Why is my 2013 Hyundai Accent using so much more gas after I got it back from the dealership?

It has 7500 miles and i took it in for a schedule maintenance check after getting it back it is using way more gas and getting way less gas mileage.

SOURCE: 2002 Hyundai Accent 1.6 Check engine code

Take/Tow your vehicle to an authorized Hyundai dealership and pay the diagnostic fee... they will tell you exactly what the problem is and the cost of parts/labor to fix it... at least this way you'll know what the problem is and what's required to fix it.Go to www.hmaservice.com and register( Vehicle by VIN). Afterward, you have access to shop manuals, service bulletins, wiring diagrams, etc. about your vehicle.

SOURCE: 2004 hyundai accent audio fuse blowing

Either the radio itself has developed an internal short, or there is a short along the wiring from the fuse box to the radio. It is one or the other. If the fuse blows with the radio turned off, then the problem is a short in the wiring from the fuse box to the radio. In that case, its time to try to crawl up under your car's dash and hopefully find where the wiring has rubbed against a piece of metal and shorted out.

SOURCE: Poor Fuel Mileage 2006 Hyundai Sonata 2.4 motor

I don't know from where you bought the car but do you feel certain that typical causes such as fouled plugs or clogged air filters are not at fault?
Most dealers, even the shlocks don't normally skimp on the simple stuff but who knows about a private source?
That does seem low, especially the city numbers. I don't think Hyundai is any leader in gas mileage but they are better than what you are getting.

SOURCE: Can't get gas into my 2002 Hyundai Accent.

The reason the gas station pump shuts off is when the fuel reaches the tip of the gas nozzle, so when you are filling your car and the gas nozzle (gas stations pipe) keeps shutting off it means that the pipe that runs to the gas tank is not open completely, what happens is when you pump the gas in the car the supply pipe from the gas tank opening to the tank fills up quickly and this causes the gas station pipe nozzle to shut off, have some body take down the gas tank and have a look at the gas tank opening and also gas supply pipe that runs from the gas filler opening ( on the car body) to the gas tank. Have a look at it and please don't forget to rate the answer if it was helpful, thanks!

SOURCE: I have a 2008 hyundai accent. My check engine

A misfire is usually caused by bad plugs or spark plug wires or (on some models) a worn-out distributor cap. The service garage should have fixed that. If they replaced just one plug or wire, chances are one of the others has gone out - plugs and wires are usually changed as a set unless the owner is too hard up for cash to buy them all at once or there is obvious physical damage to just one.

A dirty or failed fuel injector could also cause misfires, but make sure you have proper ignition first since that is more probable.

Wasn't Hyundai one of the first companies to advertise that their cars could go 100,000 miles before needing a tuneup? Check the recommended maintenance schedule in your owner's manual to see what you are likely to need.

How to change fuel filter in 2008 accent

Ok, so I've searched the endless possibilities of the web; watched video after video; read article after article; searched underneath my 2008 Hyundai Accent from rear to front and back again, to no avail. I finally gave up and called a dealership. Turns out that the fuel filter is located ON TOP of the gas tank. As helpful as the diagram Paul posted is, I can't get to the fuel filter the same way as the pump underneath the back seat. According to the technician I spoke to, I have to drop the gas tank to change the fuel filter. What a pain in the @$&

Does the 2006 accent have a timing belt or chain, and what is the recommended change schedule? If the belt breaks, will it ruin the engine?

It uses a belt. The maintenance schedule is to replace it every 60,000 miles or every 5 years (whichever occurs first). The 1.6 L engine is an 'interferrence' engine which means if the engine valve timing jumps, the pistion heads will strike the valves if they're open when they should be closed/closing.

No they just pulled a code and sold you a part. An evaporative emission system is very complicated with valves, solenoids, and lines. Any malfunctioning parts or other leaks in the system will set codes. This MUST be checked by a professional that has access to a smoke machine to look for leaks and test solenoids for proper operation. Guessing will just leave you with an empty wallet.

Since the original problem had not been properly diagnosed, and now the cut hose has complicated the issue, it's impossible to troubleshoot/diagnose it here. The solution was to have it properly diagnosed from the start.
