ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, (MY CAR WAS STILL OFF), AS I WENT OUTSIDE TO TALK TO MY FAMILY OUTSIDE WHICH WE HAPPENED TO BE ONLY ABOUT 15 FEET OF WHERE MY CAR WAS PARKED AND STILL THE ENGINE WAS OFF! THE NEXT THING TO MY SURPRISE AND DISMAY, MY CAR ENGINE STARTED UP ALL BY ITS SELF!!!??? I HAVE 2 FAMILY WITNESS VERIFYING MY ENGINE WAS IN FACT RUNNING AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT! I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS HAPPENING AGAIN ESPECIALLY IF IT DID IT ONCE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS NOT AROUND MY FOR 2 - UNKNOWN LONG HOURS! IT IS VERY UNSETTLING TO KNOW MY ENGINE STARS ON IT'S OWN AND WILL IT GO INTO REVERSE OR FORWARD AND KILL SOMEONE!!?? PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ASAP.

DRIVING ON THE NORTHBOUND 3-LANE SECTION OF I-75, I MOVED FROM CENTER LANE WHERE I WAS BEHIND A HUGE SEMI TRUCK THAT BLOCKED VISION AHEAD, SO I MOVED INTO THE LEFT LANE WHEN ALL TRAFFIC HAD PASSED AND IT WAS CLEAR. THEN IMMEDIATELY AHEAD AT APPROXIMATELY 5 CAR LENGTHS FROM ME IN LEFT LANE, A LARGE SUV HAD STOPPED DEAD IN THAT LEFT LANE OF INTERSTATE ALONG WITH OTHER VEHICLES AHEAD OF HIM. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER AVAILABLE, JUST CONTINUOUS CONCRETE JERSEY RAIL, AND NO OPENING ON MY RIGHT TO GO TO. ALTHOUGH I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES AND PRESSED THEM AS HARD AS POSSIBLE, MY 2017 HYUNDAI IONIC HYBRID CAR DID NOT STOP, ITS AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, THE SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK LEAVING ENOUGH SLACK THAT MY CHIN AND CHEST SLAMMED INTO STEERING WHEEL AS I RAN INTO REAR OF THE STOPPED SUV CAUSING HIM TO RUN INTO SUV IN FRONT OF HIM. THEIR AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, MINE DID NOT. ALTHOUGH THE FAULT WAS ENTIRELY MINE IN TERMS OF STRIKING THE FIRST CAR, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY IONIQ DIDN'T STOP BETTER OR WHY MY AIRBAG DIDN'T PREVENT ME FROM STRIKING THE STEERING WHEEL. I DID TELL THE HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER THAT I HAD STRUCK MY CHEST AND CHIN QUITE HARD ON THE STEERING WHEEL, BUT HAD NO EXTERNAL INJURIES. THE UPSET AND REGRET OVER THE INCIDENT WAS ENOUGH TO PUT THOSE QUESTIONS OUT OF MY MIND FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS, UNTIL TODAY FRIDAY 6/21/19 WHEN I WENT TO THE AUTO COLLISION REPAIR CENTER AND SPOKE TO THE MANAGER. HE TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD REPORT THE SITUATION WITH THE SEAT BELT, AIRBAG AND ABS BRAKES NOT PERFORMING AS THEY SHOULD, AND MAKE HYUNDAI AWARE OF IT AS WELL, AND HE PROVIDED ME THE NHTSA INFORMATION. I ALSO TEXTED THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE I LEASED THIS VEHICLE TO ADVISE HIM OF WHAT HAPPENED. HE HAS NOT YET RESPONDED. THUS THIS REPORT.

HAD REQUIRED RECALL (#178) FOR A PRA TO BE REPLACED PERFORMED 4/6/19, UPON DRIVING IT NOTICED ELECTRONIC, ACID SMELL THAT WENT AWAY. TODAY (4/7/19), UPON DRIVING IT, THE CAR'S CABIN FILLED WITH SMOKE THAT WAS COMING FROM THE REAR SEAT. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF, REMOVED AS MUCH ITEMS FROM THE CAR AS POSSIBLE AND CALLED MY WIFE, 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AT HOME TO BRING A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. UPON HER ARRIVING ROUGHLY 5 MINS LATER, FLAMES BEGAN EMERGING FROM THE BACKSEAT, WHICH I QUICKLY EXTINGUISHED AND PROCEEDED TO CALL 9-1-1. UPON THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVING, FLAMES WERE STILL EMERGING AND STILL SMOKING UNTIL THEY WERE ABLE TO DOUSE IT WITH WATER, FLAME RETARDANT, AND ALSO DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES TO PREVENT FUTURE DAMAGE. THE CAR WAS EVENTUALLY TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW AWAITING.

WE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL (A NOTICE, THEN AN INSTRUCTION TO FIX, APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS APART) REGARDING AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION UNDER THE REAR SEAT. THIS FAULT MAY LEAD TO FIRES AND WE WERE TOLD TO CONTACT ANY FACILITY IMMEDIATELY TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR THAT WOULD TAKE LESS THAN 30 MINUTES. AT LEAST 5 TIMES ACROSS MULTIPLE DAYS AND THROUGH MULTIPLE TECHNOLOGIES, WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AT 4960 NORTH, FL-7, COCONUT CREEK, FL 33073 (COCOUNUT CREEK HYUNDAI) WHERE WE ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE CAR. THEY REFUSED TO RESPOND TO US AND SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. NEVERTHELESS, WE STILL VISITED PHYSICALLY IN PERSON ON 3/16. AFTER KEEPING OUR CAR FOR NEARLY 8 HOURS THEY CLAIMED NO TECHNICIAN WAS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR OUR CAR THAT DAY! THEY NEVER AGREED TO SCHEDULE THE LEGALLY REQUIRED REPAIRS AS WE REQUESTED MANY TIMES IN ADVANCE AND EVEN HELD OUR CAR HOSTAGE AND REFUSED TO REPAIR IT! THEY HAVE VIOLATED THE LAW AND PUT OUR LIVES AT RISK. THEY MUST BE PUNISHED AND WE MUST BE COMPENSATED FOR THIS BARBARIC TREATMENT AT THE HANDS OF HYUNDAI. OUR CAR IS STILL AT RISK OF EXPLOSION AND HYUNDAI REFUSES TO FIX IT.
