Usb port issues

As you accelerate, the usb flash will disconnect and back!!! Tried few of those usb/aux to see if the problem was caused by the port, but same issue! Changed the original radio with a different original one, worked well for 2 hrs and same problem existed again! After going deep into the issue, the 5v power was dropping to around 1.2v during acceleration! Checked everything there was to check!!! Replacing an alternator regulator was an issue as well-made! Once you take off the controls, the alternator worked just fine, but with controls connected, it charges well when stopping and didn't charge while driving Made! Made me hate the car which I have just bought!!! 64000 miles only!!!

Money would be better spent on a used car

I purchased what's now "the top of the line" Accent, a value edition for my daughter after she totalled her 2013 Accent. This car is maybe one step above a stripped rental car. The quality of the interior is cheaper and less attractive than her 2013, the her 2013, which wasn't a top of the line Accent came with fog lights, auto dimming review mirror with compass, better quality interior and you were actually able to purchase a jack and spare tire for that car. I regret buying this car for her now but to late to get rid of it, it's only one month old and has a horrible resale value. Even the Hyundai dealer I bought it from didn't want to work with us to trade it in on a used Elantra. Poor resale value, absolutely bare minimum extras for a top of the line model, very dated styling, almost as if Hyundai went back to the Excel days of the 80's but without the cheap price. Guess she's stuck with this till she hits the break even point with her financing. Makes me think twice before buying a Hyundai again. In hinesight, the Kia Rio, which is their bottom of the line car is actually a better car. My own fault for not doing more research plus was under pressure as she needed a car quickly for getting to and from work, public transportation where we live is horrible.

The fault in this type of car is in the gas line. It’ll act like it wants to stop after I’ve traveled like say from Tulsa to sapulpa, or turning on my air conditioner. NOT happy 🤬

While clearly designed more for city use, the Accent gets fantastic gas mileage while traveling at 70-80mph. I regularly get 42-47 MPG driving on the highway, once I hit city driving it can do about 28 MPG in short distance stop-and-go driving. Our Accent has no options at all, it doesn't even have cruise control, but it has also cost nothing to repair since it was bought brand new back in 2016. The engine is quiet, the transmission is slushy but well tuned, and the seats are relatively comfortable. The only issue with the car is that the third brake light burned out, which seems to be a big issue with any Hyundai that originated in the early 2010s era.
