2017 Hyundai Accent

ON EASTER SUNDAY 04/01/2018 I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT THAT CAUSED ,$ 10,800.00 IN FRONT END COLLISION DAMAGE , NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE RESULTING COLLISION CAUSED MY SEATBELT ON BREAK 3 OF MY LEFT RIBS . I HAD ACCIDENTALLY DROPPED A CLOSED WATER BOTTLE BETWEEN MY LEGS , SAID BOTTLE THEN ROLLED UP UNDER BRAKE PEDAL , AFTER I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE WHERE IT WENT I LOOKED UP TO MY HORROR DISCOVERED A RED ISHTAR WITH A CAR STOPPED IF FRONT OF ME . I SLAM ON WHAT BRAKE I HAD AVAILABLE CUT SHELL HARD RIGHT AND COLLIDED LEFT FRONT OF MY CAR INTO RIGHT REAR OF BUMPER IN FRONT OF ME , I THEN RICOCHET INTO GUARD RAIL THUS DESERT HE OTHER FRONT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE . AGAIN NEITHER FRONT OR SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

I LIVE WHERE IT SNOWS. WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE SNOW ACCUMULATES AROUND THE FRONT TIRES AND ON FRONT BUMPER. THE ACCUMULATION OF SNOW ON MY FRONT BUMPER IS PUSHING THE BUMPER OFF. ON BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE OF BUMPER ARE SLOWLY BEING PUSHED OFF CAR BY SNOW. THE SIDE OF BUMPER IS NOT BOLTED TO CAR. IT IS BEING HELD BY PLASTIC CLASPS ALONG TOP OF BUMPER. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE TO WORK BECAUSE BUMPER MIGHT FALL OFF WHILE DRIVING. DUE TO ICY ROADS, MY SPEED IS 35 TO 40 MI.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 HYUNDAI ACCENT. WHILE DRIVING 74 MPH, THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY IN THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE AFTER BEING STRUCK ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE QUARTER PANEL. THE VEHICLE TRAVELED OVER THE MEDIAN, STRUCK AN EMBANKMENT, ROLLED OVER, AND LANDED ON ITS ROOF. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THAT CONTACT SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION, HEAD LACERATION, AND A FRACTURED COLLAR BONE THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND WAS SENDING AN INSPECTOR TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 841. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I LIVE IN LAS VEGAS NEVADA, THIS VEHICLE OVERHEATS AND SHUTS THE AIR CONDITIONER OFF WHEN IT REACHES 75% ON THE TEMPERATURE GAGE. ANYTIME THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 100+ DEGREES THE CAR WILL REACH 75% WHILE DRIVING IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES, IF THE CAR IS STATIONARY IT'LL GET THERE IN ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES. HYUNDAI MANUFACTURING HAS SAID THAT THIS IS DUE TO A SMALL RADIATOR AND A SMALL COOLING FAN BUT WILL CURRENTLY NOT REPAIR THESE ISSUES. MOST HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS WILL CLAIM THAT THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM OR THAT THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. THE PHOTOGRAPHS DEPICT THE TEMPERATURE RISING WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THE ONLY TIME THE TEMPERATURE WENT DOWN WAS WHEN I MANUALLY SHUT THE AC OFF.
