2011 Hyundai Accent issues, problems in general

[mda]

yan ang masakit. We are their mercy, in w/c it should have been the other way around. While HARI PRs keep on posting sales growth throughout this year, eh on the other side namomoblema naman ang karamihan...

And besides, it's a complete BS talaga na our accent is fuel sensitive, when the competition even accepts lowest fuel grade possible (around 90-92 RON).

Para yatang 6 out of 10 na accent, may katok. eh kung ikaw yong na-belong sa 4, eh sari sari problema naman like what I have experience. I'm glad that my dealer is addressing my problems fair and square, but reading between the lines of these 92 pages of stated facts & problems, eh para yatang walang malalimang solusyon si HARI about this.

Hehehe, no wonder Hyundai had produced the best cars that most of us can afford (eg. Tucson, Starex, Gen Coupe, Vera Cruz & Sta. Fe). Pero what happen with the accent is another story.

Agree ako dito.

Plus the fact that most executive sedans (and the sonata) can run on the lowest fuel grade makes it that much harder to stomach.

Mas ok na yung hindi kumakatok yung makina. I can live with the rattles, busted central locking switches, kahit wag na rin bumaba yung bintana. Wag lang ma-affect yung primary use ng kotse (with the engine issues and all).

Dami na palang issue sa yo sir meikey. well eto sa akin:

1. Rattling on driver and passenger doors. Fixed by opening the panels and DIY sound deadening. solid na ulit. Didnt help that much sa sound proofing though, i think manipis glass ng accent kaya pasok pa rin certain frequencies.

Bro, can you share which panels exactly did you sound deaden? Same issue kasi tayo and it's awfully annoying. Hehe

[maxhedrum]

yung dalawang front door panel.

Ako iisa nalang issue ko. Malakas sa gas. Talaga yatang hanggang 6km/l nalang ito city driving. nagpa fillup ako ng petron unleaded and looks like bababa pa lalu average fc ko. Mukhang mag 5plus km/l lang ako dito.if based sa trip computer.

Automatic yang 1.4 accent mo?

[elkarera]

Accent m/t FC ko sa city driving 10-12km/l and 14km/l sa highway. napansin ko shifting in lower rpm (less 2k rpm) make fc less
try mo bro wag masyado mataas rpm bago mag shift kung dimo naman need umarangkada kagad ok na ang 1,200-1,700rpm then shift gear IMHO

*tomboy,
Yes a/t yung akin
*elkarera
Kahit a/t unit ko i shift between 1,700-2k rpm. Hindi ako aggressive driver. ang problem lang yung route ko. Matraffic sobra. And i travel very short routes daily, around 8kms balikan na

[tomboy]

Grabe yung purwesiyo binigay sayo ng accent na yan. Kahit ako wala accent naiinis sa naexperience mo. Matipid pa yung 1.8 Civic FD automatic using petron unleaded.

Maselan pa sa gas yang accent gusto pa blaze petron.

Nakakita ako ng 1.6 accent nagandahan ako kaso automatic lang pala meron. Ayaw na ata ng pinoy mag manual trans.

Tama ba yung 1.6 accent ang wala problem?

[makro]

guys, may nadiscover ako sa driving habit ng accent. i think this is the delay/timing problem.
you need to late release the clutch pedal after you manual stick to rev up the engine on 1st and 2nd gear. kung baga timpla timpla with gas before you press the gas fully.

[erj22]

yan ang advantage ng manual tranny.

i use shell unleaded so far so good never try though the premium and v-power

Kahit a/t unit ko i shift between 1,700-2k rpm. Hindi ako aggressive driver. ang problem lang yung route ko. Matraffic sobra. And i travel very short routes daily, around 8kms balikan na

pag sobra traffic mga 9kl/l siguro worse fc ko. usually i never stay in 1st gear in a traffic pag alam kong kaya ng ipasok ng 2nd gear pinapasok kona. iba kasi free whelling ng higher gearing, malayo na matatakbo mo in idle mode pero pag primera matigas manakbo in idle mapapa taas ka ng rev para umusad talaga.

naku i feel you bratski .. yung sa akin naka euro 2 tapos ito low power na naman .. super premium na yung pinapakarga ko pero parang hirap cya lalo na kapag mabagal .. 5-7 km/L ang city driving ko .. brought it sa casa sabi nila mag self check muna ko tapos ibalik ko ..

napansin ko din yan pre mukhang di ok yung self adjusted clutch ng accent. sa 1st and 2nd gear kailangan mo muna magtaas ng rpm kung hindi totope ang makina lalo na kung uphill.

[betski21]

please dont be upset. i have accent too. para saken lang naman this car is such a failure. wag na sana tayo magbolahan sa mga kotse natin.the company must admit kailangan na talaga ng recall. its been more than a year when they release the all new hyundai accent and yet still no long term solution for the engine knocking problem.low power,high fuel consumption.kung pwede lang i suggest sana i change engine na lang from 1.4 to 1.6.

pasensya na kayo guys i can only say this para naman matauhan ang hyundai and HARI na gumawa ng rearrangement tungkol sa problema natin sa kanila... peace..

[bratski]

Hayy goodluck in doing that here sa Pilipinas. Kung simpleng parts lang na papalitan hindi na magawa recall pa kaya. Suggestion ko sa mga namomroblema sa units nila, kailangan brasuhin nyo yung dealer nyo na palitan ang ecu at upgrade sa euro2. Ang original ecu can only be upgraded once. Pag na upgrade na sa euro1 then upgrade uli sa euro 2 magkaka leche leche makina nyo. Dapat stock programming then euro 2 agad. It solved my almost yearlong problem ng knocking and low power.
Pero easier said than done yung pag replace ng ecu dahil dadaan kayo sa butas ng karayom bago mapalitan yan.

[dbmusni]

i wonder kung yung mga models ngaun ay walang mga engine problem (knock) porma pa man din ng accent..planning to buy one kaso nag dadalawang isip nako..first car ko to, ayaw ko naman na mag ka problema agad

[Cicis]

same boat tayo sir. kaso ako nakabili na at ineenjoy si accent.

[sayuri]

my 1.6 accent is almost two months now, kilometer reading is under 1700kms. i don't have any problems with gas consumption. neither engine knock. what bothers me is, the blower of the A/C. it changes speed. biglang lalakas or biglang hihina. another issue for me is when all accessories are on, (headlights, radio, A/C), when you turn your signal light, the whole instrument panel lights will also blink slightly.

siguro bago sila magpasok ng mga mga bagong model ng kotse, ayusin muna nila yung mga issues ng mga kotse nila.

i have my accent 1.4 mt, so far so good pa naman. 10days old na sakin mula ng nailabas ng casa. malapit na din ako mag 1k sa odo, hehe..
