The brake line erupted on the passenger's side while driving. The dealer was notified. The dealer replaced both front rotors and the brake pads within the first 14K miles and refused to check and lubricate both front caliper slides which caused the passenger side brake pad to completely wear down the metal. The passenger side caliper bracket rusted. There was also an engine noise.
Engine lifters tap loudly for anywhere for 2 mins or 20 miles depending on how long the car set. The lifters had been replaced once. Taken to dealer to have it checked out they says its fine but a friend of mine that also works there says they are boarder line and will need to be taken care of soon. Dealer will not replace.
About: 2002 Hyundai Accent problem happens short time after filling the gas tank. Check engine light comes on and car has a sudden large loss of power, overdrive cuts out. Problem may persist for a day or two then go away and come back several times before going away. Situation: My wife was crossing a street and could not get out of the way of oncoming traffic. She just barley escaped. This has happened a total of 5 times in 14,000 miles of driving. It now happens every time the gas tank is filled. Dealer indicates that this is on purpose when the gas cap is not secured properly. Hyundai puts driver's lives at stake on purpose!
The vehicle was involved in a frontal collision and caught fire. The fire trapped the driver inside, burning him to death. Please provide any additional information.
When first starting the vehicle in the morning it vehicle idles high a couple of times and shakes, then the vehicle is fine. Dealer cannot determine the cause of the problem.
