I had 2 accidents in the same week. First one was Monday 2-20-2023. Leaving work heading home, I was at a red light. The light turned green and the car in front proceeded to go. As I hit the accelerator, my car ran into the back of a car full speed. Every attempt to stop car and was unsuccessful. I called to make appt at dealership to have car inspected. Before I could get to said appt at dealership, a very similar incident happened again 2 days later as I was pulling into parking lot of work. Pulling into parking spot, my car continued to accelerate into the building. Again, attempted to stop but was unsuccessful. I suffered mild concussion from hitting head on steering wheel. Air bags DID NOT deploy. No warning from car until impact happened. Was taken to hospital via ambulance for further examination.

I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MONTHS. DURING THIS TIME, I HAVE BEEN IN TWO MAJOR ACCIDENTS. THE FIRST INCIDENT INVOLVED AN 18 WHEELER ON A HOUSTON FREEWAY THAT SIDESWIPED THE PASSENGER SIDE FROM THE FRONT TO THE REAR RIM, WHICH EXPLODED AND I WAS TURNED THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND TRAVELED ACROSS 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC. APPROXIMATELY $12K IN DAMAGE WITH NO SIDE CURTAIN DEPLOYMENT. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION WITH NO FOLLOW-UP. THE 2ND INCIDENT WAS IN DECEMBER AND I HIT A DEER RUNNING ACROSS THE ROAD. IT WAS A SQUARE HIT WITH ME GOING FROM 65 TO 0 AND THE DEER RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE CAR. AS OF TODAY, THE DAMAGE IS ALL LOCATED IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, AND AGAIN, NO AIR BAG DEPLOYED, WITH A TOTAL REPAIR BILL OF $13.8K. THIS TIME I CONTACTED GENESIS AS THE CAR DIDN'T SEEM SAFE. I WAS ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER, WHO HAD THE BODY SHOP STOP ALL REPAIRS. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST 6 WEEKS BEFORE AN INVESTIGATION COULD BE COMPLETED. DURING THIS TIME, I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. I WASN'T EVEN OFFERED A LOANER. I HAVE NEVER MISSED A PAYMENT, EVEN AFTER BEING CHARGED FOR TWO TYPES OF WARRANTIES AND WHEN I TRIED TO USE IT, I WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T EXIST. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO EXPLAIN THE $9K CHARGE ON THE BILL OF SALE, WHICH WAS TO BE THE CHARGE FOR THE TWO WARRANTIES. IF THE CAR'S SAFETY FEATURES DON'T WORK, I CAN NOT DRIVE THE CAR.
