I AM THE OWNER OF A 2004 HYUNDAI ACCENT. THERE IS A SMALL HOOK THAT HAS BECOME DETACHED FROM UNDERNEATH THE FLOORMAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THERE IS A SMALL HOLE IN THE FLOORMAT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE FLOORMAT IN PLACE. BECAUSE THE SMALL HOOK HAS BECOME DETACHED THE SMALL HOLE IN THE FLOORMAT SLIDES OF THE HOOK THEREBY CAUSING THE FLOORMAT TO MOVE FORWARD. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, BUT I THINK THIS COULD BECOME A PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A SIMILAR PROBLEM TOYOTA HAS EXPERIENCE IN SOME OF THEIR VEHICLES, BUT I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION. *TR

AN ACCIDENT OCCURED (COLLISION) WITH MY 2004 HYUNDIA ACCENT. IMMEDIATELY A FIRE STARTED UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRE BURNED THROUGH THE FIREWALL INTO THE FRONT SEAT OF THE CAR. THE GAS LINE SHUT OFF SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS AND THE FIRE WALL SHOULD HAVE STOPPED IT. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS KILLED. *NM
