Has your Hyundai ever broke down or left you stranded on the road
I looked and haven't found any threads on this. Could be some interesting stories. My car has never broke down although, while driving a couple of long trips, I did get a couple of flat tires. My backseat and hatch was full of stuff so I had to get it all out so I could get my spare tire out.. Other than that, my car has proven to be a very reliable vehicle. Discuss.

The Accent has left me stranded twice.
Once was a crappy alarm install but took me 2 days to figure out the problem.
The other my camshaft position sensor went out and left me and a car full of family stranded in a Jack in the Box parking lot in a bad part of town about 20 miles from where I live at 2:00am. I stayed the night in the car because it was not a good idea to leave it sitting there. I almost had to shoot someone. A big group of thugs stopped and hopped out and surrounded my car. Three of them were staring at me glaring through the front windows. I had a pistol in each hand under my jacket pointed at the two guys at the front doors. IMO they were trying to decide whether I was worth messing with. I think the lack of concern that I had for being surrounded and outnumbered six to one was a little unsettling to them, so they left without giving me any trouble.
The Tib's canister purge valve left the wife stranded until the gas fumes dissipated enough to start, but IIRC that's all it's done.
