2016 Hyundai Accent

The car was rented by a Turo host with defectuous brakes and worn-out tires. During 3 weeks and 3400 Mi, forward disk brakes produced a thud of metallic grinding without effective braking at each brake. Forward tires were measured 2/32" and 'Replace Tire' marking were noticed on the treads. Rear tires were measured 3/32" and 'Replacement Tire Monitor' marking were noticed on the treads. A rear tire exploded on a straight line, between 55 and 60 Mph, the burst fortunately did not cause any swerve and the vehicle was able to be stopped on a few meters. During the journey, the driver's seat belt sometimes unlocks unexpectelly, even if initial locking has been checked by pulling on the buckle.

THIS VEHICLE IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A FACTORY FURNISHED SPARE TIRE/WHEEL NOR TOOLS TO REMOVE A TIRE/WHEEL. I HAD A FLAT TIRE, CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE BUT THEY COULD ONLY TOW ME TO A REPAIR FACILITY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A SPARE TIRE/WHEEL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE IN A REMOTE AREA, DON'T HAVE PHONE COMMUNICATIONS, DISASTERS AND SUCH, OR REPAIR FACILITY THAT IS 100'S OF MILES AWAY OR CLOSED.
