1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/05/2026

The vehicle is subject to safety recall 13v-113 (campaign 131) for problems relating to the brake light switch. The recall repair was attempted in 2016 but the defect has recurred (current symptoms include but is not limited brake lights sporadically staying on with car off, key removed and all doors securely closed. This condition has caused the battery to be repeatedly completely drained and has required a battery replacement. Domino effect of a faulty signal - defective switch causes intermittent, erratic, or "ghost" signals to the vehicles logic relays and computer elements. Logic processor confusion and relay chatter can mimic a relay or component failure and can lead to pcm, tcm, bcm faults, errors and vulnerability. Additionally and in the present case the abs and brake warning alert lights have now come on as well on the dashboard. These warning lights are not sporadic but are now apparently permanent. The dealership is refusing a second free repair, incorrectly claiming a "one-time fix" limit. Hyundai corporate case #42932438 was filed but ignored.

2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/27/2016

I have now had to replace engine coils 6 times. They usually fail one at a time and the first 5 were under warranty. There are so many issues with Hyundai Accent 2011 owners and engines coils. This should be a recall. This is despicable Hyundai.

I have had to replace the coil packs on my 2011 Hyundai Accent 3 times so far and yesterday they went out again. My check engine light came on, car started running rough and would not accelerate properly. I went to the auto repair center and they advised that the coils were bad again and the vehicle is having a misfire. This will now be the 4th time I will have to replace all of the coil packs. I spoke with Hyundai and they stated that there is not a recall for this problem and were no help on this issue.

2011 Hyundai Accent. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle coils malfunction and causes acceleration problems. The consumer stated she has already replaced three of the four coils.

6 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2012

I bought my sedan almost 2 yrs ago and I have replaced all four coils randomly since then. Yesterday my engine light came on again as I was stuck in traffic and coil 2 was misfiring again. Now that I am out of warranty I am having to argue with Hyundai corporation on this matter that should be labeled a recall. Not to mention I just recently sold our 2011 Hyundai Accent hatchback that only had 30000 miles on it, after having it's first coil malfunction.
