On October 29, 2008, I bought a USED Hyundai Veracruz, 2007 model, The mileage on date of purchase was 8,700 and now it is 12,425. The car was used to drive to work from home and run errands around Jersey City, NJ. On April 23, 2009, while I was running errands on Tonnele Ave, Jersey City NJ, I noticed the speed of my SUV gradually getting slower even though I was pressing on the gas pedal. My speed kept decreasing and did not increase as I accelerated. As I was making a right turn onto John F. Kennedy BLVD from Manhattan Ave, I noticed that my Check Engine Light appeared on the car’s dashboard screen. After making the right turn from Manhattan Ave onto John F. Kennedy BLVD, I lost the vehicle control caused me to drove into the driveway on John F. Kennedy BLVD where I hit two parked cars. My SUV stopped upon impact of hitting two cars and severe damage was done to the right side of my car because of such impact. Thankfully, no one was injured. My speed after turning was between 10-15 mph. It was a bright clear day, no rain or snow. After the accident, I called the Police and GEICO, who insure my vehicle. GEICO sent my SUV to Hudson Auto Group dealership to find out if there was any malfunction. The Hudson Auto Group concluded malfunction of (THROTEL POSITION SENSOR—TPS) codes P2106-P1295-P0638. The dealership removed and replaced the TPS malfunction and performed an ECM update, following procedures TSB#09-FL-003 (See attached report). My insurance adjuster told me that it is Hyundai’s responsibility to assess and repair the other damages done to my vehicle because of this accident. I was told that Hyundai Motor USA will be inspecting my vehicle and assessing the damages. Upon recent research, I learned that there are many recalls had been issued for my vehicle by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (N.H.T.S.A). (N.H.T.S.A CAMPAIGN ID 09V12200, MGFS REPORT DATE APIRAL 14, 2009) I was unaware of these recalls and DID NOT receive any notice of these recalls prior to my accident on April 23rd, 2009. My last service (maintenance) was performed by Hudson Hyundai on February 28, 2009. I was told everything was fine and the oil change was performed as requested. There was no discussion of the recall or anything that may have helped me to avoid this accident. I did not expect this type of negligence from Hyundai Motors USA. I have lost all my confidence in Hyundai as this accident was both traumatic and shocking for me, an incident I would not like to repeat in the future to anyone who has any Hyundai. Wish all Hyundai owners to save drive |
