4 Steering problem

Failure Date: 10/20/2014

I was driving at 35 mph in the lane, the car on the left lane hit the rear body and tire of driver side, but the car didn't stop even after the impact. After the collision, I pressed very hard on the break pedal to stop, but it kept moving, even increased its speed up to 60 mph, and turned into the different direction. Also the wheel was stuck by itself and I was not able to turn anywhere with my hands. It went off the opposite side of the road without any control. 20 years old Toyota camry was able to stop at the spot of collision, but Hyundai Genesis couldn't. The wheel and the break were both stuck and unable to be controlled and crashed into the electric pole. The air bag was deployed, and Hyundai Genesis was totaled. In 2014, the break recall service was received two times from the dealer. There must be the mechanical failure in the break, speed control, and the wheel which caused this total loss. I was injured and taken by the ambulance later. I never had any accidents like this before with any other cars!.

7 Steering problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2011

I've purchased 2011 Genesis Dec 2010 that I brought back to the dealer the day after I purchased it for pulling to the left. They have realigned it several times I have been back 5 times in this the first month of ownership. Each time the dealer agreed that it pulled to the left. However the reason for the pulling varied. Some which were that they have tried telling me it was the crown of the road, the air pressure in one tire was 1 lb. Low and my personal favorite is the only way cars become misaligned is that the driver is hitting potholes, all of which have caused my car to pull to the left never the right. Each time they have had to do an alignment. I currently pursuing legal readdress.
