| Description of the problem | Hello, unintended acceleration: my 2015 hyundai sonata supernaturally flew forward wide open and crashed into my house. 3 or 4 airbags went off and whole front end bad. My wife and i were inside with seat belts on. We had just driven back and pulled in the driveway. I put in park. Then i decided to pull up a couple feet. Put foot on brake put in d and- wham!!- like a missile it was screaming wide open jumping forward. (my foot was on brake-not on gas-i saw it after i got sense enough to turn off key) . Anyway, in 1 second we were into the deck, tires spinning and smoking and engine screaming. Smoke in the car, i thought it was on fire. I get sense enough to turn the ignition off. My wife could not get out as passenger side door bent. Finally, she squeezed out when i pulled on it. We have bruises and my back and my wife's back are out. I have looked online and hyundai has been having a lot of cars with this. I have turned into insurance but the adjuster has not come yet. I am out 500 delectable. Plus when a car is wrecked it is worth less. And i am afraid to get back in this car!!! What if we were behind a tractor trailer we would be decapitated. I have no money to pay you but my insurance is good and paid. Have you seen this before? Call 804 335 9819. Stephany. Write estimate. 500 deduct. Call back if we go to dr. To get something else written up for dr. Call back if we need rental. Insurance is encompass. Agent: atkinson insurance agency. 804 789 0795. |
