Is the accent suspension hard road noise and bumpy ride? mine too.. i thought it was the tires or psi..

 

Its the shocks or struts. I've learned that Hyundai has serious issues with the shocks and struts they use on their vehicles. I've had all four replaced on mine. 2 front struts. 2 rear shocks. The car is a 2012 Accent. The car rode VERY harsh in the front end since the day I drove it off the showroom floor (new.) The rear shocks started making a clunking noise at about 10,000 miles. The dealer replaced them and the clunking stopped. But the front suspension continued to ride extremely harsh. I was finally able to convince the dealer to replace the front struts. The car immediately began riding like a Cadillac in the front. But now, about 15,000 mi later, the harshness has returned. I'm not sure if its the cold weather or the guts are coming apart inside the struts or whatever, but regardless, the ride quality should not change. A guy who works in a Hyundai parts department at a dealership told me that "We see a lot of bad struts and shocks on the Hyundais." I know its true because I've lived with this car for 2 1/2 years.

Totally second that. Go and check the shocks. God knows how many times Ive had to replace them!
