Anyone here who experienced battery issues within the first year of ownership?
Hopefully some definitive data can be posted here.
Something along the lines of...
1.) Did you experience battery issues within the first year of ownership?
2.) If yes, is it a diesel / gasoline variant?
3.) Was there a definite finding that the battery was the issue, or caused by some other part like alternator?
Thanks!
*** Hi Mods, can we post a survey here so we can gather some data? Thanks! ***

i was new and naive to car ownership then, and so i purchased a new alternator. i could have argued, that an alternator that dies in its first year of use, is a lemon of a factory defect.
this was when brand new cars were already warrantied for 3 years.
FWIW, I have this impression that Hyundai is still weak on electrical systems. We had issues with a couple of Getz from a decade ago where the battery got discharged (which later on proved to be an alternator fault), but the system failed to light up the not-charging caution light. Both happened outside of warranty and we had to shell out around 18k for a new alternator and associated services, each. It didn't happen at the same time, though, but it was too close to be a coincidence. Sold both cars within about year or so later.
Yes po.Quote:

I told him it's the battery, instead of replacing it he chose that his vehicle be brought to casa by a special flat bed truck.
He spent more than the cost of the battery. :twak2:
Yes this is what I'm referring to. Was there a definitive finding that its the battery that caused the problem?Quote:

I just want to see real data about battery issues with Accent, not just guesstimates.Quote:

If you want to see "real data" and not just anecdotal evidence, looks like you'll need access to the dealerships' service records mismo hehehe...

Now replaced it with 3sm. Ok lang kaya yun mga sir?
