| 2009 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | OUR 2009 EOS LUX WAS BEING DRIVEN AT A SLOW SPEED INTO A HEAD IN PARKING SPACE YESTERDAY. GAS PEDAL WAS BEING ENGAGED TO GET INTO THE SPACE WHEN CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND RAPIDLY LUNGED FORWARD STRIKING TWO PARKED CARS IN THE PARKING ROW FACING THIS SPACE. PROPERTY DAMAGE ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE TWO VEHICLES STRUCK WAS SIGNIFICANT. THIS CAR HAD SUDDENLY JERKED FORWARD WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION THE DAY BEFORE; AFTER THE SUDDEN JUMP FORWARD THE CAR RESUMED A NORMAL ACCELERATION. INSURER AND DEALER HAVE ASSURED US THEY WILL INVESTIGATE. THIS VEHICLE HAS A SERIOUS AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT AND WE WILL NOT DRIVE IT AGAIN UNLESS WE ARE CERTAIN THAT THE DEFECT IS IDENTIFIED AND CORRECTED. *TR |
| 2008 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TRUNK LID:LOCK | I USED MY TRUNK FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW CAR. AFTER I SHUT IT, THERE WAS A GAP BETWEEN THE TRUNK LID AND THE BOTTOM, AS IF IT WAS STILL OPEN. I PUT MY HAND UNDERNEATH THE TRUNK LID IN ORDER TO LIFT AND TRY AGAIN. BEFORE I COULD LIFT, THE TRUNK HYDRAULIC-LY CLOSED DOWN TIGHTLY ON MY FINGERS. MY HAND WAS CLAMPED, IMMOVABLE. LUCKILY IN MY OTHER HAND I HAD THE KEYS, AND WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK THE TRUNK, BECAUSE THE PAIN WAS EXCRUCIATING. I BELIEVE THIS MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE MECHANICS OF THE HARD TOP CONVERTIBLE WHICH LOWERS INTO THE TRUNK. WHILE THIS MAY BE A GOOD WAY TO TRAP A BURGLAR WHO THINKS THE TRUNK IS OPEN, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND ESPECIALLY IF A SMALL CHILD HAPPENED TO PUT THEIR FINGERS NEAR IT. THIS CAUSED DEEP INDENTATION MARKS ON THE TOPS AND BOTTOMS OF MY FINGERS, WRIST THROBBING AND NUMBNESS/PRICKLING IN MY FINGERS. *TR |
