2016 HYUNDAI ACCENT Unknown Or Other Problems

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 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 consequences​ of both driver and other drivers traveling. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. Due to the extent of the damage caused by the fire, it is unlikely that the issue can be reproduced or thoroughly examined. The vehicle has not been inspected by a mechanic since the incident. The incident was inspected by Chesterfield Fire & EMS (Report No. [XXX]),...

The car caught on fire while driving on the freeway for no reason, an explosion occurred.

The air bag warning light comes on frequently while I am driving and the passenger side air bag does not always turn off when there is not a passenger sitting in the passenger seat like it should. It is to the point where I am afraid to drive my car after spending a ridiculous amount of money on our family car. Please help us. Thank you in advance.

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.

Electrical issues horn doesnt work nor does the speedometer ..

When driving the car, the ABS light, emergency brake light, and traction control light will come on. When these come on the speedometer ALWAYS quits working. Sometimes turning off the car will solve the problem but other times it won't do anything. Dealership has not been able to fix it. Other people have had the same problem with the Hyundai Accent. There are forums about it if you just look them up. Definitely a problem that needs to get fixed that seems to not be able to get fixed.

MOST DAYS OF THE WEEK, UPON START UP, I GET 3 LIGHTS THAT COME ON AND MOST OF THE TIME DO NOT GO OFF, THE 3 LIGHTS ARE: BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND TRACTION CONTROL. WHEN THEN CAR IS IN MOTION, THE SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T MOVE AND MY GAS GAUGE WILL CHANGE NUMBERS WHILE IN MOTION. IN MOTION, I FEEL LIKE THE BRAKES ARE TOUCHY BUT I DON'T FEEL THE BRAKES GRIPPING LIKE THE LIGHTS SHOWN AND DON'T FEEL ANY DIFFERENCE IN SPEED OR GEAR SWITCHING.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND PASSENGER CAN GET IN AND NOT BUCKLE AND LIGHT AND SOUND NEVER APPEAR WHEN CAR IS PARKED OR IN MOTION (ON HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS), AND NOW THE DOORS WON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH THE KEY FOB OR MANUALLY.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY 11 YEAR OLD SON. A WOMAN RAN A RED LIGHT AND WE HIT THE CAR IN THE SIDE COMPLETELY MASHING OUR FRONT END. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AT ALL NONE OF THEM.WE WERE CROSSING THE INTERSECTION ON A GREEN LIGHT!!

AIR BAG - PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND WHILE DRIVING. ( ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS AND DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE FOR DIAGNOSTIC- CAR IS 2YEARS OLD!). ELECTRICAL- WARNING LIGHTS AND RADIO TURN ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING) OTHER- OFTEN THE CAR WON'T START (2-3 TIMES/WEEK) AND HAVE TO GET A JUMP. BATTERY IS NEW, STARTER IS GOOD. POSSIBLY ISSUE WITH AMPS? (AUTO ZONE DIAGNOSTIC DID NOT SHOW ISSUE OR CODES). THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS YEAR ,MAKE AND MODEL (2016 HYUNDAI ACCENT). THERE HAS BEEN ISSUES AND RECALL WITH THE 2015 MAKE AND MODEL OF THE SAME WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON AND STAYING ON. BELIEVE IT WAS THOUGHT TO BE DUE TO COMPUTER ISSUE THAT AFFECTED KIA AS WELL. ( THIS MUST BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF...

CAR WILL RANDOMLY DISPLAY ABS & BRAKE & TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING, ALSO UPON INITIAL START UP AND WILL NOT GO AWAY.

WHEN OFF AND STATIONARY PRESSING/RELEASING THE BRAKE NUMEROUS TIMES, CABLE SOUND IS HEARD UNDER CENTER CONSOLE GEAR SELECTOR & BEHIND UNDERNEATH A/C CONSOLE/STORAGE, NOT HEARD WHEN AUTO WAS NEW.

FILING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE I RECENTLY HAD A BLOWOUT AND ITS PRETTY MESSED UP AND DANGEROUS THAT THERE ISN'T A SPARE TIRE (DONUT) OR ANY TYPE OF TIRE CHANGING TOOLS SUPPLIED IN THE CAR OTHER THEN A BAG OF FIRST AID SUPPLIES AND STUFF FOR A FLAT. NEXT ISSUE IS WHAT GOOD DOES THE STUFF DO FOR THE FLAT OF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TRAINED ON HOW TO USE IT? AS MUCH AS WE CUSTOMERS ARE PAYING FOR THESE CARS I'D THINK AND EXPECT SOME TYPE OF SPARE TIRE AND CHANGING TIRE TOOLS LIKE OTHER CAR SUPPLIERS. IF I CAN'T GET THAT WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY EXTRA I MAY AS WELL CANCEL MY CONTRACT. NEXT I CALLED ROADSIDE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY CAN'T EVEN ASSIST ME UNLESS I HAD A FLAT TIRE BUT NOT WITH NEEDING A TIRE. I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR UNATTENDED, IN A DARK AREA,...
