Open letter to hyundai asia resources inc - accent 1.4 mt 2012 issue

[jaguartiu]

Ang bagsik naman ng pagkaka-post mo, bro...

If you really don't like the Accent,- then what about the Eon and the i10, which you were eyeing earlier?

Or, go upsize for the Elantra.

All of these are value-for-money vehicles....

15.8K:dunno:

between enigine knocking and sudden uncontrolled acceleration.. Sa engine knocking nalang ako.

[weisshorn]

WAS looking forward to owning a hyundai vehicle. been to a showroom. liked the eon. then after 2 days decided to buy an i10. then seen an accent. like it very much. now searched here in tsikot. I said I WAS LOOKING FORWARD . . . but not anymore. Just read up to page 3 then clicked the last button.

HYUNDAI . . . YOU HAVE JUST LOST A CLIENT HERE.

WILL BUY A VIOS INSTEAD.

hmmm... well said but.. are you sure that you will not regret if in the future you meet an accent owner with problemless engine because his ecu was updated to euro-2 right from the start of ownership?

[renzo_d10]

Naging Eon, Ta's naging i10 tapos naging Accent? Baka naman pwede pa isang step further at maging Elantra?

Hi,

ISSUE:
Knocking and low power Hyundai Accent
ECM Failure
Dealer: Hyundai Quezon Avenue

Earlier today I brought my Hyundai Accent 1.4 MT at Hyundai Quezon Avenue for my 1k PMS. I couldn't bear the knocking problem and low power so I asked the SA to have the ECU updated using your Euro 2 ECM.

The knocking issue was lessened but what's worse is that extreme low power is evident in this case! I had to step on the pedal about 3-4k rpms or even more to get the car moving and interestingly enough the car went from fuel efficient to gas guzzling machine!!! Not only that, the engine noise had increased terribly! NO EXAGGERATION!!!

What's best about today, around 11pm along SLEX (Saturday 25.02.2011) the accent's check engine light lit up and the engine died down!!!!! I WAS WITH MY WIFE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!!!! A BRAND NEW CAR WITH ONLY 1 MONTH USAGE???????

I tried to start the engine but to no avail. Was about to call the towing service but I thought of troubleshooting by removing the negative battery terminal for a few minutes and placed it back again, well it did start. Thank Goodness! Congratulations HYUNDAI ASIA RESOURCES INC. for bringing this defective unit here and luckily I'm the only one in this so I will demand...

Replace my unit as soon as possible!!!

If you can just imagine the desperation and frustration i have now, I hope you take action immediately!

I sent you people my first email last week and I didn't hear anything from you!

This will be my final plea as your customer to please take action or I would be forced to resort in legal remedies.

Do contact me as soon as possible!

Regards.

To mr behavedriver, if I may just ask, did HARI replaced your vehicle? thanks
I just hope you can help me out what to do. I filed a case with DTI against HARI.

I feel for you brotha. I hope your situation is resolved as soon as possible. To think it's Christmas time and you and your family is experiencing this. Those accent and rio cars share the same dna, gas guzzlers.

Any updates po mga sir about sa status ng claim nyo sa Hari?

I don't know how batches of this 1.4 accent differ to each other but my brod 1.4 mt now logged 10000 km odometer never shown any of this problem. Driving in the highway maintaining 60-70 kph gives 4.2 L/100km reading in the trip meter..

[joemarski]

hindi pa ba tapos itong issue na ito? ganito rin ang problema ni lemoncar ah.

Sir this is for the accent m/t only. elantra has no knocking issues as far as i know.

Yup I know. I was refering to the aftersales service ng Hyundai when it comes to dealing with defective products.

Di na kita masasagot dyan sir

Lahat naman ng brands may kanya kanyang baho

[imperialv]

Yung 2012 na fortuner 2nd qtr nakuha nya. So hindi pa siya yng VNT. nag ingay ang makina, sabi ng toyota turbo assembly daw. Pinalitan naman. Kaso as of now may humming sound.

[roydok]

I hope this helps. :toast: My sister's 2011 1.4L Accent A/T issues were recently solved by a complete replacement of the CVVT system by HARI. She also went through the whole charade of ECU software updates, advice of only using only Shell 97 octane gas, etc... with still the presence of engine knocks, high rpm upshifts, poor engine performance and poor fuel economy. :ill:

Same here I bought my bnew 2011 hyundai tucson and multiple defects happened, engine knocking vehicle stalling, jerking, they replaced the transmission , ecu, gas tank and many more others but still more defects arise after each repair, I already filed a case on them on Dti but im still waiting for the results. . people must know how horrible HARI is

Guys share ko lang din yung horrible experience ko sa hyundai shaw, And now I'm convinced na wala talagang kwenta ang hyundai for both their cars and after sales service nila. I bought my accent 4 yrs ago at Hyundai e rod, my first 6 months na experience ko rin ang engine knocking na sobrang lakas at sa sobrang takot ko dinala ko na agad sya sa hyundai erod but when I arrived sa casa nawala na rin sya bigla. Ang sabi lang ng service advisor bka sa gas ko na unleaded and mag pa change nlang ako sa premium at naniwala nman ako den fast forward 4 years after until last week august 13, 2015 pag ka uwi ko galing ofis bumalik ang engine knocking. So inisip ko hindi na to gas den nag decide na ako mag pa PMS kc at the same time due na rin sya. Dinala ko sya sa shaw dahil sila lang hindi puno at tumatanggap ng walk in. Pag kasabi ko sa service advisor may engine knocking sya na nkaka irita tlga ang tunog, ang sabi nman nya mawawala nman yan sir after natin ma pms sya. So naniwala nman ako so after malabas ang car around 7 pm andun pa rin ang knocking nya. Ang sabi lang nya sir nag aauto adjust kc ang valve nya obserbahan po natin ng mga ilang araw pag hindi nawala ibalik po natin. So dumaan ang sat, sun, mon di pa rin sya nawala until yesterday habang dala ko sya along kamuning bigla nlang may malakas na tunog sa engine ko den pinatay ko agad ang makina pag ka tingin ko sa labas wala na sumuka na ng langis. So pinahatak ko sya sa taxi hanggang hyundai shaw kc sila nman ang last nag pms. So tinignan nila ni lifter,Una nilang theory na center island ako kc yung pag ka biak ng block kasya isang kaha ng yosi at kita mo na ang rod. Nung nakita nila na wala nmang sign na nabangga nga ako at sinabi ko yung scenario ko na nag pa pms ako den sabi auto adjust nman raw pag ka check nila sa system di raw ako nag complain na may knocking. Hello! What the heck! Sila nga nag sabi na mag aauto adjust sya at tatahimik sya after ma pms at hanggang bago ako umalis nag usap pa kami ng service advisor which VL sya by that time. Tapos na trace nila sa pass book ko na nka 4 missed na ako na tig 5k diff na pms. Dun nila ako binalikan na void na raw ang waranty na kahit umabot raw sa husgado at paglalaban nya raw mga tao nya. Ang sa akin lang di ako nkikipag away at nag rereport ako in good faith pero sa knila ang dating hugas kamay agad sila. Cge andun na tau sa na missed ko ang last 4 pms, pero never ako na missed sa pa change oil using ang filter and oil pa rin nila. Dahil din sa mahal ng pms nila na mahina 7k kada 5k km run. Bago ako mag brand new galing rin ako sa 2nd hand car na toyota and mitsubishi at almost tig more than 10 yrs old na sila pero never ko na experience ang engine knocking. Sobrang dismayado ako sa Hyundai, may mali rin ako sa side ko dahil puro verbal lang kami, 2nd mali rin nila dahil hinayaan nila mkalabas na ganyan ang ingay which yun ang lagi nilang tinatanggi na ang narinig nila valve lang na maingay at hindi knocking. Sobra ako dismayado tlga at mukang wala na rin pag asa ang block ko kc na biak sya mula sa oil filter.

[mda]

Sorry to hear this sir.

Pero ganito talaga, sobrang pangit ng after-sales support ng Hyundai.

After our Starex this will be the last Hyundai we will buy in a while.

Hahanapan ka talaga ng butas. Hirap kapag masyadong magtitiwala. Yan makina na yan noong una pa may problema na.
. Ikalat mo sa social media yan. Reklamo mo sa dti. MATALO ka man, maging aware lang tao sa bulok na sistema ng Hari, makakaapekto pa rin sa sales nila. Mabawasan lang ng kahit 5% sales nila. Panalo kana.

so the car was running fine during the interim of 4 years, which is why you never brought in your car for pms until ....?
then bigla na lang bumalik ang problema?
missing 4 pms in a row (for over 3 years!), bringing it in only when problem returns... that's not exactly "..in good faith.."..
but i am curious... what caused that engine block to fracture? the decision on who to blame, is probably based on what part failed and why..
good luck, sir.

Usually po Sir since may knocking sound so may moving part na hinde na madadala sa lubrication ng langis, like a heavily worn out bearing or piston. So when the part reaches its limits - boom! It suddenly stops moving. So for example isang connecting rod bearing nag seize, yun crankshat nag rotate pa since may remaning pa na ibang pistons, so mapupuwersa yun naka stuck up na connecting rod na kumabyos, at wala sya ibang pupuntahan kundi sa side - which is yun engine block na mismo kaya ayun butas. Imagine mo na lang parang nabalian ng buto na lumabas yun buto, parang ganun po.

Part failures as usual is either manufacturing defect or lack of maintenance or misuse or abuse.
