2010 HYUNDAI ACCENT
This model year
What the record shows
The 2010 Hyundai Accent is a compact car, and the 20th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1991 to 2022.
The EPA rated two configurations: a single 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive only, two transmissions and running on regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy is 30 mpg.
The federal record holds 87 owner complaints, 1 safety recall and 35 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
