2000 Hyundai Accent — reported problems

CarFaultIQ holds 164 evidence records for the 2000 Hyundai Accent, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 113 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

  • Air bags (restraint system)11 (9.7%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 2015.
  • Visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors)10 (8.8%)Official recall records for this system: 5, covering model years 1996–2000.
  • Brakes9 (8.0%)Official recall records for this system: 6, covering model years 2012–2021.
  • Electrical system8 (7.1%)Official recall records for this system: 8, covering model years 1995–2011.
  • Speed control & accelerator8 (7.1%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 2000–2001.

Other / uncategorized: 1 classifications (0.9%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

  • Owner complaints (4,048 records, model years 1995–2022) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), engine and brakes.
  • Safety recalls (75 records, model years 1995–2022) are most frequently classified under: lights, suspension and visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors).
  • Transport Canada recalls (63 records, model years 1995–2019) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, suspension and brakes.
  • Manufacturer communications (1,825 records, model years 1995–2022) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, powertrain (transmission & drivetrain) and equipment & accessories.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Mileage reported when the issue occurred

  • 40reports included a mileage
  • 89,935average of those mileages

This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.

Diagnostic codes found in evidence for this vehicle

These codes appear by explicit identifier in official records matched to this exact model and year.

A code appearing in a record means the code was named in that document. It is not a diagnosis of this vehicle, not a fault this vehicle has, and not an indication of urgency. Diagnosis requires reading live data from the vehicle.
