag apak ko ng gas tsaka pag bitaw. Pero may nagsabi dito na Engine support daw issue nun, inaantay ko lang yung 5K PMS ko tsaka ko to ireklamo.

not yet sure kung depende nga sa gas brand yung power nya. but what i notice kasi pag traffic tapos biglang umandar na yung sinundan mo ng mabilis, Syempre ikaw hataw ka din para makabol at ng hindi masingitan lalo na pag nag mamadali ka. thats the time i feel na medyo kulang sa hatak yung accent ko.
