I have since found out via the internet that a recall has been issued for t
During cold weather, the trunk lid will suddenly fall when reaching into the trunk. The lid does not need to be bumped for it to fall. I believe it can be inspected upon request.

I was driving home with my children from the store, when my car started smoking, shut off, and the engine caught on fire. I barely made it out of the car with my toddlers before the whole thing was engulfed, and I lost all of my money, cards, and the majority of our clothing, as it had been in the trunk after having finished washing it at the laundromat up the street.

ON 5/15/2013 MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN A 1 VEHICLE ACCIDENT ON INTERSTATE 40 EAST IN AMARILLO TEXAS. SHE WAS DRIVING A 2013 HYUNDAI ACCENT LEASED NEW IN FEBRUARY. THIS WAS A VIOLENT CRASH IN WHICH THE CAR ROLLED NUMEROUS TIMES. NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. NEITHER HYUNDAI NOR THE DEALER SEEMED WORRIED ABOUT THE SITUATION. I SPOKE WITH BOTH HYUNDAI AND AMARILLO HYUNDAI AND WAS BLOWN OFF. SAFETY APPARENTLY IS NOT THEIR PRIORITY, JUST THE SALE OF AN UNSAFE PRODUCT. *JS
MY DAUGHTERS WERE IN A THREE CAR ACCIDENT ON 13 JUNE 2019. THEY WERE REAR ENDED WHICH CAUSED THEM TO HIT ANOTHER CAR IN THE REAR; NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THEY SUFFER FROM NECK PAINS, SHOULDER PAINS, BACK PAINS, AND HEADACHES. WHY INSTALL AIRBAGS IF THE ARE GOING TO BE NO USE DURING AN ACCIDENT?!? I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HYUNDAI!!!
