Hyundai Accent owners have reported a total of 2,530 problems for their cars built in the 27 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Hyundai Accent. The 2012 Hyundai Accent cars have the most problems reported (217 problems).
The following chart shows the 30 most common problems for Hyundai Accent cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's air bags (404 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's engine and engine cooling (335 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Hyundai Accent of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Accent model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Hyundai Accent model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
