2015 Hyundai Accent

YESTERDAY, ON MARCH 26, 2021 DURING ROAD TRIP AN AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WITHOUT NO REASON AND IT STILL STAYS ON. ON MARCH 27, 2021 I CALLED MY DEALER TO GET HELP. I WAS TRYING TO ASK THEM TO WAIVE INSPECTION FEE BECAUSE IT IS SAFETY CONCERN, BUT THEY SAID "NO". MY CAR IS 6 YEARS OLD, 66,000 MILEAGE. I AM FIRST OWNER AND THIS CAR WAS NEVER INVOLVED IN ANY CRASH. BECAUSE OF PRESENT COVID19 CRISIS I HAVE NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY UPFRONT FOR SPECIAL INSPECTIONS. I HOPE THAT I WILL GET HELP IN YOUR DEPARTMENT.

I CHANGE MY OIL ON THE DATE THAT IT'S DUE IT MY MILES WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. I WAS OUT OF TOWN 2-20-21. THE CAR WAS DRIVING REALLY ROUGH.. RED LIGHT CAME IN THEN OFF. THE NEXT DAY, MY BOYFRIEND TOOK IT TO GET AND OIL CHANGE WHICH I STILL HAD 1,000 MILES UNTIL THE NEXT OIL CHANGE. THEY TOLD HIM IT WAS THE OIL PUMP. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED BC I FAITHFULLY CHANGE MY OIL. I HAVEN'T BEEN DRIVING IT BC THEY SAID IT WILL BLOW UP THE MOTOR. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT TOWED AND FIXED. IT'S GOING TO COST OVER $600.00. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE THEY SAY IT'S TO NEW OF A CAR TO HAVE THE OIL PUMP MESS UP.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, CAR DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT GO PAST 5 MPH. HAD TO GET IT TOWED. THROTTLE BODY REPLACED AND NOW NEEDS THE THE CATALYT CONVERTER REPLACED IN WHICH I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS. THERE IS AN ONGOING "TICKING/CLICKING" SOUND IN THE ENGINE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS CURRENTLY ON. WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A RED LIGHT, THE CAR ENGINE REVVED AND THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE. CAR MADE A JERKING MOVE SO I THREW THE GEAR INTO N AND THEN PARK TO STOP THE REVVING. CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED

1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASING CAR, I HAD A CHECK ENGINE SENSOR SHOW UP. I TOOK IT IN AND A DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWED AN O2 SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I REPLACED IT AND THE PART WAS DEFECTIVE, SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED IT AGAIN, AFTER WHICH IT APPEARED TO BE FINE. THEN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS LATER, IT BEGAN TO RUN POORLY AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND SEEMED TO NOT BE GETTING FUEL OR OXYGEN OR SOMETHING. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND ENDED UP HAVING A CATALYTIC CONVERTER PUT IT FOR OVER $500. IT RAN FINE FOR MAYBE A MONTH AFTER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN, IT WAS RUNNING POORLY AGAIN, LOSING POWER ALMOST STALLING OUT WHEN PUSHING ACCELERATOR, IT SMELLED LIKE BURNT OIL. I HAD OIL CHECKED AND CHANGED 3 TIMES DURING THE TIME THIS ALL WAS HAPPENING TOO BECAUSE OF THE SMELL OF BURNING OIL. EACH TIME THE OIL CHANGE WAS DONE THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID IT APPEARED NOT O HAVE BEEN CHANGED BECAUSE IT WAS BLACK AND BURNT AND LOW, WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE, DUE TO HOW FREQUENTLY I WAS HAVING IT CHECKED AND CHANGED NOT KNOWING WHAT ELSE TO DO!!! ULTIMATELY, ON MY WAY TO MY PARENTS HOUSE THE ENGINE BLEW AND SMOKE POURED OUT FROM UNDER IT AND IT WOULD NOT RUN AGAIN AND IT APPEARED TO BE BURNING. UPON INSPECTION THERE WAS A HOLE MELTED INTO THE ENGINE BLOCK!!!! I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLES PERFORMANCE. I HAD THE VEHICLE FROM 2017 TO MARCH OF 2020, STILL OWE MONEY ON IT AND CANNOT DRIVE IT OR AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED. THIS ENGINE FAILURE WAS NOT MY FAULT OR DUE TO MY FAILURE TO PROPERLY CAR FOR THE CAR. THIS IS A HYUNDAI ISSUE AND IT IS TIME SOMEONE BE MADE AWARE THAT THIS HAPPENED TO WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE LONG CONSUMER, BUT NEVER AGAIN!!!!
