I Dont no why but my Engine will randomly stall out even in the middle of making a.left or a right-hand turn and it's scary when I a.m. at an intersection intersection and I doll out then I have to shut my car off completely turn it back on and pump the gas. Till it starts. few days later my warning lights came on the meters and lights shot up quick and. Then the car shut down I was so freaked out my husband took it to the dealer ship they stated it was. A tire valve sensor they claimed to have checked all the fluids which i no was not the oil was burnt when i got out and checked old oil they want me to pay before they can repair but tire valve is not the #1 because i had another shop change. Out the stem these random occurrences happen today and warning lights still on. I read these sensor àre covered upto 100,000 miles.

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.

I've been to 2 Hyundai dealerships, ...they both told me they can find anything they cant duplicate the problem. It makes me mad because I take off work to go get my car taken care of, but to them nothing is wrong. My car lags at times. When I stop at a light or stop sign, its hard to go, ..it stalls I have to floor it at times to even get it to 25 0R 30. I know my car doesn't have much horsepower but shouldn't have to floor it to even get it to 25. This is a accident waiting to happen. Its like Hyundai wants you on the side of the road or an accident before they believe you. I've see other complaints about the same thing on car compliant. I guess me and those other people are crazy. I'm thinking about getting a lawyer if this isn't taken care if soon.

I've had my 2016 Hyundai Accent 5-door since February 2016. On several occasions, I have noticed two issues. The first is that coming to a complete stop, when pressing on the brake pedal it feels like something is hitting the ground beneath my foot on the underside. Dealership found nothing because they couldn't duplicate it. The second is when at a stop sign, etc., and you start trying to increase the speed, the engine has a hard time gaining speed as quickly as it should. I have to press the acelerator to the floor board to get moving. I know that my vehicle isn't one with a huge engine but still it shouldn't struggle to gain speed every single time! I'm not very happy about this and will be taking it back to check both the brakes and engine.
