problem #2

Accent 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 77,985 miles
Fuel line and power steering line rubbed where they were close together in the engine compartment causing a hole in the fuel line which was spraying a steady strem of gasloline right into the engine compartment all over the transmission and radiator fans. I feel that this was a design flaw and that those lines never should have been placed that close together this is not a laughing matter however Hyundai motors of America tol me there was nothing they could do about it because my car is out of warranty.I could have been killed there could have been an explosion and or fire.
