2001 HYUNDAI ACCENT Complaints

I WAS GOING 60 MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY, WHEN I TRIED SLOWING DOWN TO 50 MPH THE RPM'S KEPT GOING UP AS WELL AS THE SPEED. COULD NOT SLOW DOWN, PULLED OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE COMPLETELY, STILL DID NOT STOP, UNTIL I PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS WAS AFTER PICKING UP MY CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR A 15000 MILE MAINTENANCE. DEALER CLAIMED LATER THAT IT WAS DUE TO A SENSOR THAT WAS BURNED OUT. *JB

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH THE CONSUMER SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND SLID AT 20 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *NLM *SCC

WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THERE WAS A POPPING NOISE FROM UNDER FRONT END. ALSO A CREAKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM UNDER THE RIGHT FRONT WHEN CAR WAS AT IDLE AND WHEN THE STEERING WAS TURNED BACK AND FORTH. CUSTOMER FELT NOISE WAS RELATED. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND AT THE TIME. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. *TT *JB

THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED ABOUT RECALL#02V167000, DUE TO THE FACT SHE EXPERIENCED PREVIOUS HEAD INJURIES. SCC *JB

VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DECELERATE. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PH

THE VEHICLE IDLED ROUGH. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THE PULSE GENERATOR WAS REPLACED. THE CONSUMER PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND STILL EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITH NO RESULTS. TS SCC
