general problems of the 2012 Hyundai Accent

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.

I have previously reported this. My 2012 Hyundai Accent with automatic transmission often surges. On the highway, it will continue at same speed or even accelerate when I lift my foot. Stopped in traffic, it will lurch forward when the car ahead of me moves and I lift my foot. When parking, it will red-line when I shift to neutral or park. This does not happen all the time, but happens throughout certain trips, from when I begin to drive, until I exit the car. I have been to the dealer for evaluation, they say there are no codes, so it didn't happen. Apparently it did not occur during their test drive. This is a chronic problem and has been going on for a couple of months. When car tries to run away, I turn off the key. Will that remedy continue to work?.

Driving on the highway I heard a knocking in the engine. The check engine light came on. I took the vehicle to get the light checked for a code and was told the knock sensor needed replacing. Took the car to the dealer I purchased it from and dealer said there was no code and no history of a code so they could do nothing about it after I told them how to replicate the knocking. Dealer released the car. Two days later while driving on the highway the light came back on and the engine continued knocking. I took it straight to the dealer again and they were able to replicate the issue and find a code. The dealer contacted the manufacturer about the code and the manufacturer recommended applying a patch to the knock sensor and, according to the dealer "see what happens". The dealer performed the patch and released the vehicle to me. The very next day I was driving home after work on the highway and the odometer went from 3000rpm's to 0. While I could try to engage the accelerator and could hear the engine rev no rpms registered. The vehicle went into an idle state and would not react. Causing many near accidents I was able to get the car to the shoulder before it became stationary. Attempted to restart car a dozen times and the rpm's would not register still. Car has now been with the dealer who has not been able to replicate the issue and has not reached out to the manufacturer. The cause and effect of an issue happening after applying a computer patch is not being investigated nor discussed with the manufacturer.

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.

Burns off 1/2 qt of oil every 1500 miles. Po326 (knock sensor) trouble code on chilli mornings. P050a (cold start) trouble code while driving.

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.

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. The contact stated that while at a parking lot, the vehicle began to accelerate independently without any warning. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 54,000.

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.

My car is a manual transmission and when press the clutch the rpm go up to 4,000 rpm and I think that is the acceleration pedal may stay stock because doesn't do it all the time. I used my car everyday to go to work I really treat the car good only have a 25. 000 miles on it.
