| Description of the problem | I was driving at 35 mph in the lane, the car on the left lane hit the rear body and tire of driver side, but the car didn't stop even after the impact. After the collision, i pressed very hard on the brake pedal to stop, but it kept moving, even increased its speed up to 60 mph, and turned into the different direction. Also the wheel was stuck by itself and i was not able to turn anywhere with my hands. It went off the opposite side of the road without any control. 20 years old toyota camry was able to stop at the spot of collision, but hyundai genesis couldn't. The wheel and the brake were both stuck and unable to be controlled and crashed into the electric pole. The air bag was deployed, and hyundai genesis was totaled. In 2014, the brake recall service was received two times from the dealer. There must be the mechanical failure in the brake, speed control, and the wheel which caused this total loss. I was injured and taken by the ambulance later. I never had any accidents like this before with any other cars! |
