One problem related to transmission noise has been reported for the 1999 Hyundai Accent. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
We brought this car in may 0f 1999. At 4,000 miles the transmission blew a large hole and almost caused us too have an accident. This problem was fixed for us, at no cost to us. Under warranty. On 12/30/99 we had the car towed to the dealer because the car was making a clicking noise. When they did an inspection they told us that the car need a new transmission. They told us that this time it was because of abuse. The car is driven by myself, my husband & also my son. This repair we had to pay for. My concern is that we think that Hyundai should honor the warranty, and refund us the money that we paid already for the repair. We think that this is a defect on the transmission and we should not have to pay for this.
