Description of the problem | On 10/15/16 i was in a multi impact accident. After hitting a curb, small tree, took a stop sign out, my car landed into a tree in between two 10 in. Bushes. As the car seemed to settle i immediately smelled a chemical odor. I then saw a small white what i thought was paper appear on the inner steering wheel, suddenly blood was pouring down my face where i could barely see. I thought the car was on fire because of the smell. It did not smell like gas but more like sulfur. I was transported to uci trauma center where i stayed for four days. My car had 6 airbags and all failed except for the one i saw when my car settled. Since i bought the elantra i reported to hyundai that while i was driving and sometimes when i would turn left the car would stop, then accelerate full speed. I have the work order. This acceleration would happen while driving, slowing down for a stop light and when turning to the left. I have several witnesses who have been with me when this happens, the car does not require that i restart it, it just stops then accelerates. It has done this three or four time a month. |
