| On the afternoon of 2/19/2011, was driving above vehicle. while adjusting into a parking space (going very slowly), car suddenly accelerated to top speed (140 mph?) i then attempted to stop car by driving on the nearest sidewalk to avoid hitting cars on street. at this top speed i crashed into a chain link fence tearing it down and then turned and finally stopped by hitting a tree. my air bags deployed but car was totaled and i was taken to a nearby hospital in northeast phila. with severe injuries. my right arm was broken in two places requiring surgery and my ribs were severely damaged. both legs were extremely bruised. i spent two weeks in two phila. area hospitals and then a month in a nursing home in warminster, pa. until i was able to walk without assistance. am still required to use a cane. | |||

| On my 2006 hyundai elantra gls 4cyl engine there is a issue which i have brought up 3 times now to hyundai & all they keep doing is resetting the computer & trans retrain reset. the issue i am having is at a steady speed off 25-30 miles hour i get a very bad bucking & jerking effect the loss of power shortly after the bucking & jerking happens that the car looses power some much so it doesn't want to move fast enough to keep up on the highway when coming off a off ramp merging into the highway traffic two times the last time was today this all happened again & i couldn't get the car to move fast enough to flow with the regular traffic that i almost got hit by a 18 wheeler truck today. this problem is making the car not safe to drive & i am afraid if i continue to drive it like hyundai wants me to do in this condition to try to bring the check engine light on to see what the problem is i might get hit by someone & possible killed. this issue is a serious operating condition that warrants someone doing something about this problem & this is a common issue from other hyundai elantra owners of the same year or newer i have read online & hyundai hasn't addressed it well enough or come up with a fix as of yet. telling a customer to keep driving the car in this condition is not safe just some the mechanics can get a check engine light on with a code to go on. this car almost always feels like it is going to loss total engine power & just cut out on me while i am driving somewhere & i will get hit. *tr | |||
