I have a 12 day old Hyundai Accent 2012. I got the GL automatic transmission with a 1.4L engine.
I noticed a rattling sound inside the engine bay after a week of using the new ACCENT.
It rattles when the engine is at medium effort. Usually i hear this kind of rattling sound with my 20 year old Mazda, but with a 12 day old car? WHAT?!
Got it serviced with Hyundai but they think it's the unleaded gasoline that's causing it, but they don't recommend using the high octane one. Talking with the technicians there, a lot of 2012 Accent owners already came back to the shop to complain about their rattling sound in the engine bay and i was not the worse sounding one. They did'nt get mine fixed so as the other complainants, and they said that they will get back to us when they get a confirmation from their regional office on what to do with the problem.
I will record my rattling sound tonight by placing a small microphone inside the engine bay and post it youtube. Maybe Hyundai will notice. I even tried emailing Hyundai but of no effect for their site errors when you post problems.
I'm very dissapointed, I did'nt buy a second hand car to relieve myself of problems and still this is what i get(a BNEW - used car sounding engine car).
