NHTSA Complaint #11377522 — 2015 HYUNDAI ACCENT

1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASING CAR, I HAD A CHECK ENGINE SENSOR SHOW UP. I TOOK IT IN AND A DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWED AN O2 SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I REPLACED IT AND THE PART WAS DEFECTIVE, SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED IT AGAIN, AFTER WHICH IT APPEARED TO BE FINE. THEN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS LATER, IT BEGAN TO RUN POORLY AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND SEEMED TO NOT BE GETTING FUEL OR OXYGEN OR SOMETHING. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND ENDED UP HAVING A CATALYTIC CONVERTER PUT IT FOR OVER $500. IT RAN FINE FOR MAYBE A MONTH AFTER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN, IT WAS RUNNING POORLY AGAIN, LOSING POWER ALMOST STALLING OUT WHEN PUSHING ACCELERATOR, IT SMELLED LIKE BURNT OIL. I HAD OIL CHECKED AND CHANGED 3 TIMES DURING THE TIME THIS ALL WAS HAPPENING TOO BECAUSE OF THE SMELL OF BURNING OIL. EACH TIME THE OIL CHANGE WAS DONE THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID IT APPEARED NOT O HAVE BEEN CHANGED BECAUSE IT WAS BLACK AND BURNT AND LOW, WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE, DUE TO HOW FREQUENTLY I WAS HAVING IT CHECKED AND CHANGED NOT KNOWING WHAT ELSE TO DO!!! ULTIMATELY, ON MY WAY TO MY PARENTS HOUSE THE ENGINE BLEW AND SMOKE POURED OUT FROM UNDER IT AND IT WOULD NOT RUN AGAIN AND IT APPEARED TO BE BURNING. UPON INSPECTION THERE WAS A HOLE MELTED INTO THE ENGINE BLOCK!!!! I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLES PERFORMANCE. I HAD THE VEHICLE FROM 2017 TO MARCH OF 2020, STILL OWE MONEY ON IT AND CANNOT DRIVE IT OR AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED. THIS ENGINE FAILURE WAS NOT MY FAULT OR DUE TO MY FAILURE TO PROPERLY CAR FOR THE CAR. THIS IS A HYUNDAI ISSUE AND IT IS TIME SOMEONE BE MADE AWARE THAT THIS HAPPENED TO WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE LONG CONSUMER, BUT NEVER AGAIN!!!!
