1 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 02/03/2021

Car was in motion approaching an intersection at approximately 50 mph when some unidentified, unseen object crashed into the sliding panoramic roof. The result was a 12 x 8 inch hole and a spiderweb of cracks throughout the rest of the glass. Fortunately, the inside cover was closed and the driver was not injured. The object was not recovered. It will take 3-5 business days for the repair company to order and receive the replacement. The car is unusable till then.

2 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 02/02/2020

At highway speed the computer has attempted to pull the car out of the lane into the adjoining lane as if in attempt to avoid something. This is happened at highway speed's about six times. Vehicle also at one time applied the emergency brake as the vehicle is approaching an intersection as an emergency stop. The car would not move for several seconds. When I brought the vehicle into the Hyundai dealership the representative immediately suggested that there was a rodent problem. This was confirmed not to be the case. As there did not appear to be any other computer messaging the technician suggested that maybe it was the California fastrack responder unit. They suggested it be relocated which I did. The problem lies that you're not sure that this is what caused the problem and the suggestion �to drive it to see if it repeated� as it does not sound prudent from a safety perspective. The computer pulls at a hard level which makes it difficult to maintain the vehicle in the lane and it suddenly releases the pulling which jerks the car back into the driving lane much like an over correction. This is obviously quite dangerous and I would suggest something else is done to either confirm or disapprove the responder issue as these responders are common and it was placed per the instructions of the fastrack.

3 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 09/27/2019

I had rented a Hyundai sante fe in September 2019. I had the vehicle for a few weeks with no issues until I drove over the mountains. I had pulled into a parking lot and was looking to park, coasting through the parking lot, I then backed up and found a parking spot. I was turning right in at a very slow speed, a virtual crawl into a parking space when I pressed the brakes to stop the vehicle when it suddenly revs its engine and began accelerating out of control jumping over the front parking curb and slamming into a chain link fence. The brake was depressed to the floor and would not stop, I pumped the brakes to stop and when it would not stop, I quick slammed the vehicle into the park position to prevent the vehicle from hitting a tracker and causing further damage or injury. I contacted my insurance agent and then I contacted enterprise rental company in bend oregon. I was on hold for roughly 30 min. I explained the situation and they stated that there were no recalls they knew of and they advised me to contact their tow company and have it towed to the airport in redmond oregon to switch out the vehicles. I researched on my own and found that their was a similar incident in las vegas, nv reported in January 31st, 2018. This incident needs to be looked into before someone is seriously injured. The isg may be a contributing factor in this case.
