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.

Hyundai's current handling of recall 251 is inadequate, posing significant danger to drivers and passengers. Hyundai's remedy for recall 251 replaces abs fuse with a lower amperage fuse. While this may prevent fires caused by brake fluid leaks, it disables the abs, introducing severe safety hazards: •without abs, the risk of wheel lockup during heavy braking increases, leading to skidding and loss of control. •abs reduces stopping distances, especially on slippery surfaces. Disabling it may result in longer stopping distances, raising collision risks. •drivers accustomed to abs may not be prepared for how the vehicle behaves without it, potentially leading to improper braking. Federal regulations mandate that all u. S. Cars and minivans manufactured in 2012 or later must have four-wheel abs. By disabling the abs, Hyundai circumvents this requirement, compromising safety. Despite attempts to communicate these safety issues, Hyundai has shown inadequate response. This suggests a disregard for customer safety and an effort to avoid liability and the cost of providing loaner vehicles or temporary replacements. Hyundai has not offered alternative transportation to affected drivers. Given these safety risks and Hyundai's inadequate response, we urgently request NHTSA 1. Ensure recall 251 remedy does not compromise safety by disabling the abs. 2. Hold Hyundai accountable for maintaining four-wheel abs in affected vehicles. 3. Require Hyundai to develop a safer recall remedy that: ofixes the root cause: properly addresses the brake fluid leak to eliminate the fire risk without compromising the abs. Omaintains abs functionality: ensures the abs system remains fully operational. Oprovides safety support: advises vehicle owners not to drive affected vehicles until the new remedy is implemented and provides loaner vehicles or temporary replacements. We urge the NHTSA to take immediate & decisive action to compel Hyundai to develop a safer, more effective solution.

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.

Rear wheels make squeaking noises and steel wheel is to hot to touch and breaks smell like they are burning.

Tamara recall my car keeps shutting off and won't get any rpms and it doesn't show anything on the code reader, one of those times I had kids in the car and I had no brakes at all when it shut off the engine but kept the radio on.

On Saturday March 23, 2019 I was driving my 2012 Hyundai Accent on the highway. I was traveling in the left hand lane, on cruise control, going about 73 mph. A semi-truck in the right hand land a few hundred yards in front of me moved over into my lane due to a construction zone ahead, so I attempted to turn off my cruise control to slow down for the merging semi-truck. I applied the brakes but my car did not turn off cruise-control or slow down, but instead accelerated. I attempted again to hit the brakes to turn off cruise control, but again the car did not slow down. I tried both the cancel and the on/off buttons on the steering wheel, but there was no way to disengage cruise control. I was quickly approaching the semi-truck and was unable to slow down my moving vehicle. In order to avoid rear-ending the semi-truck at highway speeds, I was forced to veer left off the highway onto the soft shoulder, and was traveling locked on cruise control at 73 mph halfway on the grass median and halfway on the rumble strip of the soft shoulder. The brakes and steering wheel switches were still not working, regardless of how much I applied the brakes or what combination I hit the switches. I was finally able to get my car to slow down by hitting the clutch and stalling my car. This was an absolutely horrific incident, and I am lucky to have been uninjured and to have avoided what could have been a very serious accident.

When driving, especially in colder temperatures, when accelerating and braking, the brakes feel like there is something not letting the pedal go down when you push them. Ever since I noticed that happen, the acceleration and speed stays at a higher speed when driving. I have to be very careful when accelerating behind another vehicle so it doesn't go too fast and hit the vehicle in front of me. I have to use my brakes a lot more right after accelerating.

Cracks in both rear brake rotors discovered during routine tier rotation.

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.

Ocassionally over a few week period I heard a noise like something needed to be greased but could no locate and checked engine belts which seemed alright. I drove the car and it seemed to be draging while maintaing speed and slowing down quickley during decileration. I arived at my destination and walked around the car. The passenger side rear tire and hub were smoking hot. I had the car towed to the dealer and they did some kind of repair for $97. 00 with a $10. . 00 part called a pkbrake kit. They have not provided me with an itemised bill and description of the work performed on my vehicle which I have requested. The multipoint inspection performed by dealer states aditional work may be necessary on the brakes but will not inform me what service I need. I am confused how ther are 11 repaire bulletins for my car and the service department never said anything to me or fixed anything.

I have continued to have problems with the braking system, steering and suspension which started when I was coming home from picking my son up from school Dec. 21 2012. There was snow on the road and I tried to slow down going down an incline but the brakes caused the car to jump, the steering would not respond fast enough and the suspension felt like we were riding on metal rims. I almost hit a telephone pole but we slowed in the softer snow which wasn't beat down yet. Ever since then when there is snow or icy roads especially up here in the mountains of west virginia I test the brakes, steering and suspension on the road I live on before going on the highway. Oh, I forgot to mention that if you should be unfortunate enough to hit a pothole it does through the car to the right if your right front wheel catches it and if your left front wheel catches one it will put you into oncoming traffic. I had this happen to me several times over the past years.
