| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This is an update of my previous reported found on your odi number 10118222. my car accelerated when i applied the brakes to my 2004 hyundai xg350. this car and many other hyundai models use a drive- by- wire system. i have found over 300 similar complaints on companies that use drive- by- wire. these cars are defective products and include 2002-2005 hyundai, kia, toyota,and mitsubishi. in my case two different hyundai engineers could not find the problem. an independent inspector can prove i had my foot on the brake and not the gas pedal when trying to stop, but no luck. some injuries have already been reported and perhaps there have been people killed who can not report their accident. there were 3 people killed in my area driving hyundai cars. the report in our news paper of the accident read as if the sudden acceleration problem caused the accidents. i am requesting that you open up an investigation on hyundai cars that accelerate when braking. also if at all possible the investigation should include all car manufacturers that use drive- by- wire systems. these cars are safety issues and there are enough complaints to prove it. the cars are potential bombs and a danger to passengers in the car and other cars on the road. some action must be taken to prevent additional injuries and possible deaths from these cars. *jb |
