2007 Hyundai Tiburon

This vehicle was in a hit-and-run accident on the highway. It hit the wall going 65mph and the airbags did not deploy causing me to have a spinal injury, bruised ribs, a cracked sternum, a concussion, and a fractured metatarsal. after the first collision, the car rolled back and hit the wall a second time which the airbags still did not deploy. It is totaled and in the hands of State Farm.

HARMONIC BALANCER SHEDDED CAUSING THE CAMSHAFT TO BREAK STALLING OUT WHILE TRYING TO ENTER A HIGHWAY RAMP.THE CAR JUST STOPPED WHILE PARTIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY AND RAMP TO ENTER CAUSING A CLOSE CALL FROM BEHIND.A CAR WAS SPEEDING UP TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO LOCK UP HIS BREAKS ALMOST SMASHING INTO ME AT A VERY HIGH SPEED THE A TRUCK NEARLY STRUCK ME ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO PREVENT CRASHING INTO ME AT 70 MPH. I HAD NO WARNING. NO SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT EVER WARNED ME OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR ,FORE I WOULD HAVE SERVICED IT IMMEDIATELY .I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT THE COMPUTER MAYBE WAS NOT SENDING THE CORRECT CODES TO THE WARNING INDICATORS. THIS WAS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM I ALMOST HAD A HIGH SPEED CRASH WITH SEVERAL VEHICLES CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I DID NOT TAKE ANY PICTURES I WAS TO SHAKEN UP AND NOBODY STOPPED TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION. I THEN FINALLY GOT THE CAR TO START AND LIMPED IT OF THE HIGHWAY AND THEN HOME AS I LIVED VERY CLOSE BY. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALER AND HAD MY CAR TOWED THERE AT MY OWN EXPENSE . THEN A FEW DAY'S LATER THE SERVICE DEPT. CALLED ME AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THEY COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NO WARNING OF ANY KIND INFORMED ME OF THE DANGER. THEY DID SAY IT WOULD COST ME $1,200.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF THE TOW $85.00 .MY CAR IS AT "RED MCCOMBS HYUNDAI N.W. 1366 IH-10 WEST SAN ANTONIO,TX. 78249 " (844)218-7288 WHERE IT WILL SET UNTIL THE MATTER IS DEALT WITH. I HAVE NO MONEY TO PAY FOR THE FIX . I AM ON DISABILITY AND A SENIOR CITIZEN AT 58 YR.'S OF AGE AND NEED MY CAR TO SEE MY DOCTORS
