Exterior Lighting Problems of Hyundai Accent

Side marker light in the passenger side (ps) headlight assembly is not working. Headlight (high beam and low beam) and combination turn signal/parking light are working. First noticed Feb 2024. Malfunctioning marker light will cause vehicle to fail annual state safety inspection. Problem is not intermittent. Car hasn't been inspected by dealer or other shop, dealer wants $169 to inspect/troubleshoot. Owner evaluation, ps headlight assy, marker light bulb and socket are undamaged, there is no corrosion, car has not been in a crash, functioning bulb/socket from ds installed in ps did not function. Hyundai has issued (at least) 2 technical service bulletins for excessive moisture in headlight assys. Electrical circuit for malfunctioning light is internal to the light fixture. Since 2 of the 3 lights in the headlight assy are working, suggests the headlight assembly is at fault. I have yet to check if there is 12v at the wire harness plug on the pin that supplies electricity to the marker light.

September 2020 the car would not start after sitting for awhile, I recently had replaced the battery. Once I got the car to start, when. I slowed the car cut off while I was on a busy street, it's not the alternator everything was still on in the car. The check engine light appeared before the car cut off. Got started again, was able to drive. I've replaced fuel pump, cam shaft sensors, new battery. Any time I drive it the car cuts out when I am at a stop light, the car loses power while driving on the highway, and have to change the oil more often than 3000 miles. I find that I have to top my oil monthly. My check engine comes on randomly and goes off randomly. When I took the car to Hyundai regarding the check engine light, they stated it was a sensor issue.

I dont no why but my engine will randomly stall out even in the middle of making a. Left or a right-hand turn and it's scary when I a. M. At an intersection intersection and I doll out then I have to shut my car off completely turn it back on and pump the gas. Till it starts . Few days later my warning lights came on the meters and lights shot up quick and. Then the car shut down I was so freaked out my husband took it to the dealer ship they stated it was. A tire valve sensor they claimed to have checked all the fluids which I no was not the oil was burnt when I got out and checked old oil they want me to pay before they can repair but tire valve is not the #1 because I had another shop change. Out the stem these random occurrences happen today and warning lights still on. I read these sensor àre covered upto 100,000 miles.

The system that malfunctioned was the brake light(s) and/or electrical components which started a fire in the trunk of my car on 2 separate occasions. On one of the occasions, the top break light in my trunk apparently blew out without my knowledge, it wasn't until my two kids in the backseat started to smell smoke that I pulled over and tried to figure out where the smoke was coming from. When I opened my trunk, I noticed the top break light had burned through the encasement and the wiring was dangling in my trunk which caught a plastic bag on fire. On another occasion, it burned part of a brand-new rug before I caught it in time. I was told by two separate auto mechanics that for some reason the electrical current running through the wiring to the light bulbs is what caused it. When I brought it into Hyundai, they acted like it was no big deal. I recently got my oil changed at valvoline this past week and they found another one of my brake lights had blown out (this time the right brake light), the auto mechanic at valvoline told me that she has encountered a lot of blown-out lights in Hyundais versus other vehicle manufacturers and stated she believes it has something to do with the electrical components of the vehicle and an excess amount of electricity going through the electrical wiring to the light bulbs. My vehicle can be made available for inspection but it’s my fault for when I brought it in originally to Hyundai not to ask for the broken/melted pieces that they replaced. I do have the rug which was partially burned but do not have the plastic bag that was burned. Both my kids under 10 and myself were put at risk during these episodes. If I didn’t catch it in time on both occasions, my kids could've been severally injured by fire since they were closest to the trunk. It posed a distraction as well. The problem was confirmed by the Hyundai dealership in winter park, FL when I brought it in. There were no warnings, only noticed when we smelled smoke.

Occasionally, when going to usr my vehicle, I will try to unlock the car with my fob and notice it won't respond. Upon starting my vehicle, the engine turns over but my electronics don't fully activate. My clock is off, the radio doesn't turn on, and I can't use the dome lights. However, my dashboard information panel does display my odometer, fuel, and temp gauge, and I can scroll through the display options, but they have all reset. My telltale warning lights come on briefly like a normal start, and when they go away my tpms telltale remains flashing, indicating it's not getting a signal from my tires. Finally, though my engine sounds like is running, I can't put my vehicle in gear. My only fix has been to let the vehicle sit with the engine running for any where between 2 and 20 minutes, turn the vehicle off, and retry. Once it finally decides to turn on normal, the clock will display, although reset, my tpms no longer displays, and I can get into gear. Time sitting seems to not effect it because it can sit for days and work normal or hours and act up. My only possible explanation seems to involve the weather after getting very cold or excessive precipitation, but even that isn't necessarily going to guarantee this problem. It may just be pure randomness and it doesn't seem right at all.

Auto lights continue to stay on causing the battery to die.

Regarding NHTSA reference # 1088179: my air bag light started staying on around February 2017. I made appointment on phone with only Hyundai certified service dealer near my home 3-2017and drove to chico (70 miles away). They said it must be battery and charged me for a new battery. I called them around April 1, 2017 telling them light was still coming on and they said I would have to buy a whole new seat and system, no safety issue recognized by Hyundai, therefore I would be responsible to entire cost regardless of safety issues. I called Hyundai USA which gave me a case # 1012618 but said there is no recall on file with Hyundai and I could file a complaint with NHTSA. I am sending them a copy of what I am filing with you. I looked up other Hyundai Accent 2007 complaints and Hyundai said there's not enough to make a recall. A local auto repair agreed to replace items for my paid invoice amount enclosed. I'm filing this now because I don't want to be a statistic for seat belt failure or faulty air bag deployment and maybe help someone else.

Break light recall - location mount vernon, ohio - date 12-12-2015 I was driving to a christmas event and was pulled over by a state highway patrol officer due to my breaklights being out. I pulled over in the nearest parking lot and had my boyfriend look at it. He said there is a little switch behind the break area that was stuck. He flicked it a few times and it came loose and started working. I am glad the officer let me know before I got into I-71 traffic. I would like to know how to take care of this.

Noticed my airbag light on not sure why I have not been in accident nor run into anything. Only one of my breaklights (passenger side) out. Recently had stop light replaced.

The brake/stop lamp switch has failed again. The switch was replaced in 2009 under the first recall issued for this problem. Another recall occurred in April of 2013, for select 2006 Hyundai Accents. Mine was not covered in this second recall. The switch has failed again and I believe this should have been included in the second recall.

Preparing to make a right turn I notice when I press on my brakes my signal would stop blinking. Brakes and signal do not work together anymore. So now I can not signal my intention and brake at the same time. I read that htere was a recall on brake lamp switch but not for 2010. So the issue still a problem for 2010 Accent. . . .

The brake lamp switch became defective intermittently, approximately 10,000 miles ago. It has now failed completely. . Read more...

I noticed my vehicle's break light switch was faulty after bringing in my car for an oil change. After coming home and noticing it, I realized that there was a recall on the same exact part for my make model year (Hyundai Accent 2009). After calling the local dealership, they said that it was not covered underneath the recall. I am skeptical that Hyundai made there recall large enough to cover all of the impacted vehicles, thus this post. . Read more...

I had to have stop lamp switch replaced may 14,2013.

"Hyundai motor company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Accent. Hyundai's recall campaign number is 110. " I have a 2009 Hyundai Accent that has had a break light switch failure back in April 2013 and now in November 2014. In 2013 Hyundai did a supposed fix based on campaign 110 . . . The "fix" has failed and again all three break lights have gone out at once. In 2013 I contacted Hyundai corporate and they assisted in getting the issue dealt with. The 'fix," though, has failed and now Hyundai is saying my 09 has no known issues or recalls. I spoke with them and received a case number 7005091 and have spoken with a bob, nancy, and nikki and have been given different stories starting with it was only 06 and 07 Hyundai Accents recalled for break light switch issues even though cars. Com and motortrends. Com reported otherwise and when I called back informing them that the NHTSA has 09 Accents also listed the story became that it's only certain 09 Accents. The issue is now over VIN number. What I know it that I have a 2009 Hyundai Accent that has had not one but two break light switch failures . . . An issue known in these type of cars by them and the federal government . . . But Hyundai is not recognizing that there is an issue.

Stop lamp switch malfunction. Apparently this is/was a problem on many Hyundai cars from 2007 because they issued a recall on over half a million cars. My specific car (VIN number) was not included; however my stop lamp switch did malfunction. I feel like I should have been part of that recall.

I reported that the dash of my car felt hot all of the time and that I could not get one of the warning lights to go out. I sent the car to the dealership for repair under my bumper to bumper warranty and they would not honor my request. All of this was before this massive recall. The first day that I drove this car I took it back to the dealership because the same warning light would not go out; they would not help me. This was a dangerous car and I have lost a lot of money behind it and the company not honoring their contract.
