Description of the problem | I was driving approx 65-70mph on the freeway just after 7pm at night. It was dark, but no rain. Tucson stopped out of nowhere. It was like i hit an invisible brick wall and then started to push through it. I thought maybe i'd hit some unseen road debris. I pulled off to the side of the road. I did not get out (it was dark and too many cars were whizzing by.) none seemed to be swerving or pulling over from hitting road debris. My seatbelt locked and there was a loud noise. My airbag did not deploy, but my seatbelt did lock up. My ears were ringing and my chest was sore from the seatbelt. There were no sensor warnings on my console, so i put on my emergency flashers and drove off at the next exit. When i inspected my car, there was no damage to be found. I called police non emergency and they put me through to highway patrol so that i could notify them about debris (even though i hadn't seen it.) the next morning my neck hurt and i had a slight headache (this has continued for 5 or 6 days now). My face mask flew into the foot area. When i called the police non emergency number back a couple days later, they forwarded me to the highway patrol and they looked up the call/report. The officers had not found/come in contact with any debris in the area. I made an appointment with the hyundai dealership to see if there was damage underneath that i couldn't see and to pull the electronic records. They found nothing. I feel like the emergency braking system deployed for some unknown reason. This is the second time it's done it. The first time the car in front of me was turning right and was well into the turn, nowhere in front of me and the tucson braked suddenly in the middle of the intersection. I kept on the gas and it picked up speed again. Thankfully both times no one was immediately behind me. I do not recall the date of this, but i can submit a second report if needed. |
