1999 Hyundai Accent problems

“MY 1999 HYUNDAI ACCENT VEHICLE GOT HIT ON THE REAR (BUMPER) WHILE I WAS STILL ON A RED LIGHT AND THE IMPACT WAS SO STRONG THAT THE HIT PROPELLED MY VEHICLE TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE (A SUBURBAN TRUCK) CAUSING REAR AND FRONT DAMAGES TO THE HYUNDAI. THE SUBURBAN INCURRED ZERO DAMAGES, WHILE THE LIMOUSINE THAT HIT ME INCURRED VERY LITTLE DAMAGES IF ANY. MY VEHICLE GOT 'SANDWICH' EVEN THOUGH I WAS ABOUT 4 TO 6 FEET BEHIND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY CHILDREN WERE ON THE REAR SEATS AND INCURRED LIMITED INJURIES. I RECEIVED INJURIES AND VEHICLE WAS TOTAL LOST. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ANYTIME. I CONTACTED THE HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND AN INVESTIGATION IS YET TO BE SCHEDULED. I RECEIVED WRITTEN CONFIRMATION THAT MY HYUNDAI VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN THE ONLY ONE WITH AIRBAGS DEPLOYMENT FAILURE. THAT TO ME IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED ACCORDINGLY. *TR”

“WHILE DRIVING IN A RAINSTORM WITH REAR DEFOGGER ON OUR DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT NOTICED A BAD SMELL LIKE BURNING. WHERE I CHECKED THE REARVIEW MIRROR I SAW SMOKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW. I TURNED OFF THE DEFOGGER AND SECONDS LATER THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WITH A BANG LEAVING A HOLE NEAR THE CONNECTOR. BY THE TIME WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION (ABOUT 30 MINUTES) MOST OF THE WINDOW HAD FALLEN IN. DEALER INITIALLY SAID THERE WAS NO POWER TO REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER. ON FURTHER INSPECTION THEY SAID THE SWITCH WAS STUCK BUT THERE WAS NO REASON TO THINK THAT CAUSED THE FAILURE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF INCREASED POWER THAT WOULD CAUSE THE GLASS TO OVERHEAT. WE ARE STILL ATTEMPTING TO GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WE PURCHASED TO COVER THE REPAIR. *JB”

“FUEL LINE AND POWER STEERING LINE RUBBED WHERE THEY WERE CLOSE TOGETHER IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUSING A HOLE IN THE FUEL LINE WHICH WAS SPRAYING A STEADY STREM OF GASLOLINE RIGHT INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ALL OVER THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FANS. I FEEL THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND THAT THOSE LINES NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLACED THAT CLOSE TOGETHER THIS IS NOT A LAUGHING MATTER HOWEVER HYUNDAI MOTORS OF AMERICA TOL ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY.I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN EXPLOSION AND OR FIRE. *NM”
