I was driving up a hill on interstate 8 in California and all of a sudden i heard a bang under the hood and see sparks and flames and my hyundai was on fire right there on the freeway. No clue why.
The car caught on fire while driving on the freeway for no reason, an explosion occurred.
The report does not specify the exact component that failed, but the fire originated under the hood of the 2016 Hyundai Accent. The vehicle and related documentation, including the fire department report, insurance claim, and incident photos, are available for review. The fire under the hood posed a serious safety risk as it occurred while the vehicle was in motion on a busy highway. Fortunately, the driver evacuated safely, but the incident could have resulted in injury or more severe consequ
Third brake light was smoking inside car. Pulled over and opened trunk to discover a melted bulb, socket and housing to the whole assembly. Contacted Hyundai USA and have not received a reply. Could have become a dangerous situation.
My car stopped accelerating while I was on the expressway. The report shows that my car was in good condition. They later told me that my engine gave out. They told me that several 2016 Hyundai Accents have been having this issue. This needs to be recalled.
During hot/warm weather, typically 65 degrees or hotter, as soon as I turn on my car, the traction control light, the ABS light, and emergency brake light comes on. When this happens, the speedometer does not work. The gas level on the screen will also fluctuate, as well as the odometer stops counting miles. The car will still drive normal with all these specific lights, but is obviously extremely dangerous as the speedometer does not work. Sometimes when this issue is happening, if I drive arou
THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON, DECEMBER 13, 2017 AS I WAS DRIVING.
WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY SPEEDOMETER KICKED OFF. I WAS IN MOTION AND THEN THE ABS, BREAK AND TRACTION LIGHTS POPPED UP AND MY SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 EVEN THOUGH I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 70MPH. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND POSES A REAL THREAT TO SAFETY. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES.
