POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION STARTED FAILING WITHIN THE FIRST 30 DAYS OF PURCHASE, EVER TIME IT WENT OVER 10 MPH IT LUGGED BACK AND THEN WENT FORWARD. BOUGHT THE CAR USED WITH 42K MILES AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO KEEL THE CAR TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION OR CHANGE A PART.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
1) DRIVING ON A HILLY, TWISTY ROAD. WHILE APPROACHING A DOWNHILL TURN IN THE ROAD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE TACH DROPPED TO "0" AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. SINCE THE ENGINE WAS NO LONGER RUNNING, I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES SUDDENLY. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND WENT OFF THE ROAD, CRASHING INTO A GUARDRAIL. 2) DAMAGED PARTS: FRONT BUMPER, HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, CORNER LIGHT ASSEMBLY, RF FENDER, HOOD, UPPER RADIATOR CORE SUPPORT. POSSIBLY INNER FENDER ALSO? AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF, AND I WAS NOT INJURED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT AFTER ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OPERATE THE CAR NORMALLY EVER SINCE. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND AM WAITING FOR RESOLUTION AND REPAIRS. 3) NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET.

TIRES
I PURCHASED HYUNDAI ACCENT 4DR COUPE AND WAS SURPRISED AT THE INSTABILITY CAUSED BY THE TINY TIRES IT COMES EQUIPPED WITH. I WAS FURTHER DISTURB WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT HYUNDAI WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND PUT LARGER WHEELS AND TIRES ONT HE GT VERSION FO THIS CAR TO INCREASE STABILITY. THE BASIC CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON WINDING ROADS AND VERY UNSTABLE IN EMERGENCY MANEUVERS WITH THE STANDARD WHEEL-TIRE COMBINATION. HYUNDAI SHOULD REPLACE THE STANDARD WHEEL WITH LARGER MORE STABLE WHEELS AND TIRES AS THEY PUT ON THE GT VERSION.*AK
