| 2008 | POWER TRAIN | DEAR MADAM/SIR, MY NAME IS [XXX], AND ALONG WITH MY HUSBAND [XXX] I OWN AN AUTOMATIC SILVER HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2008, PLATE NUMBER: [XXX], VIN: [XXX]. WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW, SERVICED IT IN A TIMELY FASHION, AS REQUIRED, ONLY AT HYUNDAI REPRESENTATIVES. THE CAR METER CURRENTLY READS CLOSE TO 40,000 MILES. ON JANUARY 2ND, 2013 ARUND 4:15 PM I PARKED MY CAR ON THE STREET, IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, FACING UPHILL, LIKE I USUALLY DO. HALF AN HOUR LATER A FRIEND ARRIVED, PARKED HER CAR DOWN THE STREET, FACING DOWNHILL, 100 FEET AWAY FROM MY CAR, SAME SIDE OF THE STREET. AT THAT TIME SHE REMEMBERS SHE SAW MY CAR IN THE SAME SPOT I INITIALLY PARKED IT. AN HOUR LATER, AS MY FRIEND WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE, MY HUSBAND LOOKED OVER THE WINDOW AND SAW MY CAR AROUND 50 FEET DOWN THE ROAD FROM MY USUAL PARKING SPOT. HE INITIALLY THOUGH THAT THE PARKING SPACE WAS OCCUPIED WHEN I ARRIVED HOME, SO HE HANDED ME THE CAR KEYS SO I CAN BRING THE CAR IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. WHEN I WALKED WITH MY FRIEND TOWARDS HER CAR, WE SAW THAT MY CAR HAS SLID DOWN THE ROAD AROUND 50 FEET, PROBABLY PUSHING MY FRIEND'S CAR AROUND 10 FEET AWAY FROM HER INITIAL PARKING LOCATION. THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE SCRATCHES, SO IT IS NOT LIKELY THAT MY CAR HAS BEEN PUSHED BY ANOTHER CAR. AS A RESULT OF THE COLLISION THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS A COMPLETELY DAMAGED REAR BUMPER, WITH CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE TRUNK ALSO. MY FRIENDS CAR (A LEXUS RX, 2012) HAS THE REAR BUMPER DAMAGED. WE BELIEVE THIS INCIDENT WAS DUE TO FAULTY TRANSMISSION ON THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA. IN PAST, WE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS . AT THIS POINT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CAR. I DRIVE MY DAUGHTER IN THAT CAR, AND IF THE CAR DECIDES TO SLIDE DOWN THE ROAD ON ITS OWN, THIS PUTS MY BABY'S LIFE IN DANGER. THANKS [XXX] MY HYUNDAI CASE NUMBER IS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR |
