general problems of the 2012 Hyundai Accent

Unknown. I think the abs module light appeared instantly on the dashboard. It's the anti-lock brakes that aren't working. I immediately contacted my Hyundai dealership when I saw a brake light come up on my dashboard when I went to brake but I had none and the brakes went all the way to the floor and I almost went over a cliff and died or badly hurt others or myself in a car accident. I'm willing to try and get it fixed at other independent service centers in Plymouth massachusetts. The event had happened a week before but I didn't report this incident to the police, insurance representatives/others or any other manufacturer because there wasn't officially any automobile accidents. Finally, my Hyundai Accent 2012 was donated to me by "good news garage" over 2. 5-3 yrs ago through a work-to-program/donation under the m. R. C. Or massachusetts rehabilitation center in Plymouth massachusetts which is permanently closed and is now called mass options and that's the only thing I know about this situation with no brakes. Please help me. I need to know my next steps. Thank you! owner and driver julie n. Arnold.

On the [xxx], my 2012 Hyundai Accent caught fire in the engine compartment and engulfed in flames. Right before the fire started, smoke came out of the air vents into the car, causing me to become stifled and choke for several minutes. Smoke was also coming out of the hood. At that point, I lifted the hood and there were flames coming out of the engine. During the past six months prior to the fire, I developed a chronic cough and now believe it might have been attributed to fumes that I have been inhaling through the air vents from my car's engine. My [xxx] mother and [xxx] son have suffered headaches, coughing, sore throat and congestion when riding in my car with the air conditioner turned on. The remains of the vehicle were inspected by the rockdale county fire department after they extinguished the fire. What remains of the car is available for inspection in rockdale county GA at a tow yard designated by the rockdale county emergency rescue team members who assisted me. It was too damaged to tow to my home. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the engine catching fire on [xxx].

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.

Purchased in January 2023 with 99k miles. Performed oil change on day 1. Checked fluid levels every 1500 miles, noticed oil was low, ( no smoking, no burning oil smell, no idea where oil was going?) began adding oil, and checking every 500 miles. Always about 1/4 quart low. Changed oil, and filter every 3000 miles. At approximately 119k, started hearing a small ticking sound, was told to use better gas, so began using premium gas. Didn't change the ticking. At 120k tick became a loud knock, after new oil/filter change (I changed oil early at approximately 1800 miles to try to alleviate tick. Decided to drive to mechanic shop when engine light came on and showed knock sensor code. I bought a knock sensor and replaced old one. Shop says rod bearing is causing to noise, and asked to see old oil which I keep in new oil containers. After I change, to dispose of at auto store. Bottom of oil containers was full of fine metal. Tell me the engine might have recall. However 2012 Accent 1. 6 gdi I not on recall, but 2012 veloster is, among others that use the same engine. I believe the recall on other vehicles is due to exactly what's happed to mine. Why is the 2012 Accent GS not included in the recalls for engine replacement? I've emailed huyndia of America, and they say I am responsible for fixing the engine? I feel no amount of maintenance would have kept this from happening. I've thought maybe if check engine light had come on when ticking first started I could have taken car to dealer and that tick might not have became rod bearing clanking, and knocking? please help to add 2012 Accent to recall. Ive read many other stories describing the same problem. Thank you.

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.

When the car stops at a stop sign or traffic light the engine sometimes stalls and the engine and eps warning light turn on. Also sometimes when trying to accelerate, acceleration is not possible, especially on the highway. This is a major safety risk of rear-end accidents.

Car turns off while driving continuesly misfires even after replacing coils and spark plugs check engine light on and flashes car charger port keeps blowing fuses.

Driving down the highway car caught fire.

I am very unsatisfied with the fact that I have to get my oil changed 1 every month, due to burning oil as well as hard ride. My car will not pass inspection after 2024, due to emissions, I paid $600 to get a passed sticker and sick of dumping money into this vehicle. There have been so many recalls on this car. What is Hyundai willing to do ? I’ve purchased this vehicle in 2013 from brad benson Hyundai on route 1. Please get my car running normal again. I have most of my receipts for all repairs and maintenance. I have 150,000 miles on the vehicle. Please help valvoline informed me of engine recall for my vehicle.

On August 5th after a 20 minute drive my car was parked in a friends driveway. Moments after exiting the vehicle the engine caught fire. There were no previous issues. Smells. Warning lights. Drove just fine. Thanks to a passing off duty fireman he stopped and sprang into action with the garden hose until the fire dept arrived just moments later. Because the engine was one giant melted mess allstate was unable to determine the cause. There were no injuries. Hyundai showed no recalls after entering my VIN number. It was my third Hyundai and still shocked this happened.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Accent . The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the vehicle started to vibrate while the abs, engine, 02 sensor, and the catalytic converter warning light illuminated and after a few moments it would stop vibrating.

After starting the engine and tapping on the accelerator, the car will accelerate on it's own and rev up to 1,500-2000 rpm without pressing on the accelerator. Even when braking. Returning the car to neutral causes the engine to rev up to or beyond 2,000 rpm until the vehicle has been turned off. This incident first occurred in April 2016. I was told there was an issue with the sensors by the Hyundai dealership. The issue resurfaced again in January 2017. This time they told me it was due to a carbon buildup in the fuel system. Now it's doing it again. I have seen many other reports of this happening to hyndai's on the internet. This is a huge safety issue.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Accent. While operating the vehicle, the vehicle accelerated on its own. While parked, the vehicle would rev to approximately 5,000-6,000 rpms even when the brake pedal was depressed or when the vehicle was in another gear. The only way to stop the failure was to remove the key from the ignition. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the throttle body needed to be cleaned. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.

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.

Approximately two days after having the vehicle repaired, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and was shipped to California for diagnosis. The failure mileage was approximately 202.
