  • 80,000 miles
In October of 2020 the car had an oil change. About a month later while driving down the highway I started to hear a ticking noise. When I got to my house we started to investigate what was going on. First we checked the oil which was nothing but fumes but the oil light never came on. Confused as to why there was no oil we kept investigating because as stated before the car had an oil change the month prior. We replaced the oil yet again and continued to drive the car to see what was going on. The ticking kept getting louder even with oil being checked daily. This car only has 80,000 miles on it. I finally took it to a mechanic who told be it was my rod berings I was given a quote to fix it in which we agreed I could fix it but it would take some time for me to get the money. On Saturday December 6th I went to pick my car up from the mechanic until I was able to get the money to fix it. While driving it home I kept smelling a burning scent but was unable to access it on the road. I turned off all extras in the car (heater, radio everything that wasn't critical to driving at the moment ). I continued to drive the car home taking it as a easy speed and not trying to overdo it. When I reached the 4 way stop right by house the car was still ticking and I sat at the sign behind some cars, the minute it was my turn to go from the sign the car stalled out in the middle of the road. Thankfully I wasn't on a major road and had enough time to hit my emergency lights. The car had to be towed to my house. I truly believe the 2017 Hyundai Accent is having the same recall as some of the other but the car isn't listed. This problem was reported at the start to Hyundai corporate office they took my name and complaint but no one has ever followed up on the problem.
