Description of the problem | Driving home from work on narrow 2 lane road.,my car suddenly accelerated and shot across the opposite side of oncoming lane.. Thankfully no car was coming toward me. At the time. I managed to get it under control, but was terrified thinking what if a car had been coming up toward me. This happened sometime in summer of 2013. I thought maybe it was just a fluke until today when i was reading about chrysler autos having sudden acceleration problems. I decided to check to see if any hyundai cars had the same problem. I was surprised to see that indeed there had been a case reported. Now, i am very uneasy driving my car, and especially since my 19 yr old also drives it. I have not seen any recall to have this issue fixed. I have also email the hyundai corp. To inform them also of my experience. I certainly do not want to die or have any one else killed because of this. Would like to see hyundai recall these cars to fix the problem. |
