VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WIFE PARKED CAR ON DRIVEWAY SLOPING DOWNHILL TOWARD GARAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN PARK AND THE KEY WAS REMOVED. WHILE SHE WAS OUT OF VEHICLE UNLOADING YOUNG CHILD FROM CAR SEAT, 6-YEAR-OLD BOY CLIMBED UP INTO FROM OF VEHICLE. THE BOY WAS UNABLE TO REACH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE KEY WAS OUT OF VEHICLE (IN PURSE WITH WIFE). HE WAS ABLE TO EASILY PULL ON THE AUTOMATIC SHIFT LEVER AND TRANSITION THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL (AGAIN WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO REACH THE BRAKE PEDAL & NO KEY IN VEHICLE). THE CAR ROLLED DOWNHILL AND PINED WIFE BETWEEN SIDE OF GARAGE AND VEHICLE. LUCKILY, THE SHEET METAL SIDE PANEL OF CAR DEFLECTED ENOUGH TO SAVE HER AND ONCE THE CAR RAN INTO SOMETHING IN THE GARAGE AND STOPPED SHE WAS ABLE TO ESCAPE. WE ARE AWAITING MEDICAL ATTENTION BUT SHE HAS SEVERE BRUISING AND POSSIBLE CRACKED RIBS. VEHICLE WAS FOUND IN NEUTRAL WITH NO KEY IN IGNITION. AFTER STARTING VEHICLE (WITH KEY) REVERSING IT, PLACING IT BACK IN PARK, AND REMOVING KEY, THE ISSUE WITH THE SHIFT-LEVER FAILING TO LOCK COULD NOT BE IMMEDIATELY RE-CREATED. VEHICLE IS AVAILABLE FOR FURTHER INSPECTION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ON AT LEAST A DOZEN OCCASIONS WITHIN THE PAST FEW MONTHS ALONE, WHILE DRIVING I WILL SUDDENLY HEAR A HIGH-PITCHED "WHIRRING" SOUND THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S REVVING UP, THEN IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS ALL OF MY DASH LIGHTS AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHTS START TO FLICKER AND/OR GO OFF COMPLETELY AND THEN COME BACK ON AGAIN. EVERY SINGLE TIME THIS HAPPENS, AS SOON AS I TURN OFF MY CAR (DOESN'T MATTER IF I KEEP DRIVING FOR A LONG WHILE OR STOP DRIVING SHORTLY AFTER IT HAPPENS), IT WON'T START AGAIN. IT'S COMPLETELY DEAD AND I HAVE TO HAVE IT JUMPED. MY CAR HAS 94,000 MILES ON IT, AND IN THE PAST 8 YEARS, THE CAR HAS DIED/I'VE HAD TO HAVE IT JUMPED OVER 30 TIMES. I'M ON MY 5TH BATTERY! AFTER THE RECALL FOR THE ALTERNATOR GASKET VALVE CAP, I THOUGHT THESE PROBLEMS WOULD BE FIXED, BUT I'VE HAD EXACTLY THE SAME ELECTRICAL ISSUES/BATTERY CONSTANTLY DYING SINCE THEN! THAT RECALL LITERALLY DID NOTHING. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE, AS THE CAR CAN JUST SUDDENLY LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING, AND THEN IF YOU TURN THE CAR OFF, IT WON'T START UP AGAIN WITHOUT BEING JUMPED. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO FIX THIS ASAP. THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, AND IT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!! I'LL IN THE PAST 8 YEARS, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY 5 TIMES IN MY VERACRUZ.
