2014 Hyundai Accent engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
After 86,000 miles, the oil consumption per week are 1 quart of gallon. And smell weird
The engine started burning oil at about 105,000 miles, despite it never missing an oil change and never abused. Apparently other Hyundais and Kia’s have also experienced early engine failure due to the manufactures poor quality control. It’ll burn about a quart of oil about every 1,500 miles. The engine has about 127,000 miles on the odometer.
The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Accent. The contact stated that while driving at highway speeds and when sitting idle the air conditioning warning light would flicker the rpm would drop down or go straight to zero, the speedometer would drop down zero and the vehicle began to have hesitation as if it intends to stall. The contact stated that when the issues occurs on the highway they would pull over to the side of the road where the vehicle would then stall once they were idle. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer who was not able to find the cause of the failure. The dealer performed an induction service. The failure reoccurred immediately after. The contact stated that they then took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who confirmed the dealer's information. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000.
Always needed oil
While driving to work one day i noticed my oil light flashing. So after work i took my car to Pep Boys to see what was going on with it and why my oil light was flashing. Mechanic asked me to bring it back on Saturday when he can take a better look at why it was flashing. After he did a diagnostics on my vehicle he said he couldnt find anything besides that the engine is burning oil and they couldnt figure out why or where it was that was causing this problem. Told me that i should check my oil everyday to see if its low and fill it if it does get low. My vehicle has 140,000 miles on it and this is the first time any of the flashing lights on the dashboard have come on.
My vehicle is making ticking sounds in the engine
The engine 1st stopped 2 weeks ago at a red light. I say "stopped" because that is exactly what it did "stop," no warning light or signal. It simply stopped. Had to get pushed off the road. Started after 15-20 min. Took it to mechanic, found nothing wrong. Sensors, gas, electric. "I cant do nothing, no symptoms." 2nd time it stopped while driving. Still rolling, I guided the vehicle of the road. Started after 10-15min. 3rd time at a convenience store called the first mechanic he said to call him when it stopped again. He could use a portable gage while it was in the "stopped" state. But it started again before the mechanic got there so he couldn't use the gage. I called to the company where I bought the car. He sent me to their local mechanic who did the same check as the first; saw no problem. Lastly, it stopped multi pal times in 1 day. Even while turning onto a two- lane side- street, in high traffic! Other cars had to stop right behind me in a turning position and go around. Again had to get pushed out of the road. I don't feel safe driving this vehicle. The company.. I bought it went beyond their policy and had their mechanics to check it, still nothing. This is the 3rd week. I don't trust this vehicle to drive it so, the company is sending it to a hyundai dealership today. I don't know what to do or expect from this whole issue. I am not safe in this vehicle and to pay anything out of pocket is unthinkable. As it is only 4 yrs old. I got it when it was 2 yrs old. The way the vehicle stops is unusual. I don't know cars well but I have not heard of one to "stop" without, "warning before hand". It stops at inopportune times. There is no way of telling when or where it will stop. It stops whenever and wherever without warning. City streets, highways. Not sure freeways; but im not taking any chances.please investigate! This is my first time buying a car. Yuck!
