THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN MY AUTO, WHICH MANIFEST ITSELF WHEN I SWITCH ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD COME ON NORMALLY, BUT INSIDE THE CABIN THE DASHBOARD AND ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS WOULD START BLINKING ON/OFF LIKE THE HAZARD LIGHT. THE POWER DOOR LOCKS WOULD ALSO COME UNLOCK AND WHEN I CHECKED ON THE EXTERNAL LIGHTS, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD BE STEADY, BUT THE INDICATOR (AMBER) LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD BE BLINKING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE AS THEY SAY, THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES SHOWING FOR ELECTRICAL FAULTS. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, AS I PRESSED ON ACCELERATOR, I FELT IT GO DOWN UNDER MY FOOT, THUS HITING THE RIGHT REAR BUMPER OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME. THE SECOND TIME HAPPENED IN JANUARY. 2012. I WAS TURNING INTO MY PARKING SPOT, AND I HAD SOFTLY BRAKED. AND AS I PRESSED ON THE ACCELEATOR, AND LIKE THE FIRST TIME, I FELT THE ACCELERATOR GO DOWN BENEATH MY FOOT, WITHOUT PRESSING TOO HARD. I RAN INTO MY APARTMENT, AND CAUSED A GOOD DEAL OF DAMAGE TO IT.AS WELL AS MY CAR. I HAVE NOT HAD AN INCIDENT SINCE, BUT I REMAIN SCARED THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I TOOK VEHICLE TO OXMOOR HYUNDAI, IN LOUISVILLE, AND COULD NOT FIND FIND ANYTHING WRONG, AND I HAD TO PAY JUST UNDER $100.00 TO TELL ME THIS. AND MY AUTO INSURANCE WENT UP DRASTICALLY. *JS

I DON'T HAVE VIN ON HAND. WHEN I GO FOR GAS EVERYTIME, THE GAS CLICKS OFF AND GAS POURS ONTO GROUND. IF I HOLD THE LEVER TO STUDY THE FLOW IT STILL SPILLS. CALLED HYUNDAI, THEY DENY THIS PROBLEM. TALKED TO MANY OWNERS ALL HAVE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A HAZARD TO THE ENVIRONMENT. GAS ON GROUND. PLUS THE GAS REMAINS ON THE FENDER. IF THERE WAS TO BE A CIGARETTE THROWN OUT OF ANOTHER MOVING CAR OR SPARK THE CAR WOULD EXPLODE. I THINK IT IS TIME THAT HYUNDAI TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DO A RECALL. THEIR CONTENTION IS TO WAIT TIL I BLOW UP ON FIRE BEFORE THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. EVEN THEN THEY WOULD DENY THE PROBLEM. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO THE CHROME PLATING ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES STARTED TO PEEL OFF, RESULTING IN HAZARDOUS SHARP EDGES BEING FORMED. SINCE THEN IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE AND EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS RECEIVED AT LEAST ONE CUT OR LACERATION FROM THESE SHARP EDGES. YESTERDAY (03/02/2014) AS I WAS GETTING OUT OF MY VEHICLE I RECEIVED A CUT ON MY HAND ABOUT AN INCH LONG AND A QUARTER INCH DEEP. IT REQUIRED STITCHES TO CLOSE THE OPEN WOUND.I KNOW THAT HYUNDAI HAS ISSUED RECALLS FOR THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM ON THEIR 2003-2004 MODELS. CLEARLY MY 2005 NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. *TR
