POSSIBLY ISSUE WITH AMPS? (AUTO ZONE DIAGNOSTIC DID NOT SHOW ISSUE OR CODES). THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS YEAR ,MAKE AND MODEL (2016 HYUNDAI ACCENT). THERE HAS BEEN ISSUES AND RECALL WITH THE 2015 MAKE AND MODEL OF THE SAME WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON AND STAYING ON. BELIEVE IT WAS THOUGHT TO BE DUE TO COMPUTER ISSUE THAT AFFECTED KIA AS WELL.

HYUNDAI REFUSES TO INVESTIGATE SAYING LACK OF COMPLAINTS AND MUST BE ISSUE WITH JUST MY VEHICLE. WARRANTY- DOES NOT COVER AS THE MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE IS OVER THE ALLOWANCE FOR THE WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AROUND TOWN, COULD SMELL THE BRAKE PADS AS IF THE BRAKES WERE SEIZING. THE NEXT DAY, WE WERE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE BRAKES WERE SEIZING AGAIN AND WORE DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE THE HUB CAPS MELTED OFF THE CAR. THE FRONT TIRES WERE EXTREMELY HOT, THE BRAKES WERE MUSHY AND WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THERE WAS A BUFFETING SOUND AS IF THE BEARINGS WERE BURNED OUT. TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE ENTIRE FRONT END WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I'VE BEEN TO 2 HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS,...THEY BOTH TOLD ME THEY CAN FIND ANYTHING THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT MAKES ME MAD BECAUSE I TAKE OFF WORK TO GO GET MY CAR TAKEN CARE OF, BUT TO THEM NOTHING IS WRONG. MY CAR LAGS AT TIMES. WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, ITS HARD TO GO,..IT STALLS I HAVE TO FLOOR IT AT TIMES TO EVEN GET IT TO 25 0R 30. I KNOW MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE MUCH HORSEPOWER BUT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FLOOR IT TO EVEN GET IT TO 25. THIS IS A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. ITS LIKE HYUNDAI WANTS YOU ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THEY BELIEVE YOU. I'VE SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING ON CAR COMPLIANT. I GUESS ME AND THOSE OTHER PEOPLE ARE CRAZY. I'M THINKING ABOUT GETTING A LAWYER IF THIS ISN'T TAKEN CARE IF SOON.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE HIGHWAY, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS STARTED LIGHTING UP AND THE GAUGES APPEARED TO STALL IN A RANDOM PLACE, THEN RESET. I WASN'T SURE IF THE CAR WAS STALLING OR IF IT WAS JUST AN ELECTRICAL GLITCH. THIS WAS A DISTRACTION AND TOOK MY ATTENTION OFF THE ROAD AS THE CHECK ENGINE/TIRE PRESSURE/LOW FUEL/ETC LIGHTS ALL LIT UP AT THE SAME TIME AND THE GAUGES APPEARED TO BE MALFUNCTIONING MOMENTARILY. WITHIN 15 SECONDS, EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE OPERATING NORMALLY AGAIN. THE CAR NEVER STALLED OR LOST POWER, THE GAUGES JUST MADE IT APPEAR AS IF IT DID. I SCANNED THE CODES WITH THE CAR STILL RUNNING AFTER THIS INCIDENT AND THERE WERE NO CODES (PREVIOUS, CURRENT, PROCESSING). I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IF IT KEEPS DOING IT TO BRING IT BY BUT IF IT'S NOT ACTIVELY HAVING AN ISSUE THAT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR IT JUST YET (REQUESTED VIA PHONE TO INSPECT FOR LOOSE CONNECTIONS/GROUNDS AT THE LEAST).

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I'VE HAD MY 2016 HYUNDAI ACCENT 5-DOOR SINCE FEBRUARY 2016. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I HAVE NOTICED TWO ISSUES. THE FIRST IS THAT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS HITTING THE GROUND BENEATH MY FOOT ON THE UNDERSIDE. DEALERSHIP FOUND NOTHING BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT. THE SECOND IS WHEN AT A STOP SIGN, ETC., AND YOU START TRYING TO INCREASE THE SPEED, THE ENGINE HAS A HARD TIME GAINING SPEED AS QUICKLY AS IT SHOULD. I HAVE TO PRESS THE ACELERATOR TO THE FLOOR BOARD TO GET MOVING. I KNOW THAT MY VEHICLE ISN'T ONE WITH A HUGE ENGINE BUT STILL IT SHOULDN'T STRUGGLE TO GAIN SPEED EVERY SINGLE TIME! I'M NOT VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS AND WILL BE TAKING IT BACK TO CHECK BOTH THE BRAKES AND ENGINE.

FILING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE I RECENTLY HAD A BLOWOUT AND ITS PRETTY MESSED UP AND DANGEROUS THAT THERE ISN'T A SPARE TIRE (DONUT) OR ANY TYPE OF TIRE CHANGING TOOLS SUPPLIED IN THE CAR OTHER THEN A BAG OF FIRST AID SUPPLIES AND STUFF FOR A FLAT. NEXT ISSUE IS WHAT GOOD DOES THE STUFF DO FOR THE FLAT OF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TRAINED ON HOW TO USE IT? AS MUCH AS WE CUSTOMERS ARE PAYING FOR THESE CARS I'D THINK AND EXPECT SOME TYPE OF SPARE TIRE AND CHANGING TIRE TOOLS LIKE OTHER CAR SUPPLIERS. IF I CAN'T GET THAT WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY EXTRA I MAY AS WELL CANCEL MY CONTRACT. NEXT I CALLED ROADSIDE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY CAN'T EVEN ASSIST ME UNLESS I HAD A FLAT TIRE BUT NOT WITH NEEDING A TIRE. I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR UNATTENDED, IN A DARK AREA, ALMOST HAD A ACCIDENT ENDANGERING MYSELF AND OTHERS, CALL ALL OVER THE NEXT DAY , SPEND BILL MONEY I DIDN'T HAVE JUST TO PURCHASE ANOTHER TIRE. HOW INCONVENIENT!!!! I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HYUNDAI ! YOU'D SALE MORE CARS AND HAVE MORE HAPPIER CUSTOMERS THAT WAY VERSUS TRYING TO SAVE MONEY AND GAS BY NOT PROVIDING ONE IN THE CARS!!!!

STEERING
THE CAR DRIFTS AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH AND AT 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY REQUIRE CONSTANT CORRECTION DUE TO STEERING DRIFTING. DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT'S THE ELECTRONIC STEERING. AND THAT I WILL GET USED TO IT. THE CARS ACTS AS IF IT HAS WORN STEERING COMPONENTS. AT HIGHER SPEED THE STEERING IS SLOPPY, THE CAR WANDERS FROM SIDE TO SIDE.
