2012 Hyundai Accent owner complaints

Car would not start. Found information online regarding several complaints about a transmission shaft sensor and a quick fix by placing the car in neutral and back to park. Used this fix and car subsequently started.

Around 50000 miles the car would over rev about 1000-2000 RPM when the clutch was released and foot off of the gas. It has progressively gotten worse. Now it will on its own while standing at idle run up to 5000-6000 RPM without warning and the only way to stop it is to turn the car off. When in gear, the car will accelerate without warning. If you depress the clutch, again it will run up to 5000-6000 RPM. The problem becomes exacerbated in warmer weather and lessened in cold weather. During the 12/24 heat wave here in pa, the car was undriveable and dangerous as I could not depend on it not "taking off". The dealer updated the software on 12/22 which did not resolve the issue, and no codes were found in the computer! Before 50,000 miles everything was fine.

I received this notice of a safety recall for my 2012 Hyundai accent in late October. Hyundai stated that a remedy would be available in late November. Now it's late December, and I've heard nothing from Hyundai. This safety recall sounds urgent and incredibly dangerous; I don't feel safe driving or parking my vehicle anywhere because according to them, it can catch fire at any moment. Despite this, Hyundai hasn't provided any more solutions other than parking my car outside, which doesn't solve the issue with driving it and frankly isn't any more safe. Hyundai isn't responding quickly enough at all for how urgent this issue is, even though several vehicle fires and thermal incidents have already occurred due to this very issue. It's ridiculous that they state the vehicle is safe to drive,

I was driving down the road during the day and looked down and my high beams were on. I wasn't sure why since my lights were in the off position. I tried playing with the lighting switch on the inside of my car, and it finally turned off after flashing the high beams on and off with the switch a few times. I took a picture, and then started driving, about a mile or so down the road, the high beams came back on, so I headed toward the dealership, and people were moving out of my way on the two lane highway since my high beams were on. The said without being able to duplicate the issue, they couldn't be sure why it happened. When it happened again, I took my car to the dealership with it happening and they played with the switch to get them to shut off and told me I had no clue how to work m

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

I am a very cautious driver who is very easy on my brakes, to prevent wear. I could not stop in time when a vehicle in front of me suddenly stopped and had to turn, even though I had plenty of space to stop, I had to swerve in front of another vehicle because my brakes are worn down at 17k miles??? Something is obviously wrong with the brakes in a 2012 Hyundai accent. There needs to be a recall. Even if I floor the brake pedal I don't stop and hear grinding noises. *tr

I received a recall notice in October for my 2012 Hyundai Accent. According to the recall, my car is safe to drive but should not be parked in my garage or near my home due to fire risk. The letter said a remedy would be available as of 11/21. It is now 11/29 and there's still no remedy available. Because I'm in upstate NY, the temperature has plummeted and my car is having a harder time starting in the morning since I can't park it in our garage. I'm putting in a complaint due to the fact that the manufacturer has failed to remedy this safety recall in a timely manner.

Loud ticking and engine knocking. Car starts to stall and overheat, car does not shift properly. Was told it was failing coils. Replaced all coils and spark plugs, this remedied the flashing ck engine light. Check engine light still on and still says the coil is not responding. Tech says it is a stuck lifter but can't be manually unstuck. Road hazard is car will stall and engine will fail without warning. Car has received regular oil change maintenance.

The cast pistons in the turbo engine overheated and caused detonation which has disabled the engine. The extended warranty companies know about this possibility and specifically makes sure it is not covered.

Tl* the contact owned a 2012 Hyundai accent. The contact stated that the engine caught fire. While driving through a parking lot, the contact heard a loud noise and noticed flames under the hood. Moments later, the vehicle burst into flames. The flames expanded to the windshield, entered the vehicle, and burned the front seats. The police and fire departments were present and fire report number: 19-141990 was filed. The manufacturer and dealer were not contacted. The vehicle was destroyed and towed. The failure mileage was 90,000.

This car has a recall which put my child and others at risk. It also has a recall for excessive corrosion, which has made the suspension unrepairable. It only has 124K miles. I would like Hyundai to take the car from me and give me the remaining value so I can reimburse my child, who had to buy a car that was safe to drive.

I have had a clunking noise on this vehicle since buying it. It would make the noise on the smallest bumb, slowing down, turning, and on the highway. The previous owner said she tried getting it fixed but no one could pinpoint where the nouse was coming from. I asked around I got the same response,also told, "if it's not messing with your performance, ignore it." recently going over bumb it started making another squeak noise, I went to a tire shop and asked for them to look at my sway bar, tur s other top mount of my driver side strut had a bolt that could not be tightened down.

I was turning a corner going to work and the front passenger tire popped. I called the roadside assistance to come take care of the vehicle. Only to learn that there was no spare tire, when I specifically asked the salesperson if there was one he stated yes. The car had to be towed to the dealers. The dealer then tells me that I must have hit something because the sidewall of the tire had a hole in it. However, I did not hit anything nor rub a curb. They are not standing behind the warranty of the tires and notified me that the tires on the vehicle are discontinued. I asked why they were discontinued and got the run around.. I asked if defective and no response. *tr

The electric power steering (EPS) system in my Hyundai Accent 2012 5-door hatchback intermittently stops and starts working, and when it does not work, a dashboard red EPS light comes on. This problem has been occurring on and off for a few months now. When the system is not working, the car becomes very difficult to steer, especially at slow speeds. The problem seems to occur more frequently in cold weather at start up, occasionally occurs in warmer weather, and often resolves itself after driving the vehicle for awhile, but sometimes starts while driving. Because the problem is intermittent and the strength needed to steer at slow speeds is significant, there is a safety risk. Because the problem is intermittent, it has not been reproduced by a dealer or service center. The vehicle has

Throughout november 2019, my 2012 Hyundai accent hatchback with automatic transmission( VIN [xxx] ) has been experiencing unintended acceleration. I have taken it to a mechanic who cleaned everything between gas pedal and computer, and the problem ameliorated for a week or so. Now the problem is back. In normal driving, lifting my foot off the accelerator sometimes slows the vehicle and other times it maintains speed or accelerates. (this is without cruise control engaged). When stopped in traffic, it will lurch forward when brake is released. When parking it often red-lines as soon as [ut into neutral. So far my remedy has been to turn the key off. However, my wife is now too frightened to ride in the car. I see all the other complaints of unintended acceleration in your databa
