| Description of the problem | My wife believes our car had a "sudden unintended acceleration" that caused the car to lurch forward at a high speed and rear end the car parked in front of her. She kindly suggests that employee take the time to research this on the internet. Use google and type in hyundai sudden unintended acceleration. You will see stories from numerous hyundai car owners who say they have had this same problem happen. This problem is very dangerous and i fear for my wife's safety when she continues to drive our hyundai. I know we have no proof of this happening unless hyundai motor corp. "owns up" to the problem. But my wife is absolutely certain that our car suddenly unintended accelerated forward causing the rear end collision. She was attempting to park her car on a street. My wife is a very safe and careful driver. She has been driving for 30 years without having an accident, until recently. She truly believes the accident was caused by the sua and she was not at fault. |
