What 135 owners told NHTSA about the 2013 Hyundai Accent 5

MY DAUGHTERS WERE IN A THREE CAR ACCIDENT ON 13 JUNE 2019. THEY WERE REAR ENDED WHICH CAUSED THEM TO HIT ANOTHER CAR IN THE REAR; NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THEY SUFFER FROM NECK PAINS, SHOULDER PAINS, BACK PAINS, AND HEADACHES. WHY INSTALL AIRBAGS IF THE ARE GOING TO BE NO USE DURING AN ACCIDENT?!? I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HYUNDAI!!!

ONCE I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SEEMS TO LOOSE POWER ALMOST LIKE IF THE CAR WANTS TO SHUT OFF THE RMP GOES LOW THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS TURNED ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR ITS SERVICE ON TIME AND NO ISSUES BUT THE GOOD YEAR REP TOLD ME THE ERROR CODE THEY RECEIVED WAS P0326 WHICH IS THE KNOCK SENSOR AND NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE SO FAR WITHIN THE LAST TWO MONTHS.

ENGINE/POWER TRAIN THE ENGINE WENT OUT ON MY VEHICLE WHILE I WAS TRAVELING FROM HOUSTON TO DALLAS TEXAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I HAD IT TOWED TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHO DIAGNOSED THE ENGINE PROBLEM. I WAS ASKED TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION THAT SHOWED OIL CHANGE MAINTENANCE WAS BEING PERFORMED FROM 70K-82K MILES. I PROVIDED THAT INFORMATION TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONDUCTED A PRE-APPROVAL AND SENT IT OVER TO HYUNDAI CORPORATE. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS WAITING AND STRANDED IN DALLAS, I RECEIVED THE NEWS THAT THE CLAIM WAS DENIED FOR IMPROPER MAINTENANCE. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT TOLD WHAT TYPE OF MAINTENANCE WAS NEEDED SINCE I PROVIDED THE DOCUMENTATION REQUESTED THAT SHOWED I DID HAVE MAINTENANCE. I CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND GET A BETTER REASON FOR DENIAL. I WAS TOLD I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A CALL WITH MORE INFORMATION AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FEEDBACK. I VISITED A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP BACK IN NOVEMBER WHO TOLD ME MY ENGINE WAS GOING BAD AND PROVIDE PAPERWORK. I WAS NOT INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THIS INFORMATION WAS NEEDED AND HOW SOON. I TOOK THE CARE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AFTER VISITING THE DEALERSHIP AS IT WAS TIME AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. I FEEL HYUNDAI IS NOT HONORING THEIR WARRANTY FOR MY CAR ALTHOUGH I PROVIDED THE INFORMATION THEY NEEDED TO SHOW I WAS KEEPING UP WITH OIL CHANGES. I HAVE NO VEHICLE AND PURCHASED THIS CURRENT VEHICLE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THEY WOULD HONOR THEIR 100,000 WARRANTY. MY CAR IS UNDER 100,000 SO I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THEY ARE NOT FIXING MY ENGINE.

CITY AUTO PARK (4395 US-130, BURLINGTON, NEW JERSEY 08016, (609) 871-2800) STATED THAT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE HOOD WAS ABLE TO OPEN AND LATCH CLOSED DURING INSPECTION, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT A CERTIFIED HYUNDAI DEALER MUST INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

AS I GO UP A HILL OR RAPIDLY ACCELERATE ON AN INCLINE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE PROBLEM POINTS TO THE KNOCK SENSOR (CODE P0326) BEING AT FAULT. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN BUT WHEN IT DOES IT IS DISCONCERTING. I REPLACED THE KNOCK SENSOR WITH A NEW OEM PART, BUT IT TOO ACTS THE SAME AS THE OLD ONE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $90 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THEN ANY LABOR/PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR IT. HOWEVER, I HAVE READ SEVERAL REPORTS ONLINE ABOUT A SOFTWARE UPDATE, FLASHING THE ECU HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. IF THIS IS SO, SHOULDN'T THIS BE A REASON FOR A RECALL?

CHROME TAPE ON DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE CAME LOOSE CREATING A SHARP EDGE THAT IS A CUT HAZARD WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DOOR. MY DAUGHTER IS RETURNING TO LONGWOOD UNIVERSITY WITH THIS VEHICLE SO I HAD TO SUPERGLUE AND TAPE THE CHROME TAPE BACK INTO PLACE. THE CHROME TAPE IS STARTING TO BUBBLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HANDLE SO THAT PART OF THE CHROME TAPE WILL ALSO BE SEPARATING SOON FROM THE PLASTIC

I NOTICE MY CAR HAD A 'KNOCKING'/ 'PINGING' SOUND AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET SERVICED ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO. THE DEALER CLAIMED THEY 'COULDN'T REPLICATE THE NOISE' WHICH IS FALSE BECAUSE I TOOK ONE OF THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES FOR A RIDE TO SHOW HIM THE NOISE. THEY DECIDED TO CLEAN THE INTAKE WHICH HELPED, BUT THE PRE DETONATIONS ARE BACK AGAIN, THIS TIME THEY ARE MORE NOTICEABLE. I'VE READ SEVERAL ACCENT OWNERS IN FORUMS COMPLAINING ABOUT PINGING, KNOCKING, AND PRE DETONATIONS. HYUNDAI MUST ACT ON THIS ISSUE!

OCCASIONALLY, WHEN GOING TO USR MY VEHICLE, I WILL TRY TO UNLOCK THE CAR WITH MY FOB AND NOTICE IT WON'T RESPOND. UPON STARTING MY VEHICLE, THE ENGINE TURNS OVER BUT MY ELECTRONICS DON'T FULLY ACTIVATE. MY CLOCK IS OFF, THE RADIO DOESN'T TURN ON, AND I CAN'T USE THE DOME LIGHTS. HOWEVER, MY DASHBOARD INFORMATION PANEL DOES DISPLAY MY ODOMETER, FUEL, AND TEMP GAUGE, AND I CAN SCROLL THROUGH THE DISPLAY OPTIONS, BUT THEY HAVE ALL RESET. MY TELLTALE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON BRIEFLY LIKE A NORMAL START, AND WHEN THEY GO AWAY MY TPMS TELLTALE REMAINS FLASHING, INDICATING IT'S NOT GETTING A SIGNAL FROM MY TIRES. FINALLY, THOUGH MY ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IS RUNNING, I CAN'T PUT MY VEHICLE IN GEAR. MY ONLY FIX HAS BEEN TO LET THE VEHICLE SIT WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING FOR ANY WHERE BETWEEN 2 AND 20 MINUTES, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, AND RETRY. ONCE IT FINALLY DECIDES TO TURN ON NORMAL, THE CLOCK WILL DISPLAY, ALTHOUGH RESET, MY TPMS NO LONGER DISPLAYS, AND I CAN GET INTO GEAR. TIME SITTING SEEMS TO NOT EFFECT IT BECAUSE IT CAN SIT FOR DAYS AND WORK NORMAL OR HOURS AND ACT UP. MY ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATION SEEMS TO INVOLVE THE WEATHER AFTER GETTING VERY COLD OR EXCESSIVE PRECIPITATION, BUT EVEN THAT ISN'T NECESSARILY GOING TO GUARANTEE THIS PROBLEM. IT MAY JUST BE PURE RANDOMNESS AND IT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT AT ALL.

TAKATA RECALL: I HAD TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT GETS STUCK WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AND WON'T PICK UP THE POWER WHEN ACCELERATING. WHILE THE ON THE HIGHWAY IT DRIVES HORRIBLE AND THE STEERING IS UNPREDICTABLE. EACH TIME THAT I TOOK IT INTO THE HYUNADAI DEALERSHIP THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WRONG WITH IT. WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY I DID TAKE IT TO OTHER PLACES TO SEE WHAT THEY WOULD SAY AND THEY ALL NOTICED THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT IT APPEARS THAT IT'S WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I DID CONTACT HYUANDAI DIRECTLY AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND NOW THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I AM SCREWED!

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE CAR ACTS AS IF WE HAVE TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND COMPLETELY STALLS EXCEPT THAT THE MOTOR IS STILL GOING IN SPITE OF OUR ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR HAS NO POWER. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS HAS RESULTED IN NEAR ACCIDENTS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR AND HAS BEEN AT ALEXANDER HYUNDAI FOUR TIMES FOR THE SAME DRIVEABILITY ISSUE. WE HAVE REQUESTED THE THROTTLE POSITIONING SWITCH BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND WERE TOLD IT COULD NOT BE REPLACED UNTIL THE UNIT FAILS. THE UNIT FAILING COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AND/OR INJURY TO OURSELVES OR OTHERS. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIRST REPORTED TO ALEXANDER IN SEPTEMBER 2016 AND CONTINUES TO THE PRESENT TIME.

I HAVE A 2013 HYUNDAI ACCENT GLS , ON 5/18/17 AFTER PARKING AND TURNING OFF THE CAR FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES I GOT BACK IN AND TRIED TO START IT UP, AND IT WOULD NOT EVEN MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO TURN ON, IT JUST SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN A WEEK LATER ON 5/26/17, I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION SHUT OFF THE CAR, AND AFTER FILLING UP I GOT IN MY CAR TRIED STARTING IT UP AND AGAIN IT WOULD NOT START UP, IT SEEMS TO SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, AND IT STARTED UP. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ON THE INTERSTATE FOR FEAR THAT IT MAY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE THE LOSS OF LIVES.

MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 30000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR IN FOR SERVICE 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ENGINE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. ALL ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON. NO POWER STEERING. THE HAPPENS WHEN I TAKE OFF FROM A LIGHT OR WILL TRYING TO ACCELERATE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THE FIRST TWO TIMES DEALER STATED IT WAS FROM HAVING A REMOTE STARTER ON IT. I REMOVED IT AND THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS. I WAS ALMOST IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON FRIDAY 2.17.17 AS THE PROBLEM HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR. I TRIED TO WORK A SITUATION WITH THE DEALER BUT THEY DID NOT WANT TO HELP ME AT ALL. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND I AM NOT GETTING ANY ANSWERS WITH THE DEALER.

I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET WHEN I WENT TO MAKE A STOP. I WAS GOING ABOUT 15-20MPH AND HAD 3 CAR LENGTHS ROOM AHEAD OF ME. I TRIED TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES TO MAKE A STOP, AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. THE BRAKES ENDED UP SHAKING AND THE BRAKE PEDAL KICKED BACK AT ME. IT SEEMED AS IF ABS KICKED IN PREMATURELY, OR ESC KICKED ON PREMATURELY. MY WHEELS LOCKED UP CAUSING MY CAR TO SLIDE INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. I AM NOT A MECHANIC SO I AM NOT SURE WHICH. I HIT A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A THIRD PARTY DEALERSHIP WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON MY VEHICLE AND SAID WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT MY PRIMARY PRESSURE CENSOR MALFUNCTIONED, AS WELL AS A BRAKE SWITCH ERROR OCCURRED. THE MECHANIC SAID THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE REASON THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED. I TRIED TO CALL HYUNDAI, WHO TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T GET THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP & TO KEEP DRIVING IT FOR ANOTHER 2 WEEKS UNTIL I COULD GET IT IN THEIR SHOP. I CALLED HYUNDAI OF AMERICA & THEY KEEP PASSING ME OFF. FINALLY I GOT A HOLD OF A CLAIM PERSON, WHO SAID I NEEDED TO GET CERTAIN PAPERWORK IN WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE INCIDENT IN ORDER FOR THEM TO INVESTIGATE. NOW THAT THE PAPERWORK IS IN, THEY SAY IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER 6-8 WEEKS TO MAKE A DECISION (THEY HAVE SAID NOTHING ABOUT INSPECTING THE VEHICLE). I AM NOW TERRIFIED TO DRIVE AND WILL NEVER EVER OWN ANOTHER HYUNDAI AGAIN! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER, AND I DO HAVE PROOF FROM A MECHANIC THAT THIS IS NOT MY FAULT. PER THE SERVICE GUYS IN HYUNDAI, THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE (THEY ONLY DRIVE IT FOR 2 MILES) SO THEY WILL NOT BE PUTTING MORE TIME OR MONEY INTO FIGURING IT OUT.

(MY CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN MODESTLY SINCE PURCHASE ON 1/15/16) THERE ARE ROUGHLY 40,760 MILES ON MY CAR.1/31/16 I TURNED OUT OF MY WORK PARKING LOT, MADE A LEFT.MY STEERING BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE AT LESS THAN 15MPH.I HAVE A STEADY HAND.I REMAINED CALM.BUT WHEN I TRIED TO BREAK TO PREVENT A POSSIBLE COLLISION INTO ANYTHING AFTER THE STEERING SEEMED TO HAVE GONE OUT, I BRAKED HARDER THAN NORMAL, BUT NOT SLAMMED. THE CAR JERKED UNCONTROLLABLY AS I PRESSED ON THE BREAK, IT FELT LIKE THE BREAKS WERE JUMPING/HITTING THE GROUND.ON THE SAME3-5MILE DRIVE HOME THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES,DROVE HALF THE SPEED LIMIT AND STILL PERSISTED. THIS IS CAUSE FOR ANXIETY FOR ANY FUTURE DRIVING. IF PANIC HAD OF TAKEN OVER BECAUSE SUCH ISSUES THAT ALONE COULD HAVE BEEN MY LIFE. I HAD QUICK THINKING WHEN THIS HAPPENED, NOT EVERYONE DOES. MY CAR IS DEFINITELY NOT OKAY AND I HAD SEVERAL "ALMOST" COLLISIONS ON THIS ONE DRIVE HOME WHEN I WAS ALERT AND AWARE SOMETHING WAS WRONG. GRANTED IT PERIODICALLY WORKED AS IT SHOULD OF, IT NEVER SHOULDN'T HAVE. HAD THIS NOT HAPPENED AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN THE FIRST PROFOUND LOSE OF CONTROL OCCURRED DUE TO A MECHANICAL ISSUE,NOT DRIVER ERROR. AND HAD I NOT BEEN ON ALERT WITH MY HAND AWAITING TO USE THE E-BRAKE AFTER IT BECAME VERY APPARENT SOMETHING WAS NOT OKAY.. I UNDOUBTEDLY WOULD HAVE TOTALED MY CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO STRESS THE RISK OF INJURY THAT HAPPENED AT LOW SPEEDS. GRANTED, I HANDLED MYSELF WELL, AND MADE IT HOME IN ONE PIECE I FELL APART AFTER I WAS SAFE AT HOME , AFTER IT SUNK IN WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME. MY CAR IS NOT SAFE FOR DRIVING. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN(SERVICE BULLETIN NO.: TSB-13-AT-008 ) (NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10052147)(HYUNDAIACCENT2012-2013) THAT I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO AND I VERY MUCH WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE REPAIRS NEEDED TO MAKE MY VEHICLE SAFE AGAIN WILL BE AT NO COST TO ME.
