general problems of the 2015 Hyundai Accent

My 2015 Hyundai Accent started having problems with oil consumption around 65000 miles. I got it checked regularly and the mechanic noticed it after it was having issues accelerating and losing power then cutting off completely. I had to constantly check oil each week or sooner. A couple months later it started losing power on high way and there was a clicking/ticking coming from engine. I pulled over and cut it off. Then drove it slowly (under 30 mph) to car store down the road to add oil but it was fine. Was able to get back home on back roads going slowly. Mechanic told me there oil consumption was a problem with these types of cars and likely causing engine problems. The whole time I had problems the check engine, battery, and oil light would constantly come on and go off. When they hooked it up to see why check engine light was on there were about 15 different codes. One of them being the variable valve solenoid which I ended up replacing both first but still had problems. It would accelerate but there was still a ticking noise upon accelerating. I didn’t drive it for a few weeks then the day I was going to take it back to shop, my husband, his friend, and I were on highway a couple minutes from home and hit a bump and heard a loud thud when the ticking stopped but the car beside us was waving to get our attention that the car was on fire. There was smoke coming through a. C. And you could see it in the rear. My husband quickly pulled over and when I went to get out of passengers side, flames shot up my side of the door so I quickly jumped across out his side. We were able to all get out ok. Luckily there was a firetruck coming down the highway before I could even get ahold of dispatch on 911. The cars front end was engulfed in flames which they were able to put out quickly. The hood was roasted. I’m not sure if they determined the cause and my car is still sitting in the lot where they towed it. Unfortunately I had a lapse in insurance because I was out of work.

My 2015 Hyundai Accent started having issues with oil consumption at about 80,000 miles or so. I was having to check and add oil to the vehicle regularly in addition to oil changes. The oil consumption issue got worse as the vehicle got higher in miles, having to check and add oil every 600-1000 miles approximately. I was not aware of the known issue with Hyundai motors and the oil consumption so I was not tracking milage or dates of adding oil unfortunately. At about 100,135 miles, the vehicle suddenly broke down on my way to work. There was no warning other than the oil consumption problem. The car rpms got very high and the car started decelerating until it wouldn't go forward anymore and was stalled on the side of the road. I had the vehicle towed to a Hyundai dealership and at this time it waiting for the diagnosis, however, they are sure that the head gasket has to be removed (for $500) to get that diagnosis. When the car died, there were no warning lights on at all, however, previously, there had been lights for low oil occasionally, but not always, when the oil was low. Many times when I checked and the oil was low, there was no light that indicated that it was low.

On 15 Mar 2024 the engine in my 2015 Hyundai Accent suddenly failed while traveling on I-80 w near milesburg, PA. While attempting to accelerate, the vehicle completely stopped. It was able to be coasted to the side of the roadway, but was unable to be driven after that. It was towed back to south williamsport to steve shannon's garage (where it still sits). After inspection by the mechanics it was noted that there was a hole through the engine (not from puncture) to where they were able to watch the pistons moving from underneath. There were no warnings or issues prior to this event. This event put my brother, sister in law and two toddler nephews in danger as they sat on the side of I-80 waiting an hour for me to get there to pick them up, as they were borrowing my vehicle to take a family trip to the pittsburgh zoo. I believe the speed limit in that area is 65mph. Therefore, traffic (to include semi-trucks) were traveling at least 65mph passing the vehicle and my family on the side of the road. Psp was able to come out and stage with their lights activated until my arrival.

I have a 2015 Hyundai Accent with the 1. 6l engine and have had to put on 3 catalytic converters in less than a year. The last one only lasting 1 month. I have taken it to a shop and had all repairs done there as well as having spark plugs changed and had the sensors replaced.

The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Accent. The contact stated that after parking the vehicle in the garage, approximately four hours later the contact was awaken by the dog and discovered flames coming from the garage. The fire department was called to the home and extinguished the flames. During the incident the home was partial destroyed and deemed unlivable and the vehicle was also destroyed. A fire report was taken at the scene. The home insurance inspector later indicated that the fire originated from the engine compartment of the vehicle. No physical injuries were reported, but the contact had experienced severe stress and anxiety from the incident. The manufacturer was not contacted regarding the incident. The local dealer was notified. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in the NHTSA campaign number: 23v651000(service brakes, hydraulic). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced that same failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 78,000.

The contact called on behalf of the niece owner. The niece owns a 2015 Hyundai Accent. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 mph the vehicle was stalling. The vehicle also made loud unknown ticking sounds. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the residence. There was a personal independent mechanic who diagnosed a failure with the engine. The contact also stated unknown dealer was notified of the failure.

My check engine light came on and stayed on, while the oil light appeared when my car was in idle and the engine began to knock. My aaa approved mechanic determined that the engine had a rod knock and the oil pressure at idle was only 3 psi. In other words, the the engine had completely failed and would have to be replaced. At 36,000 miles !I had the car towed to the local dealership where they confirmed this diagnosis and noted excessive metal debris in the oil and oil pan. My research revealed that an identical engine manufacturing defect had resulted in a class action suit against Hyundai which was settled in 2018. Hyundai was forced to replace the engines with new ones and cover all the owners costs for 3. 9 million complainants. They also suffered a huge fine by the NHTSA. Because of covid lockdowns, I had driven my car very little in 2020, otherwise this catastrophic failure would have occurred well within the the 5 year warranty period. As it was, the warranty had expired approximately 4 months earlier. The dealership contacted Hyundai n. A. And I was offered a "goodwill offer" which allowed me to pay over $3200 for a reconditioned engine with a warranty of only 1 year or 12,000 miles. It is my contention that no reputable car manufacturer would consider an engine life of only 36,000 miles to be acceptable. There is no question that the engine failure was, in any way, my fault and I have the maintenance records to prove it. My "goodwill offer" expired and I towed my car home. Of course, I was fortunate that my engine did not fail on the freeway, at high speed, or burst into flames as some Hyundai engines have been known to do.

Engine blew.

This computer malfunction has created dangerous situations. The car is unpredictable and hazardous to me and everyone in traffic. 6/8/when the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light, the battery light came on and the car could not move. After I turned off the engine and then turned it on again, the problem was gone and I could drive. 7/27/the problem recurred in a similar fashion, again after stopping at a traffic light. Only this time multiple lights came on on the dash board, and the car could not move. After restarting I could keep driving. 9/24/while driving, multiple lights came on on the dash board. A few moments later they went off, but the trip odometers a/b reset themselves to 0. 1/17/the same problem recurred. While driving, multiple lights came on on the dash board. A few moments later they went off, but the trip odometers a/b reset themselves to 0. Repairs to fix the problem: the cluster was replaced. The alternator was replaced. But the problem has been recurring again.
