AFTER I SEE I HAVE A RECALL IN THE NHTSA WEBPAGE, I TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN TORRANCE, CA. AS A RESULT I WAS TOLD "THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING AND CAN'T PROVIDE A SOLUTION OR AN AGENCY TO CLEAR OUT THIS ISSUE". THE PROBLEM IS THAT: "IF THE COMPRESSOR ACCESSORY IS CONNECTED TO THE 12V OUTLET TO INFLATE A TIRE WILL POSSIBLY CAUSE AN OVERHEAT AT THE CAR OUTLET". I STATED: "I DON'T HAVE SUCH ACCESSORY AND I HAVE A REGULAR SPARE TIRE". AFTER THAT WAS CONFIRMED I REQUESTED TO CLEAR THE RECALL SINCE I DON'T HAVE THAT ACCESSORY AND ONLY THAT ACCESSORY CAUSE THE PROBLEM TO THE OUTLET. THAT DIDN'T CHANGE THEIR ATTITUDE TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION AND THE TECHNICIAN RAYMOND SAID: "WE ARE SORRY BUT THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO". IN MY OPINION DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO TAG A CAR "UNSAFE WITH A RECALL" FOR AN EXTERNAL ACCESSORY THAT IS NOT EVEN IN THE CAR OR IN THE MARKET. SOLUTION 1: CREATE A PERMANENT STICKER AND SET NEXT TO THE 12V OUTLET "DO NOT CONNECT DEVICES THAT CONSUME MORE THAN (WHAT EVER ARE THE AMPS OR WATTS THAT CAUSE THE OVERHEAT) SOLUTION 2: DISSEMBLE THE 12V OUTLET AND RE-ASSEMBLE WITH THE CORRECT TORQUE ADD TO THE RECALL "MINOR ISSUE, CAR PERFORMANCE IS NOT IN DANGER"

I WAS WASHING MY 2012 ACCENT IN MAY OF 2013 AND I NOTICED WHAT I THOUGHT TO BE DIRT ABOVE THE HATCHBACK WINDOW. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I NOTICED THAT IT WAS A RUST SPOT COMING UP FROM UNDER THE PAINT AND CLEAR COAT. THERE WAS ONLY A SPOT ABOUT THE SIZE OF A NUMBER TWO PENCIL POINT. AS OF TODAY( 4-13-14) THERE ARE FIVE SPOTS OF RUST COMING UP ALL OF VARIOUS SIZE AND NOW I FOUND ONE ON MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR. HAS ANYONE ELSE REPORTED RUST COMING FROM UNDER THE PAINT ? WHICH TO ME MEANS THE RECYCLED METAL WHEN SMELTED DID NOT REMOVE THE RUST DURING THE PROCESS. *JS
