| Description of the problem | Car put in park to call a persons house was at his neighbors house next door for directions ran off in ditch thought at time i might have left car in drive . Went down bank when my dog and i stopped car in park did not think nothing else about it until today. Went to store came back parked 2012 sonata in driveway left car on to run in house right quick so dog would be cool. I put legs outside car 2012 sonata took off like a bat out of [xxx] threw me out on the ground. I hurt my back and rear end very painful and 2012 sonata ran into my 2004 anniversary edition collectors car which was as close to new as they get. They have a recall on line that say the date has not been made to send out notices about a pin breaking in gear shift causing the car to go in park and still be in drive . I read on this same sight about a women who had her car do her the same way and had to have 10 stitches . I called hyundai dealer near by they said bring it in to be checked . I asked who would fix my 2 wrecked car that will have a lots less value . He told me to call my insurance company. So i called accident will raise my insurance payment that will cost me the rest of my life. Do not know where they got this thing at the end of the mileage is 30,000 ,32000 or 45,000 miles and they are release from fault when people are coming close to getting killed or cripple for life. These car companies are getting away with things if i did in my business they would get everything i have and make me pay for life hope i have better luck than these other people. They are going to tow the car in and check the problem. Who is to say they will fix it and say nothing was wrong like i have already read. Please be careful if you on a 2012 hyundai sonata information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
