Description of the problem	I own a hyundai sonata 2013 and on friday, september 12, 2014 at approximately 1:45p. M., i was driving less than 5 mph in a parking lot. Upon entering into a parking space and placing the car in park; the car failed to maintain its parking status and jumped into a small shrub bank inches in front of the selected parking space. As a result, the car also damaged another car that was diagonally positioned across from my car. I informed the police of this incident (as stated above) and notified the insurance company. I later learned that there was a recall on the car and conducted some research and found that the corporation had distributed a notice back in july 2014 about the car's automatic transmission switch cable recall; however, i did not receive my recall letter until a week after the incident occurred. The recall letter describes issues with the gear as it relates to "p" parking. (note: i did notice that there is a contrast in the descriptive information i found in my research for the recall and the actual notice i received from hyundai, but it all relates to "p" parking. The online information closely explains what i actually experienced). After receiving the recall letter, i notified hyundai about the incident and was informed that i would receive a packet that requires me to send them back photos of the vehicle damage, and 10 other items (if applicable) related to the incident. Hyundai would then conduct an investigation that could last anywhere between 6-8 weeks. I understand that hyundai will notify me and the insurance company of the findings from that investigation once it is completed.
