2015 HYUNDAI ACCENT Complaints

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

THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT SHUT OFF, SHOP CANNOT PASS INSPECTION WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND CAN COST UP TO $1000 TO REPLACE SINCE IT'S WIRED INTO THE SEAT. THIS 100% SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE THERE ARE DOZENS OF OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SYSTEM ISSUE.

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!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI ACCENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT CALLED HYUNDAI OF EL PASO (8600 MONTANA AVE, EL PASO, TX 79925) WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V218000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,062.

PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG IS CONSTANTLY ON. FROM TIME YOU TURN IT ON TILL YOU N IT OFF.

I WAS IN AN MVA ON 4/7/2020. I WAS TRAVELING AT 45MPH WHEN I COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, WHEREAS ALL OF THE OTHER VEHICLE'S DID. BECAUSE OF THIS, I SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. I RECEIVED EXTREME WHIPLASH, STASHED MUSCLES IN THE CHEST, AND A LARGE CONTUSION ACROSS MY LOWER ABDOMEN. I ALSO RECEIVED INJURY TO MY LEGS.

AT FIRST IN THE BEGINNING MY CAR DOES IT ONCE IN A BLUE MOON; HOWEVER NOW EVERYDAY FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS MY CAR WOULD POWER DOWN WHILE BEING AT A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN, OR IN MOTION. WHEN IT POWERS DOWN THE ENGINE AND BATTERY LIGHTS COMES ON. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART MY CAR. IT NORMALLY DOES IT TWICE EVERYDAY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND MY BABY. I'M SCARED THAT A CAR WOULD COME UP BEHIND AND HIT ME WHILE MY BABY IS IN THE CAR. I FEAR OUR LIVES. WHEN I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE FOR THEM TO CHECK AND SEE WHY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON THE CODE WAS ALWAYS CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I WENT TO GO GET THAT FIX AND MY CAR IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO, WHEN MY CAR IS IN MOTION THE RPM DOESN'T MOVE IT STAYS AT 0. ALSO, THE SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG ISN'T WORKING. WHEN SOMEBODY IS SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS OFF, BUT WHEN SOMEBODY ISN'T SITTING THERE THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I HAVEN'T BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS.

MECHANIC SAYS THAT THE SENSOR IN MY PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT WORK BECAUSE THERE IS A COMPUTER ISSUE AND THE AIR BAD WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT.

AFTER HITTING 80,000 MILES OUT AIRBAG LIGHT IS TURNED ON WE HAVEN'T BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND IT DOESN'T STAY ON CONSTANTLY.

THE SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING, THE COST IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND NO RECALL FOR MY CAR BUT OTHER 2015 ACCENTS DID HAVE A RECALL. THE COST TO REPAIR IS $1550.
