2010 Hyundai Accent Service and Repair Manual

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20MPH WHEN I HEARD A BREAKING NOISE FROM UNDERNEATH MY 2010 HYUNDAI ACCENT WHEN I LOST STEERING POWER, THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK AND THE ACCELERATOR AS WELL. THIS CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR RESULTING IN ME CRASHING INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. THANK GOD IT WASN'T ON A HWY GOING 65-70 MPH. I SEE THERE AREN'T ANY RECALLS ON ANY OF THE MENTIONED PROBLEMS. ALSO TO NOTE I HAD TO REPLACE A COIL PACK THAT I READ ANOTHER OWNER HAD PROBLEMS AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON A

WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT-END COLLISION ON FEBRUARY 12, 2016, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CAR'S HISTORY INDICATED NO PRIOR ACCIDENTS OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION (55 MPH) AND DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A STATE HIGHWAY. THE OTHER VEHICLE ENTERED AN INTERSECTION WITHOUT LOOKING, AND THE HYUNDAI HIT IT BROADSIDE AT FULL SPEED, AS THERE WAS MINIMAL STOPPING TIME.

I WAS APPROACHING A LINE OF CARS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND IT WAS RAINING. WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES THE REAR WHEELS OF MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED AND THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP. I SLID OUT OF CONTROL INTO THE REAR OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. *TR

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY IN THE RAIN WHEN SOME CARS IN FRONT OF ME STARTED TO STOP. I SLOWED DOWN BUT AS I HIT THE BREAKS THE CAR DIDN'T RESPOND. I PRESSED THE PEDAL MORE AND NOTHING HAPPENED, THEN IT WENT DOWN ALL THE WAY. I MOVED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO PREVENT A CRASH BUT IT STILL HAPPENED. MY CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF EITHER AND I HAD NO BREAK LIGHT INDICATING THAT MY BREAKS WOULD FAIL OR THAT THEY WERE FAULTY.

DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL AND HIT MY HEAD WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON ROAD.. IT WAS HANGING THERE AND I COULDN'T SEE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS UNTIL I HAD TO JUST HOLD IT UP WITH MY HAND UNTIL I GOT HOME AND COULD GET A SCISSORS TO CUT THE CORD THAT KEPT IT HANGING IN MY FACE. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR FELL. DIDN'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS, SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IN 15 MINUTES I ALREADY FOUND 22 OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THIS AND OTHER WEBSITES. CALLED HYUNDAI CUS

The airbags failed to deploy in my 2012 car accident. I suffered facial injuries from hitting my face on the dashboard. I got a broken nose, c2 neck fracture and skull fracture.

AS SOON AS I GOT ON THE FREEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL, BRAKE, AND ACCELERATOR LOCKED UP. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT DOWN THE RAMP TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. I PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BECAUSE, THE CAR KEPT ROLLING. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE CAR OFF BUT, THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE CAR WAS STILL ON. I MANAGED TO GET THE KEY OUT AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN I RESTARTED THE CAR. I DROVE TO THE NEAREST EXIT AND WHEN I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY, IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN THE LEFT TURN LANE SO, I COULD

WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, DRIVING STRAIGHT AFTER 2 RIGHT TURNS, AFTER APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING, A THIN WISP OF SMOKE ROSE UP FROM MY STEERING COLUMN, OR NEAR MY STEERING COLUMN, ON THE LEFT SIDE. FROM MY GENERAL GOOGLE RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. RECALL IS LISTED FOR THIS VEHICLE FROM 2007 - 2009; HOWEVER, HYUNDAI IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE 2010 MODEL. *TR

THE 2010 ACCENT HAS A DEFECT THAT WILL WEAR OUT THE INSIDE OF THE FRONT TIRES IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH BECAME DEFECTIVE INTERMITTENTLY, APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES AGO. IT HAS NOW FAILED COMPLETELY. APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM: HTTP://WWW.AUTOBLOG.COM/2013/04/03/HYUNDAI-KIA-RECALLING-1-6M-MORE-MODELS-FOR-FAULTY-BRAKE-SWITCH/ THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, SO I WANTED YOU TO KNOW. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ALL OUT. ALL 3. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT SOME CARS UP UNTIL 2009 WERE RECALLED FOR A FAULTY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. I AM FEARFUL I COULD PUT MYSELF OR OTHERS IN HARMS WAY. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I AM NOT SURE IF THERE ARE CURRENTLY OTHER REPORTS BUT I AM DOING SO NOW. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ASAP TO HAVE IT EVALUATED. A TECHNICIAN HAS ALREADY TROUBLESHOOTED REPLACING THE BULBS AND STILL NOT WORKING. HE BELIEVES IT IS THE SW

THE IGNITION CABLES AND SPARK PLUGS ARE FAULTY AND HAD TO BE REPLACED JUST AFTER 60,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, MY CAR WAS SHAKING, AND NOT SHIFTING PAST FIRST GEAR. HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC. THEY SAID THE IGNITION CABLES AND SPARK PLUGS WERE FAULTY. THEY HAD SEEN THIS ON HYUNDAI'S BEFORE. *TR

THE VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE BROKE AND JUST HANGS THERE. THE BRAKES NOW ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS HAVE FAILED TO STOP THE CAR AT SLOW SPEEDS. WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED IT FEELS AS THOUGH THEY ARE CRUMBLING. AND THE CAR JERKS AROUND. HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE TO BE TOLD THAT ITS JUST WHAT ANTI LOCK BRAKES DO. I HAVE NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN ON ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED WITH ANTILOCK BRAKES. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER HYUNDAI AGAIN, NOR WILL I EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THAT

MY HYUNDAI ACCENT MODEL YEAR 2010 HAD AN ISSUE WHERE THE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT COMPLETELY. MODEL YEARS 2007-2009 ARE UNDER AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND MY CAR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED HYUNDAI AND THEY ADVISED THE SWITCH IS DIFFERENT BUT THE DATA I CAN FIND SHOWS THE SAME FAULT EXISTS IN THE 2010 AS WELL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE HYUNDAI IS REFUSING TO FIX...THE NHTSA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE AND EXPAND THE RECALL TO OTHER MODEL YEARS. *TR
