My dealership, palmers Hyundai on airport blvd in mobile, al said I can make an appointment to come in to have the abs fire hazard addressed, but there is no guarantee that they will have the part to fix the recall problem because they don't receive the item in bulk.

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, yet they admit that the vehicle can catch fire while it's being driven. At this point, the government needs to step in and hold Hyundai accountable, for the sake of public safety. They need to be made to provide a solution that actually solves the problem, even if it isn't cheap to do so.
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.

On may 30, 2020 I bought an Hyundai 2012 model: Accent GLS in an authorized motor trend certified dealer at 995 n. 107 th Ave. Avondale, az 85323. Stock no. P5607a.

After I see I have a recall in the NHTSA webpage, I take my car to the dealership in torrance, CA. As a result I was told "they can't do anything and can't provide a solution or an agency to clear out this issue". The problem is that: "if the compressor accessory is connected to the 12v outlet to inflate a tire will possibly cause an overheat at the car outlet". I stated: "I don't have such accessory and I have a regular spare tire". After that was confirmed I requested to clear the recall since I don't have that accessory and only that accessory cause the problem to the outlet. That didn't change their attitude to provide a solution and the technician raymond said: "we are sorry but there is nothing we can do". In my opinion doesn't make sense to tag a car "unsafe with a recall" for an external accessory that is not even in the car or in the market. Solution 1: create a permanent sticker and set next to the 12v outlet "do not connect devices that consume more than (what ever are the amps or watts that cause the overheat) solution 2: dissemble the 12v outlet and re-assemble with the correct torque add to the recall "minor issue, car performance is not in danger".

We purchased a 2012 Hyundai Accent on October 19, 2011. From the very first day we started having issues where the brakes would not brake at times and would have bouts of unintended acceleration. From the first day of purchase we advised the Hyundai dealership and even brought in our vehicle to be looked at. They refused to do any kind of diagnostic and said that I was being a paranoid woman and new moms tend to worry too much. My husband and I have both driven this vehicle and experienced this issue. We advised Hyundai, the dealership and our insurance company of the issue. Each time we brought the car into the dealership the acted very cavilier as it was "not a big deal" and would send us on our way. We had various communications and have paperwork where the dealership noted we were complaining of the brakes not working and then they would state they did not/will not do a diagnostic. I would not allow my children to ride in this vehicle further as it became apparent that this was not only going to keep happening but as time passed it happened more frequently and caused me to fear for my life. In decemnber 2013 I advised my husband I feared for my life. One week later 12/16/13 I was in an accident where I was slowly turning, went to brake and the brakes felt empty as they did when this would happen and the car reved loudly and accelerated at an extreme speed. These bouts of uninteded acceleration are documented yet Hyundai and the Hyundai dealership will not respond appropriately,. They dismissed my claim stating our floor mat protector which lays flat and has plenty of clearance is the cause however I must advise and have responded that the floor mat protectors were not purchased until the following year and did not get put into the vehicle until July of 2013 so the documented incidents were mostly before and one in July 2013 after they had been placed in the car.
I was washing my 2012 Accent in may of 2013 and I noticed what I thought to be dirt above the hatchback window. Upon further inspection I noticed that it was a rust spot coming up from under the paint and clear coat. There was only a spot about the size of a number two pencil point. As of today( 4-13-14) there are five spots of rust coming up all of various size and now I found one on my driver side door. Has anyone else reported rust coming from under the paint ? which to me means the recycled metal when smelted did not remove the rust during the process.
