“My son was driving at around 30 MPH on a 2 lane city street when the steering unit gave out and he almost lost control of the car. Looking under the car he noticed that the steering fluid was pouring out the rack and pinion gear box. I do understand that the car has over 100k miles on it and it more than 5 yrs old. However I have owned many cars within my lifetime and never had this issue - ever. Yet -I did notice on the nhsta website that there was another Hyundai Accent owner with same model year ( 2010 ) who lodged a similar complaint. …”

“I was driving approximately 20mph when I heard a breaking noise from underneath my 2010 Hyundai Accent when I lost steering power, the brakes didn't work and the accelerator as well. This caused me to lose control of my car resulting in me crashing into another parked vehicle. Thank god it wasn't on a hwy going 65-70 MPH. I see there aren't any recalls on any of the mentioned problems. Also to note I had to replace a coil pack that I read another owner had problems and the airbag light came on and I'm thinking there's also a problem with that too. …”

“Purchased approx aug 10 2011 from carmax. Noticed vibration or shudder from steering wheel in park and idling, more pronounced on right side of engine, right side of car into back seat. Some vibration and shudder while decelerating at speed and around 20 MPH. Took the car to Hyundai around september 2011. They claimed the car had 4 motor mounts (engine and trans I assume) and that 2 of the mounts were bad. At different times they described the mounts as broken , cracked , and stretched . They installed the two mounts (lower front and back location to me) calling them revised . …”

“As soon as I got on the freeway, the steering wheel, brake, and accelerator locked up. I managed to make it down the ramp to the side of the freeway. I put on the emergency brake because, the car kept rolling. I attempted to turn the car off but, the key was stuck in the ignition. The car was still on. I managed to get the key out and waited a few minutes then I restarted the car. I drove to the nearest exit and when I got off the freeway, it happened again in the left turn lane so, I could not get over. I waited and restarted the car like before. …”
