2011 Hyundai Accent issues, problems in general

[maxhedrum]

Sir, sa akin hindi din ibinigay yung OEM na 1DIN stereo. FYI.

Mga Sirs! Ask ko lang sa mga kumuha sa Manila Bay or E. Rod ng Accent 'Gold' 1.4 M/T, talaga bang hindi nila tini-turnover yong OEM
na 1 din stereo after kinabit nila yong ricey accessories plus yong spacer, IMO dapat lang ibigay sa may-ari kasi kasama yon sa bayad + accessories na sobrang level-up ang patong, ano ba gagawin nila sa tinangal na OEM na stereo? marahil ibebenta nila sa labas at kumita pa sila...poor quality pa yong materials na ginamit na pang fix don sa monitor for rear camera, madalas mahulog pag-nalubak
kaya minabuti ko na lang tangalin kesa masira. Grrrr

I think most Hyundai's has this suspension characteristic. Consider the Sta. Fe & Vera Cruz. Both have soft suspensions.

As to my unit, changing into 50 series tires changed the riding comfort of the vehicle. Medyo bouncy yong ride esp. on 70 series tires coupled with a very soft suspension configuration, kaya changing low profile tires might ease the problem a bit. Pero that should not be the case.

As to others like "Broken Antenna" due to car covers, with all sense of fairness, di na siguro sa Hyundai ang problema.


"Things that matter most shoud not be at the mercy of things that matter less..."

Hehehehe, before I got my unit, I always expected that somewhere along the way, I would have little problems with my unit. Whether its a jap car or korean (I current owned a Honda City 3rd Gen, an i10 & accent 1.4AT).

Well if it's a BMW in which I paid 7 to 8 Digit Figure, then I will be storming my dealer. But sometimes these units certainly would have certain issues as well...

+ 100 ako dito bro meikey!

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.

Feel free to add more..

Yan ba yung pinaka-titi o yung base ang sira? kung yung pinakatiti lang ang sira(yung natatanggal by roskas kapag gusto mo alisin), kung gusto mo meron akong spare.

Ayusin mo naman :hysterical:

Yung main antenna pwede ata palitan yan nung pareho sa Tucson at SF. Medyo makapal sya at maiksi lang. Tulad nung last gen Accent.

At talaga naman sinukat pa! :hysterical:

Tingin ko yung antenna yung sira, di yung base. Teka check ko sa pics ng Accent..

[Starex_Gold]

Dapat ganito yung antenna ng local eh. Pareho ng Tucson at Santa Fe



Or sana tulad ng Elantra na glass printed..

At oo nakaka-inggit yung color. Hahaha

[desert fox]

yap, ganyan nga broSG, pareho lang sila ng KIA....nasa drawer ko kasi sa opisina mga pinalitan na piyesa...busina,antenna(spare ko),hubcaps at emblems...

bigay ko na lang sa kanya..bait naman ako...nyahaha

[Starex_Gold]

Sagot nalang niya ang shipping?

Thanks brother, ambait mo pala. Anyway I won't repeat kung anuman tawag mo dun sa male part for political correctness, hehe. I'm thinking it might not be so much a Hyundai parts issue but if you'd notice talagang napakadaling masira or prone to breakage antenna ng Accent. I wish the design was more durable and could've taken into account na maybe users are going to be using car cover to protect (finish on this) car. Putting antenna hole on my car cover is not an option, at least for me dahil it creates other possible issues like moisture/dirt/dust seeping into the hole.
The problem with mine is yung sa pinaka base mismo, yung roskas na plasticky part broke..I still have the 10inch long titi but unable to screw. gusto ko nga na bilhan na lang ng fin type available sa DIY pero napaka-tacky naman tingnan. Parang yung sa BMW but looks much much cheaper. I happen to listen to FM radio a lot kaya kakainis talaga.

[bratski]

Ang napansin ko lang sa antenna nung sinubukan kong tanggalin, meron namang reception. Kaso after a few minutes biglang nawawala na reception. ganyan ba talaga yan? Ang sagwa kasi nung antenna

[Starex_Gold]

Best thing to do is replace the antenna. Meron sa Maspro yun 3 inches lang na antenna. Cute sya at matibay. Hehehe 300 bucks lang ata.

[elbert]

Actually iyon na nga po Sir ang ginagawa doon. In addition, in a marketing standpoint and if I were in the same shoes as that of a dealer, kapag bumili iyong customer ng "GOLD" variant at ito mga kasama, ang sell-off ko is "original po ito at hindi po mavo-void ang warranty niyo." If pagturnover ng unit sinabi ko pa sa customer na "Sir ito nga po pala yung mga original na piyesang nakakabit sa unit na pinalitan para sa "GOLD" edition", parang kinontra mo na rin yung sinabi mo sa umpisa na "original" nga ang package na kasama ng "GOLD". Pwede ka pang matanong, "ha? Eh akala ko ba original na kasama sa "GOLD" eh iyon? Ibig sabihin nabuksan na dash ng unit ko?" -- problema pa IMO.

They'll try to sell it in a fashion that the accessories are OEM, wherein fact the parts are actually outsourced and the only thing legit done is the fact that it's dealership-installed.

You can try to claim the original and replaced parts, but IMO wishful thinking na lang na ibibigay nila. The fact pa lang na may AUX-IN na yung HU makes it marketable outside. Just my .02.

Got your point sir. Applicable sa mga buyers na walang alam sa mga ganitong add-ons, gaya ko sa sobrang excitement. According from my SA wala daw warranty sa mga add-ons, totoo ba to?, ibig-sabihin poor quality ung gadgets na kinabit nila kasi wala silang tiwala, kaya napakamot na lang ako.

Ayun naman pala eh.. meron kay Boss benjie ng MASPRO.. Thanx bro SG!!! Sikat na sikat ka sa MASPRO bro eh.. lagi ka daw doon sabi ni sir benjie!

Mine is 1.4 M/T.

Problem: it just occurred last week. I can hear a noise once I change gear or when I'm on a low gear 1st and 2nd gear... when I stepped on the gas pedal and release it or from reverse to 1st gear. I think it's the velocity joint making the sound (not sure though) but it's an annoying sound especially on a brand new car and it's just a month and 8 days old. What is the best thing to do with this mga bro?

Fuel consumption:
MOA to Tagaytay with slight traffic at Bacoor 9.65 liters / 91.3 kms = 9.461kms/L at speed of 70-90kph. So far ung batak nya superb parin lakas ng hatak with the shell V-power.

Just an update to my accent problem:

I pay a visit to my dealer sa Hyundai Las Pinas yesterday to let them check the problem and with the help of my SA (miss Mai) OK na po sya.. hinigpitan lang ung velocity joint, and nawala ung knocking sound...

Happy driving na ulit!!!

[desert fox]

Sagot nalang niya ang shipping?

no probs broSG, pwede siya airmail....kaya lang sabi niya, yung base daw pala talaga nasira....

ano advice mo dun? kung ako, sharks fin na body tone colro, para astig ang dating...

i see, bili ka na lang sharks fin antenna bro, then papinturahan mo ng katulad ng kulay ng kotse mo...

kung meron lang dito, ganun din gagawin ko...

goodluck.

pero kung sino man me gusto ng antenna, yung pinaktiti nya, just let me know, ipa-airmail ko sa inyo....

no probs....

Yung stock car stereo ng accent mt ko, madalas di gumagana, biglang gagana for a while pero pag pinatay ko na makina pg open ko, di na naman gumagana, kakainis kabago bago, pina chek sa kin kung gumagana lighter, ok naman, bakit ganun? Intermittent ang pag gana nya, 1 week old accent from hyundai greenhills. Any insights?

[jayvel]

My fuel consumption , as in pure city driving 9.03 km per liter, 200 km pa lang ako, madalas trapik yan. Tipid na rin no? Lalo na siguro sa hi-way
