1 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 06/09/2019

My wife came home an told me that the car had accelerated on it's own. I took it for a drive after she had shut it off, and found no problems. This happened several months ago, and she took it to the local dealer, and they could not find a problem. This pass weekend the same thing happened to me. I even drove up a hill to see if it would keep on accelerating, and it did. I had to pull over to the side of the road and turn the car off. When I restarted, it worked normally. The cruise control was off.

2 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 07/07/2013

I had 2 accidents on 7/7/2013. One low speed rear end collision with a Mini-van. The other was a high speed rear end collision with large RV. Both times I had the cruise control engaged, and could not stop the vehicle using the car's brake pedal system. I was eventually taken to an er, then admitted to an icu ward. I sustained a concussion, bruises, and abrasions. Most of what happened in the high speed collision are of temporary moments of memories due to the concussion and loss of consciousness. I am quite upset to have gone through these accidents with a new 2013 Hyundai Genesis that was rented from enterprise rental car from logan airport in boston mass. There was no airbag deployment in either accident. Car was towed away and do not currently know the VIN of the vehicle that I am reporting.

3 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 07/07/2013

While traveling at the posted highway speed I had the cruise control engaged when suddenly the car lurched, then surged. I started/tried to use the brakes to slow the car. That didn't work. I tried to disengage the cruise control. . . That didn't work. . . . Car kept speeding up till I hit a massive RV at 90mph. I was knocked unconscious, taken by ambulance to a trauma center, and later learned that none of the many airbags that this car had did not deploy. I am truly blessed having survived this accident. There needs to be better vehicles with better working systems to protect us. I will not rent another Hyundai ever again!!.
