2010 Hyundai Accent

Brake line corrosion and leak on drivers side. Location approximately where drivers door meets passenger door. It appears that all of the brake lines except a one foot section in the above location are coated with a hard rubber for corrosion protection. The one foot section in question however is raw metal which is "protected" on the bottom side by a removable plastic covering. The covering is clearly inadequate as the brake line rusted through, potentially causing a serious accident. I notice that Canada has some recalls on Hyandai vehicles other than the Accent for rusty brake lines.

The wiring connection between the blower motor into the hvac resistor is melting. There looks to be burn marks on the plastic female plug that goes into the resistor. I sometimes smell like plastic is burning. I have to keep fan at MAX speed to not use the resistor at all. I believe this could be a fire hazard.

Whenever I get gas even when I pump really slow when I go to remove the nozzle gas spurts out. I have had the charcoal cannister replaced as well as replacing the gas cap but it still happens. This is very dangerous since gas is leaking onto the car and area surrounding it.

Last week my airbag red light came on out of no where, no accident led to this.This car has been maintained and any repairs done in a TIMELY FASHION I CALLED HYUNDAI HEADQUARTERS AND SPOKE TO A SUPERVISOR. SHE WENT ON AND ON ABOUT EVERYTHING BUT WHAT I WAS CALLING ABOUT. SHE THEN DEVULGED SOME INTERESTING ISSUES REGARDING MY VEHICLE. FIRST SHE SAID THERE WAS A RECALL. ON MY VEHICLE.I BELIEVE SHE SAID 944, WHICH SHE SAID WAS A RUST ISSUE RECALL ON THE UNDERCARRIGE. SHE THEN WENT ON TO SAY THE PASSENGER SIDE SAFETY was an issue and complaints from other accent owners of airbag light SHE THEN SAID OH I BET THATS WHY YOU AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON . SHE DID ALSO SPkEAK OF MY CAR HAVING SOME SORT OF EXTENDED FACTORY WARRANTY., CALLING IT EITHER A TXX OR POSSIBLY PXX WHATEVER THAT MEANS. I HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS ONLY TO FIND OUT THERE ARE MANY HYUNDAI ACCENTS THAT HAVE HAD airbag IREPAIRED FOR FREE. I WAS NOT TOLD THAT MINE WOULD ALSO BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. DUE TO MY PERSISTENCE THEY EXPEDIATED MY COMPLAINT TO A CASE MANAGER WHOM I SHOULD HEAR FROM IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. MY CASE NUMBER IS 18924458. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS? IT OBVIOUSLY IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND HAS OCCURRED IN MANY ACCENTS. What should I do until I hear from case manager? What happens if I disagree with the case workers decision? I do have receipts for close to $ 2,000 worth of routine maintence and repairs which I will upload to you depending on the findings of the case manager.

The air bags randomly stopped working. I was not in a collision or near anything that would have made my air bags deploy or stop working. I have two air bag lights that are staying on to let me know that the airbags are not working. I had a mechanic do a free consultation and he could not find anything wrong with the airbags besides the airbag being faulty.

The driver-side sun visor was falling off during driving when the visor hung at the left (the hanging rod broke from inside) and it's dangous because I could not see. It's definately a safty issue that are talked broadly and a recall is neccessary.

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY IN THE RAIN WHEN SOME CARS IN FRONT OF ME STARTED TO STOP. I SLOWED DOWN BUT AS I HIT THE BREAKS THE CAR DIDN'T RESPOND. I PRESSED THE PEDAL MORE AND NOTHING HAPPENED, THEN IT WENT DOWN ALL THE WAY. I MOVED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO PREVENT A CRASH BUT IT STILL HAPPENED. MY CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF EITHER AND I HAD NO BREAK LIGHT INDICATING THAT MY BREAKS WOULD FAIL OR THAT THEY WERE FAULTY.

THE BREAK LIGHTS ARE NOT ILLUMINATING. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALL ON MY CAR AFTER PURCHASE AND I DON'T THINK IT WAS EVER REPAIRED. MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS CONTINUOUSLY ON EVEN THOUGH DIAGNOSTICS HAVE BEEN RAN AND NO CODE COMES UP.

HYUNDAI BRAKE RECALL. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED AS OF YET BUT I NEED THE ISSUE CORRECTED TO PREVENT ANY ISSUES.

CAR STOPPED RUNNING. TIMING BELT BROKE RESULTING IN RUINED ENGINE REQUIRING FULL ENGINE REPLACEMENT. MILEAGE WAS 63K.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NO ERROR CODES POPULATED, BUT THE LATE CAME BACK ON TWO WEEKS LATER. DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND ANY ISSUES. I'VE SEEN PAST COMPLAINTS OF THIS IN SIMILAR MODEL CARS, HOWEVER HYUNDAI WILL NOT COVER DUE TO WARRANTY BEING EXPIRED.

DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL AND HIT MY HEAD WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON ROAD.. IT WAS HANGING THERE AND I COULDN'T SEE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS UNTIL I HAD TO JUST HOLD IT UP WITH MY HAND UNTIL I GOT HOME AND COULD GET A SCISSORS TO CUT THE CORD THAT KEPT IT HANGING IN MY FACE. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR FELL. DIDN'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS, SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IN 15 MINUTES I ALREADY FOUND 22 OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THIS AND OTHER WEBSITES. CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID A CASE MANAGER, OSCAR, WOULD GET BACK TO ME IN 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS. THEY WOULDN'T GIVE ME "NATIONALS" PHONE NUMBER, WHERE HE WORKS. HE NEVER CALLED. AGAIN I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY SAID, SORRY, THEY WOULD SEND ANOTHER EMAIL TO OSCAR TO CALL ME WITHIN 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS. HE NEVER DID. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AGAIN. THEY SAID OSCAR USUALLY GETS BACK TO PEOPLE WITHIN 1-2 DAYS. THEN A SUPERVISOR CHANGED THE STOREY AND SAID THAT OSCAR WON'T CALL ME UNTIL I CONNECT WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO TRY TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. SHE SAID SHE WOULD CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND TELL THEM TO CALL ME. THEY NEVER DID. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP A WEEK LATER. THEY SAID THE NO ONE EVER CONTACTED THEM (WHICH I DON'T BELIEVE...HE DIDN'T EVEN ASK MY NAME OR ANYTHING). HE SAID THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HYUNDAI BESIDES SELLING AND FIXING THEIR CARS! THIS WAS GLADSTONE HYUNDAI. WHEN PRESSED, HE SAID SOMETIMES A CASE MANAGER WILL CALL THEM BEFORE THE CUSTOMER COMES IN TO TELL THEM HOW TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. SO HYUNDAI NATIONAL (OSCAR M) IS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR FELL OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING STEADILY ON AN INTERSTATE. I CAN NO LONGER GET THE VISOR TO STAY UP IN THE CLOSED POSITION.

THE VISOR BROKE AND FELL WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS IS A VISIBILITY HAZARD AND I AM NOT MECHANICALLY INCLINED. IN MY RESEARCH I'VE FOUND THIS IS COMMON IN CERTAIN HYUNDAI VEHICLES.WHY IS THIS NOT ON YOUR RECALL LIST?

WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, DRIVING STRAIGHT AFTER 2 RIGHT TURNS, AFTER APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING, A THIN WISP OF SMOKE ROSE UP FROM MY STEERING COLUMN, OR NEAR MY STEERING COLUMN, ON THE LEFT SIDE. FROM MY GENERAL GOOGLE RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. *TR

THE IGNITION CABLES AND SPARK PLUGS ARE FAULTY AND HAD TO BE REPLACED JUST AFTER 60,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, MY CAR WAS SHAKING, AND NOT SHIFTING PAST FIRST GEAR. HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC. THEY SAID THE IGNITION CABLES AND SPARK PLUGS WERE FAULTY. THEY HAD SEEN THIS ON HYUNDAI'S BEFORE. *TR

THE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION OR THE ENGAGED LOWERED POSITION, FALLING STRAIGHT DOWN INTO THE VISION FIELD. THE LOWER CORNER OF THE VISOR HAS TO BE ANCHORED IN THE CLIP ATTACHED TO THE ROOF TO KEEP IT FROM FALLING DOWN. SO THE VISOR IS UNUSABLE.

MY DAUGHTER'S CAR ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHEN SHE IS DRIVING IN THE STREET. THE CAR WAS TAKEN ON AUGUST 17, 2016, TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND SENSOR. IT WAS REPLACED AND THEY CHARGED US $800. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. NOW, THE DEALERSHIP IS REPLACING THE CAMSHAFT SENSORS WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS IS THE PROBLEM. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING IN THE STREETS OR HIGHWAY. IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

DRIVING 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE DRIVER'S VISOR FELL INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT, I WASN'T USING THE VISOR AS IT WAS DARK MAKING IT VERY HARD TO SEE. IT'S ELECTRIC SO IT DIDN'T FALL ALL THE WAY JUST INTO MY LINE OF VISION. I HAD TO HOLD IT IN PLACE AND MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO SAFELY ATTEMPT TO FIX IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ACCENT. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING ON AN INCLINE, THE ENGINE MISFIRED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,426.
