1998 Hyundai Accent problems
The Hyundai Accent (Korean: 현대 엑센트), or Hyundai Verna (현대 베르나) is a subcompact car produced by Hyundai. In Australia, the first generation models carried over the Hyundai Excel name used by the Accent's predecessor. The Accent was replaced in 2000 by the Hyundai Verna in South Korea, although most international markets, including the US, retained the "Accent" name. The "Accent" name is an abbreviation of Advanced Compact Car of Epoch-making New Technology.
The Accent is produced for the Chinese market by Beijing Hyundai Co., a joint venture with Beijing Automotive Industry Corp. For the Russian market it was assembled by the TagAZ plant in Taganrog until 2011, and since 2011 it was assembled by the HMMR plant in Saint Petersburg and sold under the new name Hyundai Solaris. In Mexico, the Accent was marketed until 2014 by Chrysler as the Dodge Attitude, previously known as the Verna by Dodge. In Venezuela, Chrysler marketed these models as the Dodge Brisa until 2006. The Brisa was assembled by Mitsubishi Motors at its plant in Barcelona, Venezuela. Since 2002, the Accent had been the longest-running small family car sold in North America. In Puerto Rico, the second and third generations were sold as the Hyundai Brio.
In 2008, Hyundai Accent was named the most dependable subcompact car by J.D. Power and Associates.

Common 1998 Hyundai Accent problems
The Hyundai Accent, a subcompact car produced in 1994 and still in production today, is well-loved by drivers for its ideal mileage and affordability. However, certain model years have been associated with specific problems, particularly engine and transmission issues. This article will focus on the 1998 Hyundai Accent and its common problems, based on complaints from owners.
One of the most common issues with the 1998 Hyundai Accent is start problems. Users have reported difficulties starting the car, which occurs intermittently and without a clear pattern. Despite changing the battery, sparking plugs, crankshaft position sensor, and cam sensor, the problem remains unresolved.
Another issue that has been reported with the 1998 Hyundai Accent is transmission problems. Users have experienced issues with the car's automatic transmission, specifically the inability to shift into reverse gear. The problem is sudden and occurs without any prior signs of transmission slipping or other issues. When the car tries to shift into the next gear, the RPMs increase, indicating that the transmission is struggling to engage the next gear. This issue can be resolved by driving with the overdrive button off, but when the overdrive button is on, the car tries to switch up another gear and faces the same problem.

However, it is crucial for potential buyers to be aware of these common problems and consider them when making a purchasing decision. As with any car, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the vehicle's history and maintenance records before making a purchase.

My 97 accent manual hatchback L has taken care of me more than my mother ever has. I owned good ole L-Swift Mckay from mile zero to mile 103,000. I reluctantly gave it up after 4 years and 10 months of unadulterated dependability and perseverance.
-
Bought it new and it runs great without any breakdowns. It still gets 30+ MPG and has no mechanical problems. Although the manual transmission is not synchronized and can be difficult to get into reverse, I love the rack and pinion steering as it gives me a great feel for the road conditions and traction. As a result, I am now a Hyundai customer for life.
-
Congratulations on your first Hyundai! It's great to hear that the car runs well with no major problems, and that the occasional engine light was an easy fix. With gas prices on the rise, it's good to have a reliable car like yours that gets good mileage. While it may not be the fastest car out there, it certainly provides a smooth and comfortable ride. Best of luck with your growing family!
-
The Hyundai Accent is a fantastic little car for the price. It offers a secure, relatively quiet and comfortable ride, great gas mileage, and a solid feel and construction. It would make a perfect second car for local commuting.
-
Great Car! It's true that there were some minor issues with cheap pieces of plastic breaking on the cup holders, but as long as you keep up with regular maintenance, it will treat you well. Unfortunately, at 120K miles, the transmission went out. I used to live in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, and I think the strain on the car was just too much. Overall, though, I would still recommend this car!

It's not the best, but it's what we could afford at the time. We needed a car and this was the most affordable option for us.
Jarod McKenzie 2024-09-07
This vehicle is not suitable for extreme conditions such as steep slopes or hills, as the brakes may not function properly and the engine may overheat. However, under normal circumstances, the vehicle performs adequately.
Jettie Flatley 2024-07-25
I recently purchased this car for a great deal at 284,000km. Although it has been around for a while, I paid only $400 for it as a winter car. During the summer, I drive a RWD 320hp car, but I still enjoy driving the Accent. While it may not have the best performance, I love driving it with its 5-speed manual transmission. It heats up quickly and handles corners well. Overall, for a 1998 model with high mileage, it runs smoothly without burning oil and is quite durable.
Emile Cummerata 2024-07-23
Hi there! It's great to talk about my car. When I first bought it in 2002, it was really fun to drive. However, I've had some trouble with it eating tires. Even when I buy expensive tires, I have to put new ones on about every 3 months. I've had the alignment done, but it still goes through tires. I've also had to replace the alternator and a bearing in one of the tires. Despite these issues, it has been fairly reliable. I drive about 45 miles every day for school and work, and it gets about 32-35 mpg, which is nice. However, it shakes really bad and there is a lot of noise when driving. It has 135,000 miles, so I guess some problems are to be expected. Thanks for listening!
