This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Bad engine crankshaft, engine is still under 150k miles. Experiencing same issues as other models with this engine have. Other vehicles have received a recall for engine and extended warranty protection but not this model Pressing on gas throttle but low acceleration or none in some instances
I have already submitted a report here and never had any follow up and I don't see it in the reported complaints section of this website with newer incidents already showing so I know it isn't that there is a back log. my car caught on fire while I was in the car, asleep. I have reports from the fire department, I have struggled with Hyundai for months and ultimately was denied any assistance due to I was missing one of two service records. the fire report clearly stated that fire started in the cabin of the car not the engine so a lack of an oil change shouldn't have been the reason this happened. this event has traumatized me and continues to be an enormous burden on me and my family and their lack of caring is beyond disheartening. I easily could have died that day, by all accounts I should have. I would greatly appreciate some sort of follow-up as I feel like I'm just being completely ignored and discredited. I would gladly provide more information as to the actual incident if needed but like I said I have already done so in another report and don't want to do it again if it's just going to be ignored a second time.
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Accent. The contact stated that the brake pedal would intermittently depress the floorboard without warning. The contact had initially taken the vehicle to the dealer where she purchased the vehicle; Future Ford Lincoln of Roseville (650 Automall Dr, Roseville, CA 95661) and was referred to an authorized Hyundai dealer for assistance. The contact then took the vehicle to the dealer where they informed her that the rotors needed to be resurfaced. The contact had the repair performed; however, the failure persisted. The contact then took the vehicle back to the Ford dealer where she was informed that the extended warranty would not cover the brake failure. Over time, the contact also experienced electrical system failures and was also informed that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 81,000.
The vehicle made a large -??pop-?? sound, lost power and a fire started at the engine. After the -??pop-?? was heard, the check engine flashed on, then the car died. Noticed a smoke smell, jumped out of car and saw flames. Entire car was engulfed in minutes. No issues to the car prior to incident.

Not exactly sure when but my 'passenger airbag off' light started to randomly appear and never turns off despite there being a passenger. Also my back seats would not latch closed, creating an unsafe riding time for a child in a booster seat. Which is a huge concern because I frequently provide rides for two young children my air conditioning unit becomes so hot that my feet are literally burning me. I end up taking my socks and shoes off due to how hot it gets. The motor for the engine is incredibly loud despite the small amount of miles. I have issues with accelerating from stop
Occasionally when you accelerate it hesitates and does not respond. It has been taken to a mechanic and a dealer and they cannot find the problem but it does happen. It is dangerous especially when pulling out onto a very busy road where I live this is a side street entering a very busy highway or most anytime. It is random it happens ever since car was purchased can't give exact date

The dash lights; brake, ABS, and traction control lights come on. The speedometer also does not work while driving. The gas gauge is going up and down and not showing the correct gas. The electrical appears to be malfunctioning, but the dealer has yet to recreate the issue. This has happened twice in a span of a week. Videos were taken both times it occurred on 5/14/19 and 5/20/19, but are too large to upload.
The under carriage is not stable. The undercarriage cover falls off whenever something scrapes the bottom of car...on the passenger aide only. The screws and bolts vecome bent and the nuts fall off, forcing under carriage cover to fall and scrape on ground. The car was in motion about 1 block from my house when this happened.
