2013 HYUNDAI ACCENT Suspension Problems

Tech foud rust all over the undecarriage and to fix the issue with the torsion axle assembly, it was decide to replace all the torsion axle assembly and other items. The Campaign 992 recall was initiated because Hyundai acknowledged that the underbody corrosion protection applied to certain vehicles was insufficient. The torsion axle assembly was before the Campaign 992 recall. A rembusment for that was submitted and approved by Hyundai but suddley they reject it.

After driving over a train track at low speed the front passenger coil spring snapped and it ripped up the tire. The car is not drivable. It seems that this has happened to other models around the same year and it shouldn’t have failed at only 110K miles.

THE CAR IS HAS A VERY LOW BODY. AS SUCH, IT GETS DAMAGED EVERY TIME THE CAR GOES OVER A BUMP. THE CAR HAS NOT YET HIT 100,000 MILES AND IT IS ALREADY FALLING APART. I REACHED OUT TO HYUNDAI AND ASKED THEM TO TAKE A LOOK BUT THEY DECLINED. *TR

(MY CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN MODESTLY SINCE PURCHASE ON 1/15/16) THERE ARE ROUGHLY 40,760 MILES ON MY CAR.1/31/16 I TURNED OUT OF MY WORK PARKING LOT, MADE A LEFT.MY STEERING BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE AT LESS THAN 15MPH.I HAVE A STEADY HAND.I REMAINED CALM.BUT WHEN I TRIED TO BREAK TO PREVENT A POSSIBLE COLLISION INTO ANYTHING AFTER THE STEERING SEEMED TO HAVE GONE OUT, I BRAKED HARDER THAN NORMAL, BUT NOT SLAMMED. THE CAR JERKED UNCONTROLLABLY AS I PRESSED ON THE BREAK, IT FELT LIKE THE BREAKS WERE JUMPING/HITTING THE GROUND.ON THE SAME3-5MILE DRIVE HOME THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES,DROVE HALF THE SPEED LIMIT AND STILL PERSISTED. THIS IS CAUSE FOR ANXIETY FOR ANY FUTURE DRIVING. IF PANIC HAD OF TAKEN OVER BECAUSE SUCH ISSUES THAT ALONE COULD HAVE BEEN MY LIFE. I HAD QUICK THINKING WHEN THIS HAPPENED, NOT EVERYONE DOES. MY CAR IS DEFINITELY NOT OKAY AND I HAD SEVERAL...

DRIVING, ALL ROAD CONDITIONS THE CAR DRIFTS LEFT OR RIGHT AND THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT HITS A STOP POINT AND CORRECTION HAS TO BE MADE CONSTANTLY. DEALER GAVE ME ANOTHER 2013 ELANTRA TO TEST DRIVE AND IT DROVE WELL WITHOUT THE PROBLEMS OF MY CAR. AND IT HAD MORE MILAGE THAN MINE.

CAR OWNERS WILL HAVE TO TAKE MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS. AFTER 3 DEALERS, CONTACTS WITH HYUNDAI MOTORS AMERICA CORPORATE, AND AT LEAST TWO CONTACTS WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS AUTO LINE, OTHERS AND THIS MANUFACTURER COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THEIR CARS AND EVEN LESS ABOUT THE CAR OWNERS. I THINK THE FTC AND NHTSA ARE BULL. NOVEMBER 19 INGLEWOOD CALIFORNIA SMALL CLAIMS COURT CASE [XXX] JUDGE RULED MARINA AUTOMOTIVE LLC DBA LA HYUNDAI AT LAX ENGAGED IN "CONCERTED FAILURE TO PROVIDE WARRANTY SERVICE AND CONSTITUTIONAL PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION" DID NOT HAVE AN "ANTI-DISCRIMINATION POLICY" AND "DID NOT HONOR RIGHTS" OF A CAR OWNER. JUDGE FOUND HYUNDAI DEALER LIABLE FOR $609 REPAIR COSTS PLUS $115 COURT COSTS AFTER OWNER OF A 2010 HAD TO GO ELSEWHERE FOR INSPECTION AFTER NO INSPECTION BY THE DEALER. AND A BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU COMPLAINT IS PENDING AGAINST HYUNDAI AND ITS DEALER ASKING FOR THE LICENSE REVOCATION...

AUGUST 2011 PURCHASED 2010 HYUNDAI ACCENT AUTO. 4 DOOR SEDAN. VIN [XXX]. AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED TO THE NHTSA, IN MARCH 2012 A BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU ARBITRATOR RULED THAT THE CAR HAD SUFFERED MANUFACTURER DEFECT TRANSMISSION MOUNTS. THE DEALER DID REPLACE THE TWO MOUNTS WHICH SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED A FRONT END AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT VIBRATION AND SHAKING. SOME VIBRATION REMAINED; I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER. AT TWO DEALERS I WAS TOLD BY ABOUT SIX HYUNDAI EMPLOYEES THAT THE REMAINING VIBRATION WAS "NORMAL". BUT I WENT FOR ANOTHER INSPECTION, THE MECHANIC NOTED THE VIBRATION AND SAID IT WAS NORMAL. BUT THIRTY MINUTES LATER, THE SERVICE DEALER WROTE VIBRATION "CANNOT BE DUPLICATED". SO THE ARBITRATOR AND HYUNDAI CORPORATE CONSULTANT [XXX] IN WRITING WITNESSED THE CONSTANT VIBRATION AND MADE SUCH RULING AFTER HYUNDAI DEALER SAID "COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED." OCTOBER 2012 HYUNDAI'S [XXX] SAID VIBRATION HAD BEEN FIXED; THIS WAS NOT TRUE....

AUG 2011 BOUGHT 2010 ACCENT AUTOMATIC WITH 38,000 MILES . AFTER I COMPLAINED OF VEHICLE VIBRATION [A KNOWN PROBLEM TO HYUNDAI] DEALER AND MANUFACTURER REPLACED TWO TRANSMISSION MOUNTS AS DEFECTIVE BUT REFUSED TO FIX ERRATIC IDLE AND PASSENGER AREA VIBRATION AT IDLE. NON-HYUNDAI MECHANICS SAID VIBRATION CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE UPPER ENGINE MOUNT. THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND HYUNDAI CONSULTANT VERIFIED THE VIBRATION WAS STILL THERE BUT HYUNDAI REFUSED TO FIX IT. I READ NEWSPAPER ARTICLE THAT SAID HYUNDAI ENGINEERS WORKED HARD ON MODELS TO FIX THE VIBRATION AND OTHER SUSPENSION PROBLEMS SO I TRADED THE 2010 DOG IN AUGUST 2012 FOR 2013 ACCENT SE 5-DOOR AUTOMATIC, THINKING LIGHTNING CANNOT STRIKE TWICE IN THE SAME SPOT. NOW ABOUT 1000 MILES AND 2 MONTHS AND THERE IS PLAY IN MOTOR MOUNTS, VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL WITH COMPRESSOR ON, ERRATIC IDLE, ROUGH RIDE AND BOUNCY FLOATING SUSPENSION, AND OTHER SMALL ITEMS, BUT VIBRATION...
