Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
This car overconsumes oil rapidly. I have always taken it for oil changes when due. I put hardly any miles on my car (10k or less annually) and every time I take it for an oil change they say it is extremely low. The oil light never comes on to alert me that it is low. About a week or two ago it started making a clicking noise and it was due for an oil change so I took it for one and the technician said that this is a common issue with Hyundai cars and that there is permanent engine damage due to the overconsumption of oil. I am only halfway through paying this car off and it will cost as much as it is worth to repair it.

Potential Consequences:
I am writing to you as the owner of a 2019 Hyundai Accent, which has recently experienced severe engine issues including low compression in three cylinders, sludge build-up, and eventual engine failure. It has come to my attention that these issues are not isolated incidents but are rather indicative of a systemic problem with Hyundai Accent models of this year. As you are undoubtedly aware, numerous reports and complaints have surfaced regarding similar engine failures and defects in the 2019 Hyundai Accent. These issues have not only caused significant inconvenience and financial burden to individual owners like myself, but they also pose serious safety concerns. Given the widespread nature of these problems, it is evident that they are not mere anomalies but rather result from inherent flaws in the design or manufacturing process of the vehicles. As such, I am firmly of the belief that these issues should be addressed as part of a Hyundai class action lawsuit.

Potential Consequences:
I am writing to bring to your attention a critical safety concern regarding the 2019 Hyundai Accent, specifically regarding the persistent issue of oil burning in the engine. This problem has affected my vehicle, as well as numerous other owners of the same model year. Despite being well within the warranty period, when I brought my 2019 Hyundai Accent with approximately 50,000 miles to the dealership for repairs due to excessive oil consumption, I was met with refusal to address the issue under warranty. Upon further inquiry, it has come to my attention that this problem is widespread among Hyundai engines, with many owners experiencing similar issues. The consequences of this oil burning problem are not only financially burdensome for owners who are forced to continuously add oil between changes, but also pose a significant safety risk. Engine failure due to oil deprivation can result in sudden loss of power, leading to potentially hazardous situations, including accidents and injury. Despite numerous complaints and reports from Hyundai Accent owners, it appears that Hyundai has failed to take appropriate action to rectify this issue and ensure the safety and reliability of their vehicles. Therefore, I urge NHTSA to investigate this matter thoroughly and take necessary actions to hold Hyundai accountable for their failure to address this widespread and potentially dangerous defect in their vehicles. Owners like myself deserve a prompt and effective resolution to this issue to ensure the safety and integrity of our vehicles. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

was driving on the highway to a friends house, while i was driving a another vehicle was telling me to pull over and that there was smoke and fire underneath the car, i pulled over and crossed the bridge where there was light, once i got across i got out of the car and saw fire coming from the hood, i tried to put it out and that didn't work, so the good Samaritan who told me to pull over told me to get my son and get in her car because there was no way to save the car. As soon as we drove away the car exploded not even two mins later. insurance has inspected and claimed it a total loss, they didn't state how the fire started besides it is a total loss, now the car is totaled, insurance is paying part of it and i am working on the gap coverage to get them all the information we need and since the loan is more than what the care is worth i have no money to finance another vehicle or able to get financing especially since interest rates are so high. I have attached some pictures, it started in the engine is what it seems, once got out of the car, looked underneath and there was something leaking underneath, lost baby stuff, carseat base, stroller, formula just got earlier in the day, diapers damaged. alot was smoke damaged that was in the trunk.
