Hyundai Accent fuel gauge problems

Filed Mar 28, 2024 · Brakes, Electrical · MO

Recall 23V651000 has been in place for over six months and a remedy is still not available. I have suffered hundreds of dollars in damages due to having to continue to park my vehicle outside, including having to replace the fuel sending unit after a failed siphoning attempt as well as exterior body and paint damages due to weather conditions. Please press Hyundai to release a remedy as soon as possible!

During hot/warm weather, typically 65 degrees or hotter, as soon as I turn on my car, the traction control light, the ABS light, and emergency brake light comes on. When this happens, the speedometer does not work. The gas level on the screen will also fluctuate, as well as the odometer stops counting miles. The car will still drive normal with all these specific lights, but is obviously extremely dangerous as the speedometer does not work. Sometimes when this issue is happening, if I drive around for 10 minutes, the speedometer will start working again and all the lights go out besides the traction control light. If I then find a spot to turn off my car and on again, it goes back to normal with no lights illuminated on the dashboard, the speedometer works, and the gas gauge goes back to what it is supposed to be at. However, at the same time, the issue might seemed to have fixed itself, but then will start happening again when I’m in the middle of driving. I tried taking it to Hyundai, as at the time this first began happening my car was under warranty still, and they told me my ABS connection was corroded, so they put in a new one. This did not fix the issue at all and the issue started back up again not even 30 minutes after leaving Hyundai. I had to leave town and couldn’t get the issue checked out again right after. This all started happening when my car was around 57,000 miles. I now have almost 75,000 miles and the problem still occurs. I have noticed that this only occurs when it is hot/warm outside and the car sits for a little, as stated above. I live in NY, so during the colder winter months, this issue never happens. This all is very worrisome when your speedometer stops working out of no where, or having the thought that it’ll get worse somehow when I’m driving at higher speeds, then all of this will put myself and others in danger on the road.

Randomly the instrument panel will malfunction. The ABS, airbag, and check engine lights illuminate, the speedometer with drop to zero, and the fuel gauge indicator fluctuates wildly. This can occur while parked or while driving. It has been happening randomly for over a year. Due to the unpredictability it has been difficult in having this occur in the presence of a mechanic. I have found many posts online of other people having the same issue over the past few years yet a recall has never been issued. A malfunctioning instrument panel seems like a pretty significant safety risk. I submitted a complaint a year ago but nothing ever came of it.

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.

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.

Whenever the vehicle sits in tempatures below 51 degrees for more then a few hours when it is started the stability management light the and light and the break light are all on plus the and and stability management don't work. The speedometer the fuel gauge and the odometer don't track properly if at all I'm very concerned about it since I had it into both ron thinking hyundai in gresham and gladstone several times last winter with no result they just keep saying they either can't duplicate the issue or they don't have the information to fix the vehicle cause no-one knows what's causing the problem the keep seeking help from the tech hotline and getting no result from the suggestions this is a major safety hazard seeing as the problem persists for random periods of time while being driven between 30 minutes to 4 hours

I have had issues with shifting into gear. I have taken it to several different mechanics and they have not been able to find any issues at all. I also just found out that my fuel level sensor is not working either. I have not been able to find any recalls on either. It's upsetting to see that others are having the same issue with the shifting problem and it doesn't seem that anyone within hyundai has bothered to see if this problem exists with other 5 speed accents.

Temperature light, check engine light, speedometer, RPM gauge, gas gauge, and odometer all stopped working at the same time. I was told it was a short in the computer ($1100 to fix). The car is 6 years old, I don't think this should have happened; it seems like there is faulty wiring/parts.
