WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY DRIVER SIDE MIRROR STARTED TO VIBRATE AND THEN DISCONNECTED FROM MY CAR. LUCKILY THE POWER MIRROR CORD STOPPED THE UNIT FROM FALLING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND SECURE THE MIRROR. THE AUTO IS A 2008 HYUNDAI ACCENT WITH ONLY 10,500 MILES ON IT. THE MIRROR LOOKED LIKE IT HAD DEFECTIVE INTERNAL PARTS. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE MANAGER INSPECTED THE MIRROR AND COULD FIND NO REASON FOR THE MALFUNCTION OTHER THAN THE INTERIOR PARTS SIMPLY BROKE. HE INSPECTED THE MIRROR FOR A LONG TIME AND COULD FIND NO EXTERNAL DAMAGE AND DIDN'T BELIEVE THE UNIT WAS MISHANDLED. HE TOLD ME HE WOULD ORDER ME A NEW PART AND FILE A REPORT SO THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. HYUNDAI HAS DENIED MY WARRANTY CLAIM EVEN AFTER THE SERVICE MANAGER FOUND NO WRONG DOING ON MY PART. HYUNDAI HAS DENIED MY WARRANTY CLAIM WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE MIRROR OR LISTENING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 HYUNDAI ACCENT WITH 16" TIRES ON IT. THE MANUFACTURE PUT KUMO TIRE ON IT AND THEY SHOWED WEAR JUST @ 23000 KM .THEY REPLACED WITH A DIFFERENT KIND OF KUMO TIRES AND AT 17000 KM THEY ARE DONE AGAIN. HYUNDAI TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR AND TO CHANGE TO A DIFFERENT BRAND. IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE OR CAR. *TR

I OWN A 2008 HYUNDAI ACCENT, AND IT HAS ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE HAD IT IN THE SHOP TWICE THIS MONTH THE FIRST TIME FOR THE COILS AND THE SECOND FOR A MISS FIRE. THIS IS GETTING TO BE RIDICULOUS, I JUST GOT IT OUT THE SHOP 2 DAYS AGO AND NOW THE STEERING IS OFF, REALLY BAD. IT WAS SO BAD I COULD BARELY KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. NOW I'LL BE TAKING THIS CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME IN ONE MONTH. *TR

DURING MORNING TRAFFIC MY HYUNDAI 2002 ACCENT GS WAS HIT FROM THE REAR. THE COLLISION CAUSED MY SEAT TO COLLAPSE. THE SEAT COLLAPSING CAUSED MY BODY TO TRAVEL TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE CAR. I STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH THE FRONT OF MY CAR WHICH CAUSED MY BODY TO GO FORWARD. I NOTIFIED HYUNDAI ABOUT THE INCIDENT IN WRITING AND THERE RESPONSE WAS THAT THE SEAT WAS DESIGNED TO ABSORB THE IMPACT AND THAT THEY HAD NO OTHER COMMENT ON THE MATTER. THIS WAS NOT A MATTER OF ABSORBING AN IMPACT. THE SEAT COMPLETELY COLLAPSED. I HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION AND RESPONSES IN WRITING. I HAVE ALSO DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS HAD A SEAT COLLAPSE IN A REAREND COLLISION. HYUNDAI SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE SO THAT OTHERS CAN AVOID THE INJURIES THAT RESULT FROM NOT BEING ADEQUATELY RESTRAINED WHEN THE SEAT COLLAPSES. *TR
