 Description of the problemI was traveling south on i85 south approaching the exit 17 where i had planned to exit, as i began to apply the brake the engine was racing, and the vehicle continued to accelerate, i could not stop the vehicle, i turned right onto the exit, the vehicle did not slow down, i could not make the complete turn, i fractured my left thumb, and broke the steering wheel while trying to avoid crashing into some trees that were in the path of the vehicle, i continued to try to stop the vehicle but it kept going; i ended up crashing into an embankment just a couple of feet off of the ramp road on i85 north. Upon the impact of the vehicle crashing into the embankment the airbag exploded like a balloon and then deflated, it did not protect my body from the impact, i experienced back fractures, hemoperitoneum, and bowl perforation from the seat belt, i fractured my left thumb while steering the vehicle, i was hospitalized for 9 days, and received surgery on my bowel. The body shop while writing an estimate started the vehicle and discovered that the accelerator is still stuck (electronic throttle control). I did contact hyundai and sent them authorization to inspect the vehicle, however after reading about the electronic throttle control, and the problems of other drivers have experienced with the component, i decided to contact your office. I don't want hyundai to tamper with the vehicle and alter or destroy the condition of the vehicle and change the status of the accelerator in its present state. Is it possible for you to inspect the vehicle? I am concerned that other drivers of these vehicles may encounter the same problems, i was blessed because it could have been fatal,and had the on coming vehicles arrived seconds earlier there could have been multi a car crash. Please contact me.[xxx], [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
