| Description of the problem | On july 12,2016 i was pulling into a parking spot at the bank. My foot was on the brake as i entered the space. My car then seemed to make a loud noise like the engine was revering ups it then shot forward like a rocket. It felt someone had smashed behind me! Luckily there were pillars in front of the bank which prevented my car from crashing in the bank. I have found several complaints with the 2015 hyundai sonatas doing this however there is no recall. Cost of damage was $9,051. This was an extremely frightening experience! |
