| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2005 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HYUNDAI ACCENT. THE CONTACT PLACED AN ITEM UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT AND UNINTENTIONALLY DISCONNECTED THE AIR BAG WIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER RECONNECTED THE AIR BAG WIRES. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT SHE SHOULD NOT PLACE ANY ITEMS UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT AND WOULD NOT REIMBURSE HER FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,708. |
| 2005 | SERVICE BRAKES | MY BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THEM TO STAY DEPRESSED AND LIT UP UNTIL I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. NOW THEY WON'T EVEN COME BACK ON. I WAS ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE SHIFTER AND IT WAS STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION. I FOUND OUT THROUGH NHTSA THAT HYUNDAI RECALLED THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES FOR THESE SAME PROBLEMS BACK IN 2009. THEY SAID ANY OF THESE MALFUNCTIONS COULD LEAD TO A CRASH. I HAD ONE REPRESENTATIVE FROM HYUNDAI TELL ME THAT THEY DON'T HONOR NHTSA RECALLS. THE DEALERS REFUSE TO REPLACE THE STOP LAMP SWITCH ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY WON'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECALL. THE RECALL THAT BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2009, CAMPAIGN 092, THE ARTICLE CITED TO CONTACT THIS PUERTO RICAN PHONE NUMBER 1-787-999-4310 BUT I CAN'T GET THROUGH. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT VERY HELPFUL AT THIS POINT AND IN FACT THE SERVICE MANAGER AT ONE DEALERSHIP WAS EXTREMELY RUDE AND STATED THAT HE WOULD NOT WORK WITH CORPORATE WHEN CORPORATE DECIDED TO BACK ME WITH THE RECALL. HE TOLD ME THAT SINCE MY CAR WAS HAVING THOSE ISSUES THAT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT HIS RECOMMENDATION WAS THAT THE DEALERSHIP HONOR THAT AND FIX MY VEHICLE, BUT THEY REFUSE. I HAVE NO WORKING BRAKE LIGHTS AND I NEED HELP IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER. THANK YOU. *TR |
