NHTSA Complaint #10398932 — 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS CUT OFF BY ANOTHER CAR. I WAS TRAVELLING ABOUT 50MPH, I PROCEEDED TO BRAKE (DID NOT REQUIRE HARD BRAKING, BECAUSE ME SPEED WAS NOT HIGH) AND STEER TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID HITTING THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR THAT CUT ME OFF. MY CAR OVER COMPENSATED AND PROCEEDED TO SWERVE. IT TOOK A LOT TO REGAIN CONTROL. MY INITIAL STEER TO AVOID THE CAR IN FRONT WAS NOT SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE OUT OF CONTROL. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WITH OTHER VEHICLES THAT I HAVE DRIVEN AND THIS EXPERIENCE WAS RATHER FRIGHTENING.
