general problems of the 2016 Hyundai Accent

The emergency brake light, abs light, and esc light all come on while driving & speedometer goes to 0. The speedometer also stops tracking mileage when these lights come on. This used to happen on & off, but now it’s almost permanent. Hundreds are reporting the same exact issue online, but mechanics cannot figure out what the problem is. Me and countless others have taken the vehicle to mechanics multiple times with no resolve and thousands of dollars worth of diagnostics that are incorrect and don’t resolve the issue. It is dangerous because we don’t know how fast we’re going, and we don’t know if your abs, emergency brakes, & esc are all working properly. This issue is impacting Hyundai Accents years 2015, 2016, & 2017 based on the multiple threads & posts online. I think it’s related to electrical issues too because my windshield wipers & blinkers will randomly malfunction while this is happening. A random online user said that it is a “Smart junction box” issue that needs to be replaced. Please look into this and issue a recall because thousands of people are spending thousands of hard-earned dollars with no resolve.

The car was rented by a turo host with defectuous brakes and worn-out tires. During 3 weeks and 3400 mi, forward disk brakes produced a thud of metallic grinding without effective braking at each brake. Forward tires were measured 2/32" and 'replace tire' marking were noticed on the treads. Rear tires were measured 3/32" and 'replacement tire monitor' marking were noticed on the treads. A rear tire exploded on a straight line, between 55 and 60 mph, the burst fortunately did not cause any swerve and the vehicle was able to be stopped on a few meters. During the journey, the driver's seat belt sometimes unlocks unexpectelly, even if initial locking has been checked by pulling on the buckle.

I've had my 2016 Hyundai Accent 5-door since February 2016. On several occasions, I have noticed two issues. The first is that coming to a complete stop, when pressing on the brake pedal it feels like something is hitting the ground beneath my foot on the underside. Dealership found nothing because they couldn't duplicate it. The second is when at a stop sign, etc. , and you start trying to increase the speed, the engine has a hard time gaining speed as quickly as it should. I have to press the acelerator to the floor board to get moving. I know that my vehicle isn't one with a huge engine but still it shouldn't struggle to gain speed every single time! I'm not very happy about this and will be taking it back to check both the brakes and engine.

I was in an accident with my 11 year old son. A woman ran a red light and we hit the car in the side completely mashing our front end. The air bags never deployed at all none of them. We were crossing the intersection on a green light!!.

I've had my 2016 Hyundai Accent 5-door since November 2015. On several occasions, I e noticed two issues. The first is that coming to a complete stop, the brakes make a strong sound, which I was told at the dealership that there are no problems with the brakes. The second is when at a stop sign, etc. , and you start trying to increase the speed, the engine doesn't gain speed as quickly as it should. I know that my vehicle isn't one with a huge engine but still it shouldn't struggle to gain speed every single time!
