2010 Hyundai Accent

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20MPH WHEN I HEARD A BREAKING NOISE FROM UNDERNEATH MY 2010 HYUNDAI ACCENT WHEN I LOST STEERING POWER, THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK AND THE ACCELERATOR AS WELL. THIS CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR RESULTING IN ME CRASHING INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. THANK GOD IT WASN'T ON A HWY GOING 65-70 MPH. I SEE THERE AREN'T ANY RECALLS ON ANY OF THE MENTIONED PROBLEMS. ALSO TO NOTE I HAD TO REPLACE A COIL PACK THAT I READ ANOTHER OWNER HAD PROBLEMS AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I'M THINKING THERE'S ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THAT TOO. THANKS HYUNDAI FOR NOT KEEPING YOUR CONSUMERS SAFE. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE IN ACCIDENTS CAUSE OF MANUFACTURE DEFECTS BEFORE THEY INVESTIGATE AND ISSUE A RECALL. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HYUNDAI. BUYER BE WARNED! *TR

2010 HYUNDAI ACCENT REAR BRAKE LIGHTS AND THE REAR WINDSHIELD BRAKE LIGHT DO NOT LIGHT UP WHEN I PRESS ON THE PEDAL. I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF COMPLAINTS ON FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I REPLACED THE FUSES, THE BULBS, AND THEY STILL DO NOT WORK. I RESEARCHED THIS AND HYUNDAI HAS 4 CONSECUTIVE YEARS 2006-2009 WHERE THERE IS A MALFUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND I PLAN ON LETTING THE DEALER KNOW THIS WHEN I GO THERE TOMORROW. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD REPLACE THIS FREE OF CHARGE GIVEN THE HISTORY OF THIS. I ALSO TRIED CONTACTING HYUNDAI DIRECTLY AND SAID UNLESS THERE IS A RECALL THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THIS. STATED DEALERS ARE INDEPENDENT AND I WOULD HAVE TO TALK TO DEALER ABOUT RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH BECAME DEFECTIVE INTERMITTENTLY, APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES AGO. IT HAS NOW FAILED COMPLETELY. APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM: HTTP://WWW.AUTOBLOG.COM/2013/04/03/HYUNDAI-KIA-RECALLING-1-6M-MORE-MODELS-FOR-FAULTY-BRAKE-SWITCH/ THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, SO I WANTED YOU TO KNOW. *TR

THE VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE BROKE AND JUST HANGS THERE. THE BRAKES NOW ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS HAVE FAILED TO STOP THE CAR AT SLOW SPEEDS. WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED IT FEELS AS THOUGH THEY ARE CRUMBLING. AND THE CAR JERKS AROUND. HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE TO BE TOLD THAT ITS JUST WHAT ANTI LOCK BRAKES DO. I HAVE NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN ON ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED WITH ANTILOCK BRAKES. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER HYUNDAI AGAIN, NOR WILL I EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THAT DEALERSHIP. *TR

FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE (MAY 21,12) EACH AND EVERY MORNING WHEN I FIRST APPLY THE BRAKES THEY LOCK UP. IT SO FAR HAS NEVER HAPPENED ANY OTHER TIME. IT HAS BEEN CHECKED BY DEALER AND NO PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN FOUND. I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF VIDEO TAPING THIS AND BRINGING IT IN TO SHOW THEM. IT HAD 30,600 MILES WHEN I PURCHASED IT. THERE WAS ONE TIME WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND IT DIDN'T STOP,I ATTRIBUTED THIS TO MY BEING TIRED,NOW I AM NOT SO SURE. THE ONE THING I DO KNOW IS NOT HAVING FAITH IN YOUR BRAKES IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. *TR
