Phoenix is demanding on a Hyundai Accent 5. Extreme heat, stop-and-go traffic and long highway miles on the I-17, the 51 and the Loop 101 all show up as wear. Below are the Hyundai Accent 5 problems owners report most often, what each one looks like from the driver's seat, and how we fix it.
Most Common Hyundai Accent 5 Problems in Phoenix
Ranked by owner complaints filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for the Accent 5. Counts reflect reports filed, not the share of vehicles affected.
1. Engine
114 NHTSA owner complaints for the Accent 5 mention the engine and cooling system (26% of 433 reviewed).
What it looks like:
- Check engine light or rough idle
- Overheating or coolant smell
- Loss of power or poor mileage
- Oil leaks or low oil
What we do: Engine and cooling complaints are best caught early in Phoenix, where heat pushes cooling systems and engine oil to their limits. We diagnose warning lights and check coolant, hoses and oil condition. See our check engine light diagnostics and oil change & maintenance pages.

What it looks like:

What we do: Airbag and restraint issues are often tied to open safety recalls, which are repaired by the manufacturer at no cost to you. Check your VIN on NHTSA's recall lookup first, and we can help with related warning lights and diagnostics. See our auto repair page.

What it looks like:
