2010 Hyundai Accent owner complaints

As soon as I got on the freeway, the steering wheel, brake, and accelerator locked up. I managed to make it down the ramp to the side of the freeway. I put on the emergency brake because, the car kept rolling. I attempted to turn the car off but, the key was stuck in the ignition. The car was still on. I managed to get the key out and waited a few minutes then I restarted the car. I drove to the nearest exit and when I got off the freeway, it happened again in the left turn lane so, I could not get over. I waited and restarted the car like before. I parked and let the car run for a few minutes. Since then it has not happened but, this is a 2010 Hyundai accent (hatchback) and I bought it not even 3 weeks prior to this incident. I took it back to the dealership and they could not fi

The 2010 accent has a defect that will wear out the inside of the front tires in a short period of time.

Car had a light ticking sound for days off and on ......was driving down road and car starting revving up driving on it's own. Tried to apply brakes would not stop tried to shut car down wouldn't let me. Got car into neutral then applied brakes got car to stop and off road.

It was late night so I just wanted to make it home.....tried once more it happened a third time....was mile from home so I drove it again to make it....next day we dr

Purchased approx aug 10 2011 from carmax. Noticed vibration or shudder from steering wheel in park and idling, more pronounced on right side of engine, right side of car into back seat. Some vibration and shudder while decelerating at speed and around 20 MPH. Took the car to Hyundai around september 2011. They claimed the car had 4 motor mounts (engine and trans I assume) and that 2 of the mounts were bad. At different times they described the mounts as "broken", "cracked", and "stretched". They installed the two mounts (lower front and back location to me) calling them "revised". I asked to see the bad mounts but they did not show them to me. The repair reduced the side vibration by about 90% but the vibration was still there. The steering wheel vibration is unchanged. I immediately to

While my vehicle was in motion, driving straight after 2 right turns, after approximately 5 minutes of driving, a thin wisp of smoke rose up from my steering column, or near my steering column, on the left side. From my general google research, this appears to be an electrical problem. *tr

The brake lamp switch became defective intermittently, approximately 10,000 miles ago. It has now failed completely. Apparently I am not the only one experiencing this problem: http://www.autoblog.com/2013/04/03/Hyundai-Kia-recalling-1-6m-more-models-for-faulty-brake-switch/ this is a serious problem, so I wanted you to know. *tr

My brake lights are all out. All 3. I did some research and found that some cars up until 2009 were recalled for a faulty brake light switch. I am fearful I could put myself or others in harms way. This is a definite safety issue with this vehicle. I am not sure if there are currently other reports but I am doing so now. I am taking it to the dealership asap to have it evaluated. A technician has already troubleshooted replacing the bulbs and still not working. He believes it is the switch. This was stated prior to me doing research about a potential issue with Hyundai's brake light switch. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 Hyundai accent. The contact stated that the tail lights, hazard lights, and turn signal lights failed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact stated that there was no fault code from the diagnostic test. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 15v566000 (exterior lighting). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,001.

Brake lights are not functioning. Recall is listed for this vehicle from 2007 - 2009; however, Hyundai is not acknowledging the safety issue in the 2010 model. *tr

The visor on the driver side broke and just hangs there. The brakes now on three different occasions have failed to stop the car at slow speeds. When the brake is pressed it feels as though they are crumbling. And the car jerks around. Has been brought back to the dealership twice to be told that its just what anti lock brakes do. I have never had that happen on any other car I have owned with antilock brakes. I will never own another Hyundai again, nor will I ever buy anything from that dealership. *tr

I have a 2010 Hyundai accent that I purchased aug 2010. Just recently about a month ago I notice when I get in the car in the morning and I come to a stop while going out of the parking lot and putting on brakes the brakes sound like they are squeaking or rubbing. Also when putting on brakes they seem to have a sudden stop where you feel like the car is jerking. This happens every time I get in the car and take off. Also if I go 65 to 70 MPH the steering wheel will began to shake. When getting on the freeway the car also seems to have a slow take off for at least 1 mile. *tr

The ignition cables and spark plugs are faulty and had to be replaced just after 60,000 miles. I was driving and suddenly my check engine light started flashing, my car was shaking, and not shifting past first gear. Had it towed to a mechanic. They said the ignition cables and spark plugs were faulty. They had seen this on Hyundai's before. *tr

Car stopped running. Timing belt broke resulting in ruined engine requiring full engine replacement. Mileage was 63k.

My Hyundai accent model year 2010 had an issue where the brake lights went out completely. Model years 2007-2009 are under an active recall for the brake light switch and my car had the same problem. I called Hyundai and they advised the switch is different but the data I can find shows the same fault exists in the 2010 as well. This is a safety issue Hyundai is refusing to fix...the NHTSA needs to investigate and expand the recall to other model years. *tr

I had to have stop lamp switch replaced may 14,2013

While driving in the city my driver's side sun visor fell down right in front of my field of vision. It had to be removed because it would not stay up anymore. *tr

The sun visors break at the hinge and drop down in front of the driver's face obstructing view. I have owned 1 elantra and 2 accents since 2005. Hyundai refuses to deal with this. *tr
