Hyundai Sonata Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Dec 15, 2013
Reported on Dec 15, 2013
| I WAS PARKING AT A RESTAURANT IN AN ANGLED PARKING SPACE NEAR A CONCRETE PLATFORM WHERE DUMPSTERS ARE KEPT. HALF WAY INTO THE SPACE, WHILE I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE, MY CAR SURGED FORWARD VERY FAST AND SLAMMED INTO THE CONCRETE PLATFORM. I HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR NEVER STOPPED. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT AND WAS NOT INJURED BUT THERE WAS ALMOST $7,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO MY CAR. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED, BUT I AM UNDER CONTRACT OF A LEASE WITH THIS CAR AND HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT. I AM SO AFRAID THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN THAT I WILL NEVER ALLOW FAMILY OR FRIENDS TO RIDE IN THIS CAR. | |
