2001 Hyundai Accent Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HYUNDAI ACCENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS ENGAGED AND WHEN HE SHUT OFF THE DEFROSTER, THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION SOUND. THE CONTACT THEN NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A LARGE HOLE IN THE REAR WINDOW WITH SMALL WEB0LIKE FRACTURES SURROUNDING THE HOLE. THE WINDOW THEN DISINTEGRATED AND FELL IN THE REAR SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WAS HESITANT TO ENGAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED IN REGARDS TO THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,955.

MY FAMILY WAS DRIVING OUR 2001 HYUNDAI ACCENT IN WHICH ANOTHER VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH OURS EXCEPT THE DASH BOARD AIR BAGS DIDN'T INFLATE. AFTERWARDS WITHIN TWO WEEKS I STOPPED AT THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND ASKED WHO SHOULD I INQUIRE WHY THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND I DID SEND AN EMAIL TO THE ADDRESS THE DEALERSHIP PROVIDED BUT HAVE HEARD NOTHING. MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER GOT BANGED UP BUT ARE OKAY NOW. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT COULD OF BEEN MUCH SERIOUS AND WHY I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM HYUNDAI. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON OCTOBER 20, 2009 IN EL CENTRO, CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU. *TR

MY CLIENT WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED WHEN THE CAR HER HUSBAND WAS DRIVING STRUCK A TELEPHONE POLE HEAD-ON AND THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE AIRBAG SYSTEM HAD NOT GIVEN ANY WARNING THAT IT WAS NOT WORKING AT ANY TIME BEFORE THE CRASH. *TR
