NO ELEVATED SIGNAL
25%

No elevated drivetrain complaint concentration in the available NHTSA records for the 2010 Hyundai Accent. Engine, transmission and fuel system account for 25% of relevant complaints.
Better than 79% of the 1,230 model years we track (2010–2023).
Excludes 26 airbag, lighting and seat-belt recall complaints that would otherwise mask the signal (unadjusted: 17%).
