I OWN TWO HYUNDAI ACCENTS, A 2009 AND THIS, A 2008. NOW BOTH HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH BECOMING INOPERATIVE. FORTUNATELY, THE LACK OF BRAKE LIGHTS WAS NOTICED BEFORE ANY ACCIDENTS OCCURRED, AND THE VEHICLES WERE TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WERE REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE. IT SEEMS THAT THE RECALL FOR 2006 AND 2007 SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXTENDED TO THE 2008 AND 2009 ACCENT MODELS (PLUS ANY OTHERS USING THE SAME BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH). *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS EXCESSIVE RUST UNDERBODY, AND THE FUEL TANK STRAPS ARE RUSTED ALONG WITH JUST ABOUT THE WHOLE FRAME. THE BRAKES ARE NOW SQUEALING AND RUBBING AFTER AN ALLEGED UNDERBODY RUST TREATMENT, WHICH SPRAYED OVER THE OLD RUST! HYUNDAI HAS OFFERED A "WAX TREATMENT" WHICH IS BASICALLY WAXING MY RUST. THE FUEL STRAPS SEEM TO ME TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE, AS WELL AS THE BRAKES. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT DOES NOT ALWAYS FASTEN AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. HYUNDAI REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY ISSUES, STATING THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, YET THEY ADMIT THE ORIGINAL FRAME COATING WAS TOO THIN.

IN NOVEMBER 2016 THE EXHAUST PIPE FROM THE FRONT AXLE TO THE MUFFLER FELL OFF DUE TO BRACKETS RUSTING. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER A RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED FROM HYUNDAI ABOUT RUSTING TO THE CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION. REPAIR WORK WAS DONE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. HYUNDAI SPRAYED THE UNDERSIDE FOR RUST-PROOFING, THEN DENIED A REIMBURSEMENT CLAIM ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. IN APRIL 2017 THE ROCKER ARMS AND ROTORS HAD RUSTED, AND REQUIRED FULL BRAKING SYSTEM AND ROCKER ARM REPLACEMENT. IN JUNE 2017 THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION SYSTEM REQUIRED REPLACEMENT, DUE TO RUSTING OF THE SHOCKS AND STRUTS. AN ATTEMPT TO FILE A SECOND CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT CANNOT BE PROCESSED THROUGH HYUNDAI'S WEBSITE, CITING THE VIN NUMBER AND LAST NAME MATCHING THE ORIGINAL REQUEST THAT WAS DENIED WITHOUT EXPLANATION.

ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO THE SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE. WE TOOK OUR CAR TO OUR HYUNDAI DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT WE NEEDED A NEW AIRBAG INSTALLED AND IT WOULD COULD AROUND $1000 FOR THE PART. THEY ORDERED IT AND WE HAVE TO SCEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO PUT IT ON. WE ARE ON A FIXED INCOME AND $1000 OR MORE IS A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY THAT WE DON'T HAVE. WE WERE WONDERING IF THERE IS OR COULD POSSIBLY BE A RECALL FOR THIS AIRBAG PROBLEM. LOOKING ON LINE AT THE COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS AIRBAG PROBLEM WITH THE 2008 HYUNDAI ACCENT WE WERE WONDERING WHY YOU HAVE NOT RESOLVED THIS COMPLAINT WITH A RECALL. THANKS FOR YOU TIME.

AT APPROXIMATELY 67,000. MI THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, HAD AN AUTO PARTS STORE SCAN THE CODE AND SAID IT WAS PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR, AT THE TIME I USED THE CAR FOR COMMUTING TO WORK AND NEVER HAD PASSENGERS. NOW RETIRED AND CANNOT HAVE A PASSENGER FOR FEAR THAT BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT COULD BE DEADLY FOR THE OCCUPANT OF THAT SEAT, WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, ( I'M SECOND OWNER ) AND THE SEAT ALONE WOULD COST AT LEAST $900. PLUS INSTALLATION WOULD BE ABOUT $1200. OR MORE ON A FIXED INCOME AND CANNOT AFFORD THAT, CANNOT SELL THE CAR IT LOWERS THE RESALE, AND WHO WOULD WANT IT. GUESS I'M STUCK

CRITICAL: DRIVERS SUNVISOR UNEXPECTEDLY FELL OUT OF IT'S MOUNTING WHILE TRAVELING AT NIGHT ON A VERY NARROW 2-LANE BRIDGE. DARNED NEAR GOT ME KILLED!!!. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD AND A VERY POOR & DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW. REPLACEMENT UNITS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND EQUALLY FLAWED. YES, MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION @ ABOUT 45 MPH AND HAD I NOT HAD QUICK REFLEXES, I COULD HAVE EITHER SLAMMED INTO THE BRIDGE RAIL OR HEAD -ON WITH AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. PLEASE GET THIS CORRECTED BECAUSE IT IS A WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM BY MANY HYUNDAI VEHICLE OWNERS IN ADDITION TO OTHER YEARS & MODELS. THANK YOU *TR

AT END OF MAY 2016, MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON AND STAYED ON. I TOOK MY 2008 ACCENT TO THE DEALER ON 6/2/16 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE OCS MAT MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1400 TO $1600. IF I DO NOT REPLACE IT, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE AIRBAG SENSOR SYSTEM IS DISABLED. THIS 2008 ACCENT SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR FEW DAYS FOR NO REASON, THEN IT CAME OFF. NOW THE AIR BAG IS BACK ON FOR GOOD, IT STARTED UP AGAIN SINCE JULY AND IS STILL ON. WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT FOR IT TO CAUSE FOR THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO COME BACK ON. I CALLED TO SEE IF I CAN GET IT REPAIR, THE GENTLEMAN SAID IT WILL COST MORE ABOUT $1,000 OR MORE TO CHECK IT AND GET IT REPAIR. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY THAT MUCH, BUT MY SON'S SAFETY IS MY CONCERN.

ON NOVEMBER 14, 2014, AFTER COMING TO A STOP,THE ENGINE SHUT OFF ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, REQUIRING ME TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL TO RESTART IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 19 TIMES SINCE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN WHILE I AM IN MOTION AND THAT IF IT DID IT MIGHT CAUSE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO MINE. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO OUR LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED USED IN JULY 2014 TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED. THE ENGINE CAME TO A STOP WHILE IT WAS ON THEIR LIFT BEING CHECKED OUT. HOWEVER, THE COMPUTER DID NOT PROVIDE ANY CODE TO ENABLE THEM TO FIX IT. THEY SUGGESTED PUTTING 2 BOTTLES OF DRY GAS IN THE TANK BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALERTED THEM THAT THIS CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT SINCE THE COMPUTER FINDS NOTHING WRONG. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ALSO CONSULTED HYUNDAI TECHNICAL SERVICE TEAM AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO GIVE THEM ANY SOLUTIONS. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO HYUNDAI CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE ON APRIL 10, 2015. I ASKED ABOUT THE 100,000 MILE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE THE MILEAGE IS OVER 60,000 THERE IS NOT MUCH THEY CAN DO FOR ME. THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD TRY TO LOOK INTO THIS AND NOTIFY MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CASE MANAGER ([XXX]) ASKED ME WHAT I WOULD LIKE OUT OF THIS SITUATION. I TOLD HIM I WANTED TO GET IT FIXED AS IT IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL AS A CONSTANT WORRY EVERY TIME I AM COMING TO A STOP.

RED AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD IS ON. I HAD THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR PAD IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WENT BAD. THEY SAID THE SEAT BASE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WOULD BE $822.82 FOR PARTS + 1.5 HOURS LABOR FOR A TOTAL OF: $985.00. IT SEEMS VERY ODD THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR WOULD GO BAD IN MY CAR BECAUSE I HARDLY EVER HAVE A PASSENGER.
