2020 Hyundai Accent — reported problems

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
