I HAVE A HYUNDAI ACCENT 2000 3 DOOR HATCHBACK IN MAY HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM FLUSHED OUT $500 CALLED HYUNDAI BEFORE I REPAIRED SAID THAT ITEM WAS NOT PART OF A CURRENT CAMPAIGN FOR MY VIN NUMBER HOWEVER SIMILAR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY NUMEROUS PARTIES. AUGUST 1, 2005 THREE DAYS AFTER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ENDED CAR DIED DEFECTIVE O2 SENSOR MELTED THE SHROUD, EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER, ALSO ENGINE COIL REPAIRS SO FAR 1500 (HYUNDAI SAYS PARTS AREN'T UNDER WARRANTY ANY MORE) NOW THE COMPUTER IS BAD ON THE PHONE WITH HYUNDAI TECH SUPPORT FOR THREE HOURS TESTING, THEY GAVE UP NEVER CALLED BACK, HYUNDAI SAID NOT THEIR PROBLEM. CURRENTLY I HAVE NO VEHICLE AND IT WILL COST 250 TO TOW TO HYUNDAI DEALER ABOUT 60 MILES AWAY HYUNDAI WILL NOT PAY FOR THE TOWING EVEN THOUGH CAR HAS SAFETY DEFECTS/RECALLS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED. SO I GUESS I AM BETTER OFF WITHOUT MY HYUNDAI THEN DRIVING AROUND MY TWO CHILDREN IN A DEATH TRAP. *JB
