2012 Hyundai Accent

ON MAY 30, 2020 I BOUGHT AN HYUNDAI 2012 MODEL: ACCENT GLS IN AN AUTHORIZED MOTOR TREND CERTIFIED DEALER AT 995 N. 107 TH AVE. AVONDALE, AZ 85323. STOCK NO. P5607A. I PAID ALREADY MY DOWN PAYMENT, DEALER DOCUMENTARY FEE, AND LICENSE, REC TITLE AND PLATE. AT THIS TIME I CONTINUE WITH A PROVISIONAL TEMPORARY VEHICLE REGISTRATION. I AM PAYING MONTHLY TO THE CREDIT UNION WEST MY CHARGE TO THIS BANK, THAT IT'S THE FINANCIER BANK CHOOSE BY DEALER. I AM DOING PRESSURE OVER DEALER IN ORDER TO COMPLETED THE DOCUMENTATION IN MOTOR VEHICLE DIVISION PHOENIX, ARIZONA TO MY NAME AS OWNER, AND ALSO TO RECEIVED MY TOTAL DOCUMENTATION AND PLATE. LAST THURSDAY AUGUST 13, 2020 THIS VEHICLE HAVE HAD A REVISION IN NHTSA AND SENT AN IMPORTANT VEHICLE SAFETY RECALL INFORMATION AND REFERS IN THIS DOCUMENT: RECALL DATE: 2020-07-02. NHTSA # 20V-393000, MFR#193. STATUS: RECALL STATUS INCOMPLETE. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS SITUATION. LAST FRIDAY AUGUST 14, 2020, I BEGIN A COMPLAINT AGAINST THIS DEALER THROUGH FIELD OFFICE MOTOR VEHICLE DIVISION IN PHOENIX, AZ. CORDIALLY, [XXX] CUSTOMER INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AFTER I SEE I HAVE A RECALL IN THE NHTSA WEBPAGE, I TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN TORRANCE, CA. AS A RESULT I WAS TOLD "THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING AND CAN'T PROVIDE A SOLUTION OR AN AGENCY TO CLEAR OUT THIS ISSUE". THE PROBLEM IS THAT: "IF THE COMPRESSOR ACCESSORY IS CONNECTED TO THE 12V OUTLET TO INFLATE A TIRE WILL POSSIBLY CAUSE AN OVERHEAT AT THE CAR OUTLET". I STATED: "I DON'T HAVE SUCH ACCESSORY AND I HAVE A REGULAR SPARE TIRE". AFTER THAT WAS CONFIRMED I REQUESTED TO CLEAR THE RECALL SINCE I DON'T HAVE THAT ACCESSORY AND ONLY THAT ACCESSORY CAUSE THE PROBLEM TO THE OUTLET. THAT DIDN'T CHANGE THEIR ATTITUDE TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION AND THE TECHNICIAN RAYMOND SAID: "WE ARE SORRY BUT THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO". IN MY OPINION DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO TAG A CAR "UNSAFE WITH A RECALL" FOR AN EXTERNAL ACCESSORY THAT IS NOT EVEN IN THE CAR OR IN THE MARKET. SOLUTION 1: CREATE A PERMANENT STICKER AND SET NEXT TO THE 12V OUTLET "DO NOT CONNECT DEVICES THAT CONSUME MORE THAN (WHAT EVER ARE THE AMPS OR WATTS THAT CAUSE THE OVERHEAT) SOLUTION 2: DISSEMBLE THE 12V OUTLET AND RE-ASSEMBLE WITH THE CORRECT TORQUE ADD TO THE RECALL "MINOR ISSUE, CAR PERFORMANCE IS NOT IN DANGER"

2012 HYUNDAI ACCENT 4DR SEDAN KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND CODE IS STORED, THE CODE IS FOR KNOCK SENSOR NEEDING TO BE REPLACED...THE TRUE REASON FOR THIS TO PUT OUT CODE FOR KNOCK SENSOR FAUILARE ARE THAT THE CONNECTING ROD BEARING IS GOING OUT AND THAT LITTLE BIT OF PLAY BETWEEN THE ROD AND CRANK MAKES THE KNOCK SENSOR CODE COME UP IT KNOCKS MOVING OR NOT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROUBLEM THE ENGINE COULD HAVE A SERIOUS ENGINE FAILUARE AND AT MID SPEED IT CAN AND WILL BE LIFE TREATING, FIRE, PARTS BEING THROWN THREW FIRE WALL HITTING OCCUPANTS IN CAR OR OUTSIDE IT STARTED THE KNOCKING AT 130000 MILES I AM A MECHANIC OF OVER 40 YEARS

THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CONNECTING ROD BROKE AND FAILED ON THE NUMBER ONE PISTON. PIECES OF METAL CAUSED THE CRANKSHAFT TO LOCK UP AND PIECES PIERCED THE BLOCK CAUSING COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. THE CONNECTING ROD WAS CAST WRONG AND IT SEEMS AFTER THE CAR HAS 100K MILES IT GIVES OUT. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

MY CAR WOULD NOT START ALL OF A SUDDEN EVEN THOUGH ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON WITH KEY IN, BATTERY WAS CHECKED AND DEEMED FINE AND STARTER WAS CONFIRMED AS GOOD. WAS TOWED TO MY MECHANIC, RAN DIAGNOSTICS, NOTHING WRONG CAME UP AND THEY WERE ABLE TO START IT RIGHT UP. NOW HOME AND 10 DAYS LATER AND I HAVE NO START ISSUE AGAIN. STATIONARY IN MY CONDO LOT BOTH TIMERS. *TR

THE SWITCH FOR THE WINDOWS IN THE BACK SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. THERE WAS A LOUD POP! AND SUDDENLY THE WINDOWS COULDN'T BE RAISED BACK UP AND INSTEAD STAYED AT HALF MAST. IT HAPPENED TO ONE REAR WINDOW, AND THEN A COUPLE MONTHS LATER, HAPPENED TO THE OTHER. I HAVE TO MANUALLY PUSH THE WINDOWS UP WITH MY HANDS WHEN THE REAR WINDOWS FALL.

THE RED AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, AND THE PASSENGER SENSOR IS ALWAYS OFF EVEN WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I WERE TO BE IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. THIS STARTED AT ABOUT 115,000 MILES. THE CAR ALSO RECENTLY STARTED TO EAT UP MY GAS FOR NO VALID REASON. I DROVE 1.5 MILES, YET USED UP 10 MILES OF GAS, ENTIRELY ABIDING BY TRAFFIC LAWS AND SIGNS.

GOT CAR IN 2011 IN 2015 IT STOPPED WORKING AFTER MAKING LOUD NOISES THAT BEGAN WITH A CHIRP, FOUND OUT IT WAS ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. HAD TO BORROW TO FIX IT IT WAS 700.00 +. 14 MONTHS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN, THE SHOP GUY WAS SO ANGRY HE CONTACTED HIS PARTS GUY AND GOT ANOTHER ALTERNATOR, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO JOSEPH'S GARAGE AND THEY INSTALLED THE SECOND ALERNATOR! NOW ITS DOING IT AGAIN!!!! I CANNOT KEEP DOING THIS. GOING TO FTC, BBB, AND ATTORNEY GENERAL. ALSO FEDERAL CONSUMER PROTECTION.

I HAVE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED THIS. MY 2012 HYUNDAI ACCENT WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OFTEN SURGES. ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WILL CONTINUE AT SAME SPEED OR EVEN ACCELERATE WHEN I LIFT MY FOOT. STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, IT WILL LURCH FORWARD WHEN THE CAR AHEAD OF ME MOVES AND I LIFT MY FOOT. WHEN PARKING, IT WILL RED-LINE WHEN I SHIFT TO NEUTRAL OR PARK. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT HAPPENS THROUGHOUT CERTAIN TRIPS, FROM WHEN I BEGIN TO DRIVE, UNTIL I EXIT THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR EVALUATION, THEY SAY THERE ARE NO CODES, SO IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. APPARENTLY IT DID NOT OCCUR DURING THEIR TEST DRIVE. THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. WHEN CAR TRIES TO RUN AWAY, I TURN OFF THE KEY. WILL THAT REMEDY CONTINUE TO WORK?
