2009 HYUNDAI ACCENT Complaints

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON ONE DAY. I WAS INFORMED THE AIRBAG PRESSURE SENSOR HAD FAILED AND WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM AS THE AIRBAG WOULDN'T DEPLOY CORRECTLY IF SOMEONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. RECENTLY LEARNED IT WAS A RECALL FOR SOME KIA MODELS THROUGH A NOTICE FOR MY KIA SEDONA, BUT MY MODEL WASN'T INCLUDED ALTHOUGH THE ISSUE IS IDENTICAL.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON ONE DAY. AND ITS ON CONSTANTLY. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY DONT CARE. I BELIEVE HYUNDAI IS THE LEAST TRUSTWORTHY BRAND FOR CAR AND SHOULD NOT BE SOLD IN US MARKET.

MY CAR MISFIRED AND AFTER THAT STARTED TO SPUTTERING WHEN I IDOL, SLOW DOWN OR SPEED UP. I GOT NEW PLUGS PUT IN AND PUT SOME DRY GAS IN TANK.STILL SPUTTERS WHEN IN IDLE OR SLOWING DOWN. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKS AND THEN STAYS ON.

IT STARTED RUNING BAD I PULL OVER SMOKE COMEING FROM FIRE WALL I PUT IT OUT /NEXT DAY I STARTED IT AND TURN IT OFF/ THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON/ ONLY 54000.00 MILES/THANK YOU/RUNING ON THE HIGHWAY

DURING OR AFTER OPERATION OF THE AIR CONDITIONING, WATER POURS DOWN INTO THE FOOTWELL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF ANY OTHER PARAMETERS.

CAR HAS EXTREMELY HARD TIME STARTING WHEN YOU PUT FUEL IN CHANGED ALL SENSORS AND PURGE VALVE NO HELP MECHANIC IS STUMPED

THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 90,000 MILES, YET THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. A MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE ERROR AS B1448 OCS. THE MECHANIC SAID THE PROBLEM COULD BE THE WEIGHT SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE WIRING HARNESS UNDERNEATH THE SEAT, OR THE CONTROL MODULE.

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR CAN ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE USING THE CAR KEY. THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED AT ALL AS THERE IS NO DOOR LOCK.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I HAD A MECHANIC SHUT IT OFF. IT WAS OFF FOR A WHILE BUT CAME BACK ON. I HAVE SEEN ONLINE WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.
