Description of the problem	Tl* the contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving 52 mph, the vehicle struck a deer. The seat belt did not secure the contact and he lurched forward.

The failure mileage was 139,000. tt consumer stated three times for the transmission downshifting on it's own while driving. It was taken back to the point of purchase where carmax and hyundai worked on the vehicle three times without correcting the problem. The check engine light kept coming on and it had to be returned to the point of purchase or once again it was unrepaired upon his return. This took place several times during ownership. Finally determined that there was a recall on the transmission which was causing it to downshift on it while driving. My wife was driving on the highway and transmission downshifted. The rear tail light house in units kept blowing bulbs in short-circuiting out. Rear taillight units were smoking which was causing a burning smoke and or odor inside the car. While driving down the highway a deer jumped out in front of the car and collided with the deer. No airbags were deployed. Updated 10/12/18jb
