The car loses power randomly. It typically happens at a stop light or a stop sign, usually within the first 10-15 mins of starting the car. It hasn-??t happened after or while the car is driven for a long period of time. However, it has happened while getting on to the highway and while making turns into intersections. When the car loses power, there is no warning. Sometimes, it is hard to put the car into park and restart the car when it loses power. Oddly, however, when it loses power/ stalls/ shuts off, if the radio or other devices are on, they stay on. Symbols that appear on the dash when the car shuts down include the engine, oil, and battery lights. These lights also come on when you first cycle to start the car. We-??ve taken the car to a Hyundai dealership and they said that they can-??t find any codes, when they connect the car to a code reader.

The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Accent. While driving at any speed, the contact felt dizzy, nauseous, and tired without warning. The contact stated that these feelings were only experienced when the vehicle was in motion. Medical attention was not received. The contact stated that there was a powder residue on the rim of the spare tire. When the trunk was opened, the rubber seal around the trunk seemed to be breaking down. The vehicle was taken to central valley Volkswagen Hyundai (209-323-2700) located at 4620 mchenry ave, modesto, ca 95356) where a diagnostic test was performed on the exhaust system, but no failure was found. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the compressor and the valve stem to avoid a leak. The mechanic also topped off the oil and freon, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the general manager of the same dealer at a different location. The manager gave the contact the option to either receive a refund from the diagnostic test or to diagnose the vehicle again. The contact chose to get a refund. The failure was not resolved. The failure mileage was approximately 4,240.

I purchase a 2007 Accent Hyundai and while driving it stalls very dangerous. I purchased this car for my son as his first car. While the car is in motion it just stops running while the car is in motion. Wont start up for 20 min or an hour just to do it again. You can be on the highway or just up the road very dangerous. Car just stops for no reason why wasn't this car recalled.

Accent 4-cyl

  • 72,000 miles
Hyundai commerce sold me vehicle that has not passed smog yet and or the 90-day extension has expired. They never bother to mention that at the time of purchase. They put brand new tires onmy car 2 week after I purchased it. I blew a tire on the freeway on November 5 2014. The tire shoul D be less than 3 months old. My side mirrors do not work they do not rotate correctly. Therefore making it difficult to see out of at times. They said they replaced the motor but they are still not working. They said they fixed the alignment howver the car is still sliding to the right. They have not helped to correct their error and are pushing the car onto me and making it my problem. As a first time car buyer they used aggressive and intimatiion tactics to try and scare me. Please help.
