HE CAME INTO MY LANE AT A GOOD SPEED AND A FULL LOAD. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. I HAVE HAD OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR ONLY TO BE IGNORED BY THE DEALER. I PAID CASH FOR THE CAR AT THE END OF 2015 AND NOW I HAVE NOTHING. BESIDES BEING HURT.

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN THE DEALER 2 DAYS AFTER I FOUND OUT THE BREAK IT'S NO GOOD TIRES WHEELS SOMETHING INSIDE MOTOR THIS LIKE SHAKING I TRIED TO SPEAK TO THE DEALER ONE DAY AFTER DAY THAT I BUY IT THEY DON'T DO ANY SOLUTION ABOUT IT AND YESTERDAY 2 HOURS BEFORE MY PAYMENT THEY TAKE MY CAR WEIGHT THANK

THIS COMPUTER MALFUNCTION HAS CREATED DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. THE CAR IS UNPREDICTABLE AND HAZARDOUS TO ME AND EVERYONE IN TRAFFIC. 6/8/15: WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR COULD NOT MOVE. AFTER I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN TURNED IT ON AGAIN, THE PROBLEM WAS GONE AND I COULD DRIVE. 7/27/15: THE PROBLEM RECURRED IN A SIMILAR FASHION, AGAIN AFTER STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. ONLY THIS TIME MULTIPLE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH BOARD, AND THE CAR COULD NOT MOVE. AFTER RESTARTING I COULD KEEP DRIVING. 9/24/15: WHILE DRIVING, MULTIPLE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH BOARD. A FEW MOMENTS LATER THEY WENT OFF, BUT THE TRIP ODOMETERS A/B RESET THEMSELVES TO 0. 1/17/17: THE SAME PROBLEM RECURRED. WHILE DRIVING, MULTIPLE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH BOARD. A FEW MOMENTS LATER THEY WENT OFF, BUT THE TRIP ODOMETERS A/B RESET THEMSELVES TO 0. REPAIRS TO FIX THE PROBLEM: THE CLUSTER WAS REPLACED. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IM REPORTING THIS DEFECTIVE CAR. WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 HYUNDAI ACCENT IT BEGAN TO POWER DOWN THE OIL LIGHT, THE BATTERY LIGHT AND STEERING LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS WAS REPORTED TO ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND MY CAR WAS TOWED. PREVIOUSLY THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURRED A WEEK TO THE DATE THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR AND IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE SERVICED. I WAS TOLD A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKED UP. ANYWAY A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN THE VECHILE AND I GOT THE VECHILE BACK, LESS THAN A WEEK LATER THEY VEHICLE IS ACTING UP AGAIN! AND HERE I AM COMPLAINING AGAIN.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'M REPORTING THIS DEFECT. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR ON 11/28/2015 LESS THAN A WEEK LATER WHILE DRIVING THE NORMAL SPEED LIMIT THE CAR BEGAN TO POWER DOWN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK THEN RESTART THE CAR AGAIN THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER TO BE SERVICED. I WAS TOLD A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED, THE THE TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKED UP AND THIS IS WHAT CAUSED THE CAR TO POWER DOWN AND ENGINE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT TO COME ON. ANYWAY A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN THE CAR AND I WAS GIVEN THE CAR BACK. THE CAR WAS IN THE DEALER SERVICE SHOP FOR A WEEK. NOW LESS THAN A WEEK LATER THE CAR IS DOING IT AGAIN, POWERING DOWN WHILE DRIVING, THEN ENGINE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON. THIS IS A SAFETY RISK!!! I HAVE A CHILD I FEAR FOR OUR LIFE. I REPORTED THIS TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS, BBB, THE POTAMKIN HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE,NHSTA AND ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN!. ALL I GET IS THE RUN AROUND, WELL, THIS IS GOING TO BETHE SECOND TIME THE CAR IS GOING TO BE SERVICED FOR THIS SAFETY RISK.

I RENTED THIS VEHICLE FROM ALAMO CAR RENTAL, LAX, ON AUGUST 14, 2015 AND RETURNED IT TO ALAMO LAX ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2015 FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON. THE FRONT BUMPER COVER SPONTANEOUSLY DETACHED FROM THE BODY. THE AUTO HAD BEEN PARKED OVERNIGHT IN THE HOUSING COMPLEX PARKING LOT. I DISCOVERED IT UPON WALKING TO THE CAR IN THE MORNING. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ANY IMPACT OR TRAUMA THAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THE SEPARATION. IT WAS AS IF TWO PIECES THAT FIT TOGETHER SIMPLY CAME APART.
