2006 Hyundai Accent problems

“GOT THE CAR WHEN MY MOM DIED IN 2015. SHE RECEIVED A RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS BUT WHEN I TOOK IT DOWN TO GET IT FIXED THE GUY TOLD ME AND MY DAUGHTER IN LAW THAT I WAS A WEEK TOO LATE TO GET IT FIXED AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT NOW IF I WANTED IT FIXED. I DON'T HAVE THE CARD THAT WAS MAILED ANYMORE BUT HOW IS THIS SAFE FOR ME, MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS?”

“SUN VISORS BREAK OFF AT THE CONNECTION POINT AND AND THEN FLOP DOWN BLOCKING YOUR VIEW OF THE ROAD. THIS IS FROM JUST NORMAL USE. THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR BROKE LAST YEAR. I HAD IT UNINSTALLED BECAUSE A NEW ONE, ( WITH SAME DEFECTIVE PLASTIC CONNECTION ), COSTS $150.. PLUS INSTALLATION. THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR JUST BROKE OFF THIS MONTH.”

“MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ROTATION SUPPORT SNAPPED UPON ROTATING IT'S CLOSED POSITION TO IT'S FORWARD POSITION TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD. IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN MADE OF PLASTIC. IT NOW HANGS FREELY DOWNWARD BLOCKING MY VIEW COMPLETELY. TURNING IT'S POSITION TO THE LEFT TOWARDS THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW HELPS MY FORWARD VIEW, BUT BLOCKS MY LEFT SIDE VIEW COMPLETELY UNLESS I HUNCH DOWN. THERE IS NO NEUTRAL POSITION TO MOVE THIS VISOR TO UNTIL I CAN GET IT FIXED, WHICH IS CAUSING A SERIOUS DRIVING HAZARD. EVEN A SIMPLE METAL CLIP TO LOCK THE VISOR IN PLACE TEMPORARILY WOULD HAVE BEEN TREMENDOUSLY HELPFUL. *TR”

“THE BRAKE/STOP LAMP SWITCH HAS FAILED AGAIN. THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED IN 2009 UNDER THE FIRST RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. ANOTHER RECALL OCCURRED IN APRIL OF 2013, FOR SELECT 2006 HYUNDAI ACCENTS. MINE WAS NOT COVERED IN THIS SECOND RECALL. THE SWITCH HAS FAILED AGAIN AND I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE SECOND RECALL. *TR”

“SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME. ABOUT 2 YEARS EARLIER THIS HAPPENED FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT A YEAR EARLIER AND HYUNDAI COVERED THAT. CODE B1706 APPEARS WHEN READ FOR $150 AND HYUNDAI WILL NOT FIX IT EVEN UNDER THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY DID NOT WANT TO FIX THE FIRST TWO TIMES EITHER. I DO NOT KNOW IF MY AIRBAGS WORK. HYUNDAI HAS SENSOR PROBLEMS AND KNOWS IT. THIS IS THE DRIVER SEATBELT SENSOR. THEY WANT $702.00 TO FIX THIS DEFECT. I WILL NOT PAY FOR THEIR BAD ENGINEERING. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS A RECALL. THEIR OXYGEN SENSORS ALSO SEEM TO FAIL ON THE ENGINE. THEY WILL NOT COVER THAT EITHER. ALL OF THESE FAILURES ARE FEDERAL MANDATED ITEMS. *JS”

“I HAVE A 2006 HYUNDAI ACCENT. THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH HAS GONE OUT ON MY VEHICLE. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT WENT OUT THE FIRST TIME IN THE 2007 OR 2008 TIME FRAME. I HAD IT REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. ABOUT A WEEK AGO THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WENT OUT AGAIN. WHEN I WENT ONTO PEPBOYS WEBSITE AND PUT MY CAR INFORMATION IN THE ALERT OF A BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH RECALL CAME UP. I CONTACT HYUNDAI TO SEE IF MY CAR WOULD QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL SINCE MY SWITCH HAS FAILED AND IS A 2006 MODEL. THEY CLAIM MY CAR DOES NOT MEET THE RECALL LIST. I TOLD THEM THAT MY SWITCH HAS ALREADY FAIL AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT. I FEEL THAT THEY PUT A BAD SWITCH ON MY CAR AND THAT THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE COVERED MY CAR. I HAVE HAD 2 SWITCH FAIL ON THAT CAR AND THE SECOND WAS PUT IN DURING THE TIME OF THE RECALL COVERED BUT THEY STILL REFUSE TO COVER. MY CAR IS UNSAFE RIGHT NOW UNTIL I HAVE IT FIXED AND HYUNDAI CLAIMS THAT THE PROBLEM PART IS NOT THERE PROBLEM. *TR”
