The metallic silver paint that the company used to cover the black plastic housing for the window and lock buttons easily scratches and scrapes off with "normal" routine touching and with "normal" resting of the arms on these area. The company rep won't admit that they used cheap paint or didn't think about these "high traffic" areas when deciding to use inferior non-durable paint on these parts. I have only had my car for 6 months and the dpsm from Hyundai (marietta, georgia - southern headquarters) is not acknowledging the bad manufacturing choice of using the substandard, non-durable coating for these parts. These metallic painted parts cannot withstand everyday "normal" use, as they become unattractive and worn in a very short period of time. (within 6 months - in my case).

The vehicle rear ended a Ford escape at under 20 mph. The Hyundai sustained extensive front end and engine damage. The car was totaled and not repaired. The other vehicle received minor rear bumper damage. The air bags on the Hyundai did not deploy and the driver hit her forehead and receive a bruised bump that did not require medical attention.

Takata recall. My wife was sideswiped by a hit and run driver and ran off the road onto a rough vacant field. Airbag failed to deploy and she hit her head on the steering wheel and suffered a skull fracture. Two weeks after the accident she started having memory problems and has suffered 5 strokes and a CT scan shows brain damage. This has gone on since April of 2012 and the car was just a few months old with approxamatly 8,000 miles on the car. It did about $ 8000. 00 dollars in damage which was never repaired right until alfa insurance company in alabama sent us to the best body man around and he replaced the entire front end of the outer panels and all of the underside supports and matched the paint perfect. I expect my wife to either be in a nursing home or more strokes may kill her. I don't have the accident report since it's been almost 4 years since the accident. The Hyundai Accent is a death trap in my opinion and should not be on our united states roads at all. That car will kill you in the slightest accident and my wife is turning into a vegetable before my eyes. Thank you, james l kirby in coker, alabama 35452. She did have a witness that was installing cable tv lines on a power pole she almost hit. We did file a lawsuit against and the attorney settled for about $10,000. 00 and he sold us out. She can't have nursing care for that amount.

I was approaching a line of cars stopped at a red light and it was raining. When I applied my brakes the rear wheels of my anti-lock brake system failed and the rear wheels locked up. I slid out of control into the rear of the car in front of me.

About 4 months after I bought a 2012 Hyundai Accent new, the rear plastic bumper cover, in the area by the exhaust pipe, developed a 2-inch or so crack with no seeming cause. I didn't hit anything, and nothing hit me. I'm assuming it was related to hot exhaust gases hitting the cover. Hyundai did pay for the repair. However, 3 years later, another similarly sized crack has developed in the same area. As you know, in many cars the exhaust pipe extends beyond the rear bumper. So, in those cars, the rear bumpers don't get hit by hot exhaust gases. That's not the case with the 2012 Accents. Perhaps Hyundai needs to extend the exhaust pipe beyond the bumper. For those who think maybe a rock did the damage in both cases---my front plastic bumper (like your front bumper) routinely/occasionally gets hit with little pebbles and rocks thrown at it by other cars in front of me, but that bumper has no cracks, just little nicks in the plastic. So I don't think rocks caused both cracks, and I don't think it's merely a coincidence that both cracks are located by the exhaust pipe. Anybody else experience anything similar?.

The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Accent. The contact stated that the sun visor was attached by a thin wire that caused it to slightly detach from the roof of the vehicle. The sun visor obstructed the view of the driver. The failure occurred to both front sun visors. The contact took the vehicle to Hyundai of auburn (823 opelika rd, auburn, al 36830; 334-321-0777) who diagnosed that the mechanism that held the sun visors in place and the sun visors themselves needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 38,000.

The car is has a very low body. As such, it gets damaged every time the car goes over a bump. The car has not yet hit 100,000 miles and it is already falling apart. I reached out to Hyundai and asked them to take a look but they declined.

The spoiler(ft bumper) totally ripped off my vehicle while driving 70 mph on the highway. I ran over it and then retrieved it. The rivets came right out of vehicle. The tires did not fail but the next day the warning light came on. I contacted Hyundai dealership they stated they wanted me to file an accident report. But I didn't have an accident the equipment is faulty the method in which its attached to the main frame. Aluminum rivets and glue. The vibration of the road and the airflow coming up underneath made the spoiler rip off. I didn't have anything to do with it coming off. Very dangerous and safety issues if the tires busted the car would have flipped many times and I would have been seriously injured or dead. Updated ivoq 09/10/09.
