2017 Hyundai Accent problems

hyundai logo

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 2017 Hyundai Accent problems

The Hyundai Accent 2017 has been reported to have several common problems based on complaints from owners. These issues include airbag system malfunctions, warning lights on the dashboard, broken underbody panels, transmission failures, and quirky items in the interior.

Airbag system issues are the most widespread complaint among 2017 Hyundai Accent owners. The airbag control system is known to have software problems, which can lead to airbags not deploying in the event of a collision. Hyundai has offered a software update to improve the reliability of the airbag system.

Warning lights on the dashboard are another common problem, appearing around 35,000 miles. These warning lights can indicate various issues, such as engine problems or electrical faults. To diagnose the problem, an OBD-II scan tool must be used to read the computer for any error codes. The repairs can range from $20 to $350, depending on the source of the problem.

Broken underbody panels have also been reported on the Hyundai Accent at around 15,000 miles. The panels simply wear down quicker than on some other cars, and have to be replaced. Changing out the panels costs around $250, depending on local labor rates.

Transmission failures are a significant concern for the 2017 Hyundai Accent. Several owners have reported having to replace the transmission at around 66,000 miles, with no warranty available due to their status as second owners. Hyundai has not issued a recall for this issue, but some owners have reported that the company should do so.

Interior quirks are also a common complaint among 2017 Hyundai Accent owners. These quirks include a lack of a lock on the passenger side, no rear wiper, a rearview mirror that won't stay put, overly complicated dash controls, seat material that burns too easily from cigarette ash, and a glove box that should be level when opened. Some owners have reported that these quirks can be frustrating and detract from the overall driving experience.

In summary, the 2017 Hyundai Accent has several common problems, including airbag system malfunctions, warning lights on the dashboard, broken underbody panels, transmission failures, and interior quirks. While some of these issues can be resolved with software updates or relatively simple repairs, others may require more significant interventions, such as transmission replacement. Owners of the 2017 Hyundai Accent should be aware of these common problems and take appropriate steps to maintain their vehicles and address any issues that arise.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2023-09-23
  • Fire: 1
  • VIN: KMHCT4AE4HU
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE
  • Summary: I have already submitted a report here and never had any follow up and I don't see it in the reported complaints section of this website with newer incidents already showing so I know it isn't that there is a back log. my car caught on fire while I was in the car, asleep. I have reports from the fire department, I have struggled with Hyundai for months and ultimately was denied any assistance due to I was missing one of two service records. the fire report clearly stated that fire started in the cabin of the car not the engine so a lack of an oil change shouldn't have been the reason this happened. this event has traumatized me and continues to be an enormous burden on me and my family and their lack of caring is beyond disheartening. I easily could have died that day, by all accounts I should have. I would greatly appreciate some sort of follow-up as I feel like I'm just being completely ignored and discredited. I would gladly provide more information as to the actual incident if needed but like I said I have already done so in another report and don't want to do it again if it's just going to be ignored a second time.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-02-01
  • VIN: KMHCT4AE7HU
  • Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
  • Summary: Side marker light in the passenger side (PS) headlight assembly IS NOT working. Headlight (high beam and low beam) and combination turn signal/parking light ARE working. First noticed Feb 2024. Malfunctioning marker light will cause vehicle to fail annual state safety inspection. Problem is not intermittent. Car hasn't been inspected by dealer or other shop, dealer wants $169 to inspect/troubleshoot. Owner evaluation, PS headlight assy, marker light bulb and socket are undamaged, there is no corrosion, car has not been in a crash, functioning bulb/socket from DS installed in PS did not function. Hyundai has issued (at least) 2 technical service bulletins for excessive moisture in headlight assys. Electrical circuit for malfunctioning light is internal to the light fixture. Since 2 of the 3 lights in the headlight assy ARE working, suggests the headlight assembly is at fault. I have yet to check if there is 12V at the wire harness plug on the pin that supplies electricity to the marker light.

AIR BAGS,STRUCTURE,ENGINE PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2023-12-20
  • VIN: KMHCT5AE0HU
  • Components: AIR BAGS,STRUCTURE,ENGINE
  • Summary: October 2017 I purchased a 2017 Hyundai Accent. During my very first month driving this car right bumper clip broke. As I was under warranty took car in complained to the dealership. A tech came out and basically wacked it back in place. So now I notice both left and right sides of bumper are off track. My son is a licensed mechanic. Before I took it back to dealership he had checked and said mom your clip is broke. So he looks back under it again and now BOTH clips are broke. On 9/13/17 go back in. Hyundai notes in my paperwork clips are broke but failed to repair again at a little over 30,000 miles they note it again and failed to repair. This is a safety issue and I feel it should be a recall. The clips are cheap plastic and if it comes off I fear I will be in an accident.I have also been throwing PODS module defect codes and they just keep resetting it.This air light and OCS mat defect has shown up since I first purchased the car. So for 6 years code just keeps getting reset. After calling Hyundai they are FINALLY going to repair it. So my family has been endangered for 6 years. I'm also throwing a catalytic code and that's been going on since a little over 50,000.I called a local Hyundai dealership and was told warrenty only covers a certain part of the converter. I'm at 79,000 and fed mandates say manufacturer must cover it up to 80,000. I don't know what to do and all codes just keep being reset. Car is currently undergoing a fuel consumption test as it's been eating oil like crazy since a little over 50,000.

ENGINE PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2023-08-25
  • VIN: KMHCT4AE9HU
  • Components: ENGINE
  • Summary: This car has a GDI engine, which is now known to be defective due to excessive oil consumption. I bought the car used, with Hyundai's certified inspection before selling it to me. While my daughter was driving the car on the highway, the engine suddenly balked and stopped. She pulled over to the side of the road and called for assistance. As I write this, there is still no recall on anything pertaining to the car. The mechanic said that the catalytic converter was destroyed. Oil consumption had damaged and then destroyed it, which was becoming a known thing about the GDI engines. Hyundai refuses to acknowledge the problem officially, but there is anecdotal information that some drivers with GDI engines are being given new, replacement engines to keep everything under the radar. NOTE: the first catalytic converter went bad before the 100,000 mile warrantee, but Hyundai said that the warrantee didn't cover it. I called a local dealer for an inspection; they told me that they had no one in the bays and they'd call me back. I never received any call back. I cannot afford to buy a new car, so I had a new catalytic converter installed. As predicted, the replacement converter was destroyed, also by oil consumption. I had to replace that one after the warrantee expired. I am now driving on a third catalytic converter, and suspect that it will be destroyed in about another year or so. Meanwhile, I've passed the warrantee period, and Hyundai never even took a look at it before the expiration time. My mechanic told me that Hyundai is trying to keep this quiet, because it would cost them a huge amount of money to replace those GDI engines. Meanwhile, there is a danger that if someone has that engine and doesn't know to keep pouring oil into it, they could seize up on the highway and crash. And they'll have to replace catalytic converters if the engine is not fixed or changed.

AIR BAGS PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2023-10-10
  • VIN: KMHCT4AE7HU
  • Components: AIR BAGS
  • Summary: My airbag check engine light kept going on and off for a couple weeks. A diagnostic was done on it at the auto repair shop and they told me the pods module came back with an error. They said with this malfunction none of the airbags will deploy if there's an accident, which is a huge safety risk. They said it will cost $2500 to fix but Hyundai had an airbag recall out where the airbags will not deploy in an accident, it just didn't include 2017 Hyundai Accent. I believe this may be part of a recall, that 2017 may need to be included in the formal recall. I have an appointment scheduled with a Hyundai dealership to get another diagnostic at the end of November but I'm sure they will say the same thing is wrong. I just want to see if 2017's are actually part of the recall and save other people the trouble of driving a faulty car and having to pay over $2000 for an issue that's actually a recall. This is my family's only car and I won't be able to afford to fix this issue right now, so I'm worried about using the car with faulty airbags and risking everyone's life.

Negative 2017 Hyundai Accent car reviews

  1. Raleigh Doyle 2024-10-03

    Hey there! I just wanted to share my experience with my car. Unfortunately, my motor blew up at 61000 miles, but I wanted to give you a heads up before you make any decisions. I wouldn't recommend buying this car. Take care!

  2. Eldred Beahan 2024-05-09

    I recently traded my 2006 Hyundai Accent for a 2016 model, but unfortunately, I have found that the older car was better in terms of quality, gas mileage, and comfort. One of the biggest drawbacks of the 2016 model is that it doesn't come with a spare tire or tools to change it, which can be a hassle if you experience a flat tire. Additionally, the economy switch that is supposed to improve fuel economy actually seems to have the opposite effect. The trunk and lid are only primered, which is a bit disappointing, and the seats are not as comfortable as I would like. Another issue I have encountered is that the car requires nitro in the tires, which can be inconvenient and expensive to refill. Despite these drawbacks, I have put 24000 miles on the car and have found that it performs decently, although there is some wind and road noise. Overall, while the 2016 Hyundai Accent has its flaws, it is still a decent car that gets the job done.The car still has room for improvement in terms of gas mileage, but we are constantly working to enhance its performance. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to strive for better quality in our cars.

  3. Gussie Ward 2024-02-28

    The issue with this type of car seems to be with the gas line. It may feel like it wants to stop after a long drive, such as from Tulsa to Sapulpa, or when the air conditioner is turned on. We understand how frustrating this can be and we would like to help resolve this issue for you.

  4. Keon Pollich 2024-02-08

    I recently purchased a value edition of the Accent for my daughter after her 2013 Accent was totaled. While the car is not as luxurious as her previous model, it still provides great value for its price. Unfortunately, the car has poor resale value and lacks some of the features that were included in her previous car. Despite this, I am confident that my daughter will enjoy driving it until she reaches the break-even point with her financing. In the future, I will make sure to do more research before making a purchase. It was my mistake not to do so this time.

Positive 2017 Hyundai Accent car reviews

  1. Dion Goldner 2025-01-08

    I haven't had any issues with my car, except for the body parts. It seems like Hyundai needs to improve their body parts, especially the bumpers.

  2. Randall Wisozk 2024-11-27

    The Hyundai Accent is a great choice for an entry-level car. Our particular car may be considered 'plain vanilla', but it provides reliable transportation for everyday commuting. The 60 month/60,000 mile second owner factory warranty makes buying it used a fantastic value, especially since we still have 3 years left with only 24,000 miles. If you're considering buying new, the 100,000/10 year new car warranty is definitely a great reason to do so. You won't have to worry about repairs for a very long time.

  3. Lucious Bayer 2024-11-12

    I hope you're doing well! I wanted to share my experience with my 2016 Hyundai Accent. I purchased it brand new and have been driving it for 84k miles. I'm happy to say that I haven't had a single issue with it! The power is adequate and the fuel economy is excellent. I've gotten as low as 35 miles per gallon and as high as 48.8 miles per gallon. Recently, I changed the oil and checked the front and rear brakes. They're still the original brakes and I'm confident they'll last for at least 150k miles, as long as there are no problems with the rotors or calipers. The car is holding up great, the paint still shines nicely, and the seats show no wear. I'm also pleased to report that the spark plugs are still the original ones and won't need replacing for another 10k miles. One more thing to note is that there's no timing belt to replace. Hyundai now uses all chains which will save you $500-$800 every 60k miles. All in all, if you're looking for affordable transportation, this car is a great choice!

  4. Joshua Schamberger 2024-11-03

    Hi there! I've been driving this car daily for about 3 weeks now and I must say, it's a great little car! It has good acceleration, although I've noticed that when I use eco with the a/c on, it's not as quick. But it stops really well, which is important. Plus, it's stylish and cute! You might be surprised to know that it's actually roomier than it looks, and the doors open wide, which is really convenient. And let's not forget about the good storage/cargo space! Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase.

  5. Billy Franecki 2024-10-13

    The paint on my 8-year-old car with 35,000 kms is starting to peel and flake off. As an expert in the automotive industry, I recommend taking immediate action to address this issue.
