2012 Hyundai Accent Steering Problems

“When driving on the highway I noticed the steering became extremely loose. I was traveling around 65 MPH in a straight line second lane to the right on a five lane highway - no puddles or water on the pavement and all of sudden the car lost control between the steering and the tires. I began to swerve multiple times and had to fight the car from spinning out of control by pressing the breaks and maneuvering the steering many times to the opposite side the car was swerving to. …”

“I was traveling home from the store may 3rd 2014 and came into a curve on route 20 between princeton and athens w.v.. The curve was to the right in a low but steep bank at 40 MPH and the right front wheel caliper grabbed causing immediate loss of speed and caused momentary loss of control but regained as soon as the caliper released which was in approximately two seconds. Fortunately no oncoming traffic was around or it could have been messy. The wheel was feeling sluggish after the incident and I'm no longer happy with this vehicle, it is to dangerous. …”

“We purchased a 2012 Hyundai Accent on october 19, 2011. From the very first day we started having issues where the brakes would not brake at times and would have bouts of unintended acceleration. From the first day of purchase we advised the Hyundai dealership and even brought in our vehicle to be looked at. They refused to do any kind of diagnostic and said that I was being a paranoid woman and new moms tend to worry too much. My husband and I have both driven this vehicle and experienced this issue. We advised Hyundai, the dealership and our insurance company of the issue. …”

“While driving my car in a 25 MPH speed limit school zone, my steering wheel locked making it impossible to control my car on what coincidentally was a curvy road after having just made a right turn. Therefore as I had just begun to pick up speed, having to follow a curve about 500 yards thereafter, my steering wheel remained in the position I had placed it in order to follow the curve, locking immediately after. In losing control of my car, my initial reaction was to try to shift my steering wheel but as it didn't budge, I hit about 2 or 3 concrete median blocks, at about 15 MPH. …”

“I have continued to have problems with the braking system, steering and suspension which started when I was coming home from picking my son up from school dec. 21 2012. There was snow on the road and I tried to slow down going down an incline but the brakes caused the car to jump, the steering would not respond fast enough and the suspension felt like we were riding on metal rims. I almost hit a telephone pole but we slowed in the softer snow which wasn't beat down yet. …”
