ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

To preference, I have only owned this vehicle for less than six months, and that the only major issue concerning the vehicle was the replacement of the catalytic converter manifold. On the afternoon of [XXX] I was coming to a complete stop at a very busy 4-way located in Peach County, GA when the power to the entire vehicle was shut down. There was difficulty attempting to turn over the key in ignition, so with the help from a passerby I was able to push my vehicle to a safe location nearby as my vehicle was idle in the middle of a populated 4-way intersection, putting my and others’ safety at risk. As I go to check under the hood, I look for any components out of place and to check fluids. I check my oil dipstick to notice that there was metal residue in my oil, something that was not present previous to my commute in the area. As I am now able to turn over the ignition, a sputtering noise begins to emit from the engine, a noise that was also not present previous to my commute. Within the hour I was able to move my car, albeit slowly to a U-Haul location; it should also be known that my check engine light appeared in the process (no warning lamps were present on the vehicle prior to the engine failure). I returned home and instantly got in contact with my technician who does repairs to my car and he confirmed after inspecting the oil and noise from the engine that it was engine failure and that there may have been a ‘recall on the engine’ as did another mechanic I advised with. I called my local dealership about any recalls on my vehicle to which they said no, I then called the customer service hotline to begin a claim on my vehicle: I asked questions in relations to warranty, the previous owner, service history that may have went undocumented all with it being that the conclusion from the operator was that the warranty that was attached to the vehicle was expired and that it would not have covered the repair of the engine anyway. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C.

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

I had two different mechanics I trust tell me that this car has a particular engine that had an error in manufacturing, but Hyundai didn't correct it, because it would cost them too much. The error is heavy oil burning, such that it destroys the catalytic converter. I am now on my third catalytic converter in this car, and the check-engine light is beginning to flicker. Mechanic recommended contacting Hyundai corporate to file a complaint. He knows of others with this same engine, and dealers in New Hampshire have been able to get new engine replacements. I tried to call Hyundai corporate, but they refuse to take any information from me and tell me I would have to buy a new engine if I want to replace it. Mechanics have said that the cost would be heavy for Hyundai if they admitted the problem. But they must be aware of the problem, since they have replaced some engines for people who have the time and money to chase them around. The problem developed well before the 100,000 mile warrantee expired. The car is now over that limit, but the issue was first reported before that limit was reached.

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

My catalytic converter failed on my car and will eventually needed a new engine. I was driving a busy road doing about 55 miles per hour and my car suddenly dropped down to 3-5 miles per hour without warning now flashing light on the dash nothing. I could have been killed or hit causing a multi car accident. I was so scared and it was so hot I thought my engine was going to blow. I coasted back into the auto place that just preformed my oil change thinking they had done something wrong. They did a throughall diagnostic of my car and my car was read that my catalytic converter was bad. So I then got my car to the Pearson Hyundai dealership where there formally diagnosed my car stating that I needed to replace my catalytic converter for 2500 - 3000, but I had done my research and new it was a known problem. People in several Hyundai Forums have been complaining about this same issue. I asked for assistance in getting my car repaired from Pearson Hyundai, Hyundai USA, and I even wrote a letter to the CEO of Hyundai to no avail. I have been without my car since June. Hyundai has a real issue with oil consumption, bad catalytic converters and they need to replace my engine warranty or not. I feel my vehicle is very unsafe and I am nervous to drive it. I can't drive it if I wanted to more then a few feet because it chokes up and the goes 3-5 miles per hour feel like it is going to die at any moment. I am asking that Hyundai take ownership of it's faulty car parts and do the right thing by its consumers. Anything could have happened to me in that day in June and it seems nobody is worried about it. Hyundai can not just pick and chose who gets a replacements when other models are having the same issue. There were no prior warning lights or signs other than the error code that the auto place provided.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

I have already submitted a report here and never had any follow up and I don't see it in the reported complaints section of this website with newer incidents already showing so I know it isn't that there is a back log. my car caught on fire while I was in the car, asleep. I have reports from the fire department, I have struggled with Hyundai for months and ultimately was denied any assistance due to I was missing one of two service records. the fire report clearly stated that fire started in the cabin of the car not the engine so a lack of an oil change shouldn't have been the reason this happened. this event has traumatized me and continues to be an enormous burden on me and my family and their lack of caring is beyond disheartening. I easily could have died that day, by all accounts I should have. I would greatly appreciate some sort of follow-up as I feel like I'm just being completely ignored and discredited. I would gladly provide more information as to the actual incident if needed but like I said I have already done so in another report and don't want to do it again if it's just going to be ignored a second time.

I would gladly provide more information as to the actual incident if needed but like I said I have already done so in another report and don't want to do it again if it's just going to be ignored a second time.

Corrective Action:

I have already submitted a report here and never had any follow up and I don't see it in the reported complaints section of this website with newer incidents already showing so I know it isn't that there is a back log. my car caught on fire while I was in the car, asleep.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Potential Consequences:

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.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

My car slowly started losing power and was not able to accelerate. My car would not go over 5 miles an hour as I pushed on the peddle. The engine was making noises every time I pushed on the peddle. My check engine light was also on. I got my car towed to AAA where they informed me that there was no oil in my engine and my engine was severely damaged. My last oil change was October 24, 2023 at 102,132 miles. I was advised my next oil change would be around 106,000. My car was reported with no oil on December 30, 2023 at 104,349 miles. My car is deemed ineligible for an extended warranty for my engine despite the recent engine recalls for Hyundais and having my car experience similar symptoms as other Hyundais with the same engine problem.

STRUCTURE:BODY

Potential Consequences:

October 2017 I purchased a 2017 Hyundai Accent. During my very first month driving this car right bumper clip broke. As I was under warranty took car in complained to the dealership. A tech came out and basically wacked it back in place. So now I notice both left and right sides of bumper are off track. My son is a licensed mechanic. Before I took it back to dealership he had checked and said mom your clip is broke. So he looks back under it again and now BOTH clips are broke. On 9/13/17 go back in. Hyundai notes in my paperwork clips are broke but failed to repair again at a little over 30,000 miles they note it again and failed to repair. This is a safety issue and I feel it should be a recall. The clips are cheap plastic and if it comes off I fear I will be in an accident.I have also been throwing PODS module defect codes and they just keep resetting it.This air light and OCS mat defect has shown up since I first purchased the car. So for 6 years code just keeps getting reset. After calling Hyundai they are FINALLY going to repair it. So my family has been endangered for 6 years. I'm also throwing a catalytic code and that's been going on since a little over 50,000.I called a local Hyundai dealership and was told warrenty only covers a certain part of the converter. I'm at 79,000 and fed mandates say manufacturer must cover it up to 80,000. I don't know what to do and all codes just keep being reset. Car is currently undergoing a fuel consumption test as it's been eating oil like crazy since a little over 50,000.
