Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING AT THE POSTED HIGHWAY SPEED I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR LURCHED, THEN SURGED. I STARTED/TRIED TO USE THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE CAR. THAT DIDN'T WORK. I TRIED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL...THAT DIDN'T WORK....CAR KEPT SPEEDING UP TILL I HIT A MASSIVE RV AT 90MPH. I WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS, TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO A TRAUMA CENTER, AND LATER LEARNED THAT NONE OF THE MANY AIRBAGS THAT THIS CAR HAD DID NOT DEPLOY. I AM TRULY BLESSED HAVING SURVIVED THIS ACCIDENT. THERE NEEDS TO BE BETTER VEHICLES WITH BETTER WORKING SYSTEMS TO PROTECT US. I WILL NOT RENT ANOTHER HYUNDAI EVER AGAIN!! *JS
