[Resolved]  Hyundai i10 Abs Asta — Near Fatal Accident due to Malfunction in i10

Address:

Karnataka

I am a victim of mechanical failure of i-10. Couple of weeks back I was driving on Bangalore-sarjapur ,I just wanted to avoid unlevel edge of the road so slightly turned my steering towards right, at that moment my steering took sudden right and I could not steer back my vehicle. The vehicle went out of control and did not stop as brake also did not respond inspite applying fully. The vehicle crossover to the otherside of the road and fell upside down in 4-5 feet trench. I was trapped inside the car and tried opening the vehicle but unfortunately it got jammed. I was scared to death for any explosion, the local people came to rescue and I could come out of the car. Seat belt and air-bag were my life saver. During this whole accident my i-10 car got fully damaged. This has been reported in local police station.
When reported about the EPS malfunction with service centre, they completely denied of any malfunction. I had written to Mr. H.W Park, MD CEO , although I got answer from their customer Care but no convincing answer for addressing EPS malfunction and mechanical failure in i-10s. As a survivor of the accident resulted due to malfunction of the i-10, I feel it is my responsibility to make people aware o[censored]nderlying malfunctions in i-10. If my accident was fatal nobody would have known about the accident and as any other accident would have blamed the driver. In my 22 years of driving motorised vehicle, I had never faced any malfunction, this one could have been disaster.
Who, if not Mr. Park would take the responsibility of such malfunctions and the accident resulting. People are putting hardcore earn money to buy i-10 which they never know can give them such a horrifying experience. I urge people who are reading this post to make their family and friend aware of this malfunction in i10 and discourage them to buy/drive this death vehicle. In response to my complain, Hyundai has conveniently denied from any malfunction as vehicle is fully damaged.
It is very unfortunate that even I after knowing the underlying facts on these malfunctions in i-10, Hyundai is keeping quite and keep doing business and playing with human lives. I wish I had read the online reports before buying i-10. If accident could have been fatal if any oncoming traffic hit my vehicle, nobody could have replaced me for my two small children and family.
This malfunction in i-10 should be made available to common people so that they can be saved from such accidents. Life once lost can not be compensated.
