Modi Hyundai — Accident of Verna Car no. MH02DS3765

Address:

Mumbai City, Maharashtra

Dear Sir I have purchased Verna from your showroom and got delivery on 31.10.2014. I was travelling with my wife Mrs. Deepali R. Vora, who was driving the car, holding driving License B-7891, from Pune to Mumbai on 9th of March 2015 in afternoon. The Car was running at speed of 110 -120 km p/h. Suddenly the front left side tyre burst and the car lost control and turned to right side, crossed the right side road ( the road which goes towards Pune) and hit a tree and stopped. The whole incident took fraction of second and we were unable to understand and control the situation during the event. As the car was driving at 110-120 km speed it hit with great impact to the tree, and as we both were wearing seat belt, with god’s grace, we both were saved miraculously. After getting hit we checked and found that we got hurt on our knees. After accident I was shocked and I had following question in my mind: After accident I was shocked and I had following question in my mind: 1) The car is just 3 months old and all the tyres are in very much good condition and the car travelled only 1200 kms, and car was running on moderate speed of 110-120 km, than WHY the TYRE BURST? 2) As we were going for long drive we have checked the tyre and found that the tyres have adequate air. 3) We both were wearing seat belts at the time of accident and when the car hit the tree from front engine side, it was running at good speed, so naturally the impact was sufficient enough to activate the driver side air bags for the protection. 4) But both the airbags didn’t opened. 5) We have taken the higher end model not for functions or gizmos, but for safety in our mind, so non performance of frontal air bags is quiet shocking to us. 6) We have expected good quality product from Korean manufacture but this incident has raised many questions about the safety of the car. The accident may have resulted in loss of life and we are in utter shock. You are requested to send me detailed reply about the questions I raised and it would be highly appreciated if we meet in person in coming days.
