problem #1

Feb 102010

Accent GL 1.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 32,311 miles

I noticed rust bubbles around the RR wheelwell when detailing the car one day. I took it to the stealership and they patched them twice over the spell of a few months, but the rust kept coming back. Hyundai replaced the entire 1/4 panel including about 1/3 of the rocker panel under the driver's door. That was in 2010. I noticed the other day that where the old panel meets the new on the driver's rocker, that there is once again rust. It's past warranty now, but this, and the multitude of other problems, plus terrible customer service on this little red shitbox turned me completely against Hyundai.
