| 2010 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | AS SOON AS I GOT ON THE FREEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL, BRAKE, AND ACCELERATOR LOCKED UP. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT DOWN THE RAMP TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. I PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BECAUSE, THE CAR KEPT ROLLING. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE CAR OFF BUT, THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE CAR WAS STILL ON. I MANAGED TO GET THE KEY OUT AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN I RESTARTED THE CAR. I DROVE TO THE NEAREST EXIT AND WHEN I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY, IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN THE LEFT TURN LANE SO, I COULD NOT GET OVER. I WAITED AND RESTARTED THE CAR LIKE BEFORE. I PARKED AND LET THE CAR RUN FOR A FEW MINUTES. SINCE THEN IT HAS NOT HAPPENED BUT, THIS IS A 2010 HYUNDAI ACCENT (HATCHBACK) AND I BOUGHT IT NOT EVEN 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY TOLD ME BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY WERE CHASING A GHOST AND COULD NOT HELP ME. I ASKED WHAT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND LEADS TO AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD THEY CAN'T HELP ME WITH THAT QUESTION BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM IN THE CAR. THEY RETURNED THE CAR TO ME WITH NOTHING FIXED AND NO ANSWERS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT LEAD UP TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT CRASHED OR DAMAGED THIS CAR IN ANY WAY. IF THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG AND HOW TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR? *TR |
