AIR BAGS
I WAS IN AN MVA ON 4/7/2020. I WAS TRAVELING AT 45MPH WHEN I COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, WHEREAS ALL OF THE OTHER VEHICLE'S DID. BECAUSE OF THIS, I SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. I RECEIVED EXTREME WHIPLASH, STASHED MUSCLES IN THE CHEST, AND A LARGE CONTUSION ACROSS MY LOWER ABDOMEN. I ALSO RECEIVED INJURY TO MY LEGS.

AT FIRST IN THE BEGINNING MY CAR DOES IT ONCE IN A BLUE MOON; HOWEVER NOW EVERYDAY FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS MY CAR WOULD POWER DOWN WHILE BEING AT A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN, OR IN MOTION. WHEN IT POWERS DOWN THE ENGINE AND BATTERY LIGHTS COMES ON. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART MY CAR. IT NORMALLY DOES IT TWICE EVERYDAY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND MY BABY. I'M SCARED THAT A CAR WOULD COME UP BEHIND AND HIT ME WHILE MY BABY IS IN THE CAR. I FEAR OUR LIVES. WHEN I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE FOR THEM TO CHECK AND SEE WHY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON THE CODE WAS ALWAYS CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I WENT TO GO GET THAT FIX AND MY CAR IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO, WHEN MY CAR IS IN MOTION THE RPM DOESN'T MOVE IT STAYS AT 0. ALSO, THE SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG ISN'T WORKING. WHEN SOMEBODY IS SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS OFF, BUT WHEN SOMEBODY ISN'T SITTING THERE THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I HAVEN'T BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS.

2015 HYUNDAI ACCENT ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR CAUSING A FIRE. THE CAR WAS PARKED BUT THE WINDOW MADE A HORRIBLE NOISE WHEN BEING ROLLED UP. WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE CAR, THE DOOR WAS ALL MELTED. HYUNDAI INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE IS UNKNOWN BUT DECLINES FIXING OR REPLACING IT. EVERY WEEK ITS A NEW POSSIBLE CAUSE BUT NOTHING CONFIRMED EXCEPT UNKNOWN. THE CAR IS COVERED UNDER THE NEW VEHICLE WARRANTY BUT MY ATTORNEY HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL . AT THIS TIME WITH NO HEAD LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, ELECTRICAL DASH, WINDOWS OR LOCKS, HYUNDAI HAS STATED THEY CANNOT CONFIRM THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT WANT ME TO PUT MYSELF AND MY UNBORN CHILD AT RISK.

THIS COMPUTER MALFUNCTION HAS CREATED DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. THE CAR IS UNPREDICTABLE AND HAZARDOUS TO ME AND EVERYONE IN TRAFFIC. 6/8/15: WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR COULD NOT MOVE. AFTER I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN TURNED IT ON AGAIN, THE PROBLEM WAS GONE AND I COULD DRIVE. 7/27/15: THE PROBLEM RECURRED IN A SIMILAR FASHION, AGAIN AFTER STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. ONLY THIS TIME MULTIPLE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH BOARD, AND THE CAR COULD NOT MOVE. AFTER RESTARTING I COULD KEEP DRIVING. 9/24/15: WHILE DRIVING, MULTIPLE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH BOARD. A FEW MOMENTS LATER THEY WENT OFF, BUT THE TRIP ODOMETERS A/B RESET THEMSELVES TO 0. 1/17/17: THE SAME PROBLEM RECURRED. WHILE DRIVING, MULTIPLE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH BOARD. A FEW MOMENTS LATER THEY WENT OFF, BUT THE TRIP ODOMETERS A/B RESET THEMSELVES TO 0. REPAIRS TO FIX THE PROBLEM: THE CLUSTER WAS REPLACED. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED. BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECURRING AGAIN. *TR
