I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AT 33000 MILES WHEN IT WAS BUCKING AND HESITATING WHEN I ACCELERATED. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DETECT A CODE AND TOLD ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE PART COMPLETELY BROKE DOWN AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR SOON WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 25 MPH AND WAS BUCKING UP AND DOWN LIKE A PING PONG BALL. I CRAWLED INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED AN IGNITION COIL REPLACED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE OTHER COILS WOULD PROBABLY GO BAD ONE BY ONE, BUT I COULDN'T HAVE THEM ALL REPLACED UNDER THE WARRANTY AT ONE TIME UNTIL THEY MALFUNCTIONED. I WAS VERY NERVOUS DRIVING THE CAR UNTIL IN DECEMBER 2014 ANOTHER COIL STARTED OCCASIONALLY TO ACT UP. ON SOME DAYS THE CAR WILL BUCK AND HESITATE FOR A FEW MINUTES, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT COME ON, SO WHEN I BRING THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE DUPLICATED. ON OTHER DAYS THE PROBLEM IS VERY MILD AND ONLY FOR A FEW SECONDS AND STILL THE CHECK E...

I HADN'T HAD THIS CAR FOR SIX MONTHS BEFORE TWO COILS WENT BAD. THE TWO COILS WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER, AND WITHIN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS THE OTHER TWO WENT. I HAD TO END OF PAYING A MECHANIC SHOP MYSELF TO REPLACE THE REMAINING TWO COILS DUE TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRING. THIS CAR IS ONLY A 2011 AND I DON'T FEEL THOSE PARTS SHOULD HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED SO SOON. THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE COIL PACKS ON MY 2011 HYUNDAI ACCENT 3 TIMES SO FAR AND YESTERDAY THEY WENT OUT AGAIN. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CAR STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. I WENT TO THE AUTO REPAIR CENTER AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE COILS WERE BAD AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE IS HAVING A MISFIRE. THIS WILL NOW BE THE 4TH TIME I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE ALL OF THE COIL PACKS. I SPOKE WITH HYUNDAI AND THEY STATED THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WERE NO HELP ON THIS ISSUE. *TR
