2017 Hyundai Accent

I BOUGHT IT USED WITH 63,000 MILES AROUND 11/8/20, EVERYTHING WAS GOING GOOD, AND ONE DAY I NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. OVER A THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON & IF I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN, IT WOULD TURN OFF BUT COME BACK ON A COUPLE MINUTES LATER. I LOOKED IT UP, AND IT TALKED ABOUT A POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM OR THE AIRBAG SENSOR. I ALSO NOTICED THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD THE AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUE WITH THEIR HYUNDAI VEHICLES, MOSTLY THE ACCENT MODELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI ACCENT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

IN OCTOBER OF 2020 THE CAR HAD AN OIL CHANGE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I STARTED TO HEAR A TICKING NOISE. WHEN I GOT TO MY HOUSE WE STARTED TO INVESTIGATE WHAT WAS GOING ON. FIRST WE CHECKED THE OIL WHICH WAS NOTHING BUT FUMES BUT THE OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. CONFUSED AS TO WHY THERE WAS NO OIL WE KEPT INVESTIGATING BECAUSE AS STATED BEFORE THE CAR HAD AN OIL CHANGE THE MONTH PRIOR. WE REPLACED THE OIL YET AGAIN AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE TICKING KEPT GETTING LOUDER EVEN WITH OIL BEING CHECKED DAILY. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD BE IT WAS MY ROD BERINGS I WAS GIVEN A QUOTE TO FIX IT IN WHICH WE AGREED I COULD FIX IT BUT IT WOULD TAKE SOME TIME FOR ME TO GET THE MONEY. ON SATURDAY DECEMBER 6TH I WENT TO PICK MY CAR UP FROM THE MECHANIC UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET THE MONEY TO FIX IT. WHILE DRIVING IT HOME I KEPT SMELLING A BURNING SCENT BUT WAS UNABLE TO ACCESS IT ON THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF ALL EXTRAS IN THE CAR (HEATER , RADIO EVERYTHING THAT WASN'T CRITICAL TO DRIVING AT THE MOMENT ). I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME TAKING IT AS A EASY SPEED AND NOT TRYING TO OVERDO IT. WHEN I REACHED THE 4 WAY STOP RIGHT BY HOUSE THE CAR WAS STILL TICKING AND I SAT AT THE SIGN BEHIND SOME CARS, THE MINUTE IT WAS MY TURN TO GO FROM THE SIGN THE CAR STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THANKFULLY I WASN'T ON A MAJOR ROAD AND HAD ENOUGH TIME TO HIT MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO MY HOUSE. I TRULY BELIEVE THE 2017 HYUNDAI ACCENT IS HAVING THE SAME RECALL AS SOME OF THE OTHER BUT THE CAR ISN'T LISTED. THIS PROBLEM WAS REPORTED AT THE START TO HYUNDAI CORPORATE OFFICE THEY TOOK MY NAME AND COMPLAINT BUT NO ONE HAS EVER FOLLOWED UP ON THE PROBLEM.

WOW ENTERING THE HIGHWAY MY CAR STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC THE NEVER CUT OUT JUST WILL NOT DRIVE MORE THAN ABOUT 5 MILES AN HOUR EVEN WITH PUTTING MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE PEDAL TURN IT OFF FOR 30 MINUTES STARTED BACK UP STARTED DRIVING START OUT AGAIN ALMOST CAUSING ME TO WRECK MULTIPLE TIMES NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING POPPED UP I STILL HAVE NO LIGHTS ON MY DASH AND IT IS STILL NOT DRIVABLE HAD TO GET IT TOWED BY AAA I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW DID YOU RECORD THAT IS 3 YEARS OLD IS HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH NO WARNING I'M VERY BLESSED THAT MY CHILDREN WEREN'T IN THE CAR CONSIDERING THE DIESELS COMING BEHIND ME WHY ARE THE HIGHWAYS WITH THIS HAPPENING ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR DOES NOT SHUT DOWN IT JUST LOSES POWER FAR AS DRIVING ACCELERATING

NOT EXACTLY SURE WHEN BUT MY 'PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF' LIGHT STARTED TO RANDOMLY APPEAR AND NEVER TURNS OFF DESPITE THERE BEING A PASSENGER. ALSO MY BACK SEATS WOULD NOT LATCH CLOSED, CREATING AN UNSAFE RIDING TIME FOR A CHILD IN A BOOSTER SEAT. WHICH IS A HUGE CONCERN BECAUSE I FREQUENTLY PROVIDE RIDES FOR TWO YOUNG CHILDREN MY AIR CONDITIONING UNIT BECOMES SO HOT THAT MY FEET ARE LITERALLY BURNING ME. I END UP TAKING MY SOCKS AND SHOES OFF DUE TO HOW HOT IT GETS. THE MOTOR FOR THE ENGINE IS INCREDIBLY LOUD DESPITE THE SMALL AMOUNT OF MILES. I HAVE ISSUES WITH ACCELERATING FROM STOP

AT APPROXIMATELY 22,000 MILES MY 2017 ACCENT'S BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NO LONGER WORK. MY TAIL LIGHTS ARE ON BUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATE BRIGHTER WHILE BRAKING WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE THE FUSE WITH AN IDENTICAL ONE, BOUGHT NEW LIGHT BULBS, AND WILL NOW BE TAKING IT INTO A DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE IT IS THE BRAKE SWITCH THAT IS FAULTY BUT I AM UNSURE. UT THEY ARE BOOKED FOR WEEKS AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY/LEGAL ISSUE. RECALL NUMBER 131

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM DEFECT. MY CAR WAS ONLY 2,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY AND HYUNDAI WILL NOT COVER THIS DEFECT. RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR MAT IS FAULTY CAUSING THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO COME ON. I'VE DONE MY RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS IS PRETTY COMMON. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING TO SPEND $1,400 TO GET IT FIXED.

THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE IN MY 2017 HYUNDAI ACCENT. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE HEADQUARTER HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO HAVE THE DANGEROUS PROBLEM FIXED. AFTER THE 3RD TIME I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM, I TOOK IT AGAIN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR IS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM IS THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD AS MY BRAKES LOCK UP CAUSING THE FRONT TIRES TO LOCK UP THUS CAUSING MY CAR TO CONTINUE FORWARD WITHOUT ANY ABS SYSTEM BEING USED BY THE CAR BRAKING SYSTEM TO KEEP THE FRONT TIRES FROM LOCKING UP. ON THE THIRD TIME I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES.) NOT AT HIGH SPEEDS. IN FACT HE SAID HE COULD MAKE THE WHEELS LOCK UP GOING LESS THAN 3 MPH.) HOWEVER HE STATED BECAUSE THE COMPUTER ANALYSIS REPORTED NO ISSUES, HE COULD NOT REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART. AND I QUOTE HE SAID " BECAUSE IT WOULD CAUSE A NATIONAL RECALL OF ALL THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA, ACCENT, SONATA AND GENESIS YRS 2017 THRU 2019. ". I HOPE TO DEAR GOD SOMEONE TAKES SOME ACTION ON THIS ISSUE. I AM GOING TO CONTACT A LARGE LAW FIRM TO START A CLASS ACTION SUIT TO PROTECT ALL DRIVERS OF THESE CARS AND THE INNOCENT DRIVERS ON THE ROAD THAT COULD BE INJURED OR KILLED BY THIS NEGLIGENT RESPONSE TO A LIFE AND DEATH BRAKING SYSTEM DEFECT. I EVEN LOOKED UP ON A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND THIS BRAKING PROBLEM ON ALL OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED CARS. PLEASE TAKE SOME ACTION ON THIS PROBLEM.!!!!!!!!

OCCASIONALLY WHEN YOU ACCELERATE IT HESITATES AND DOES NOT RESPOND. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A MECHANIC AND A DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM BUT IT DOES HAPPEN. IT IS DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A VERY BUSY ROAD WHERE I LIVE THIS IS A SIDE STREET ENTERING A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY OR MOST ANYTIME. IT IS RANDOM IT HAPPENS EVER SINCE CAR WAS PURCHASED CAN'T GIVE EXACT DATE
