I'm requesting the federal safety agency to investigate failures of several systems of hyundai elantra 2010: simultaneously failed/unresponsive braking, lurching/acceleration despite trying to push brake pedal, &failed power steering causing unsafe situation and accident in which air bags also failed to deploy despite 2 impacts to front end but form only allowed 3 parts of car affected. My husband pulled out of our garage front first @approx. 1-2 MPH. When he tried to brake at end of driveway/check for oncoming traffic before entering road to park in front of our house. Brakes &power steering failed simultaneously as car lurched/accelerated forward. Car hit a van driving by &our vehicle bounced back into pole which sent car on sidewalk. Car continued to accelerate/lurch forward on sidewalk despite his foot on brakes. He continued to try to brake &steer but neither worked. Car hit neighbors wall/garage &car stopped. Just missed hitting a parent/child walking by. Air bags didn't deploy during either impact police came after accident. Didn't fill out report bc at time he he felt ok except for shaken up. He was in shock &does have pain& loss of mobility to neck/back. He's seeking treatment. It was in front of our house and a clear/dry day. No floor mats/anything were stuck under either pedal.

Due to inclement weather, this vehicle ran into the back of another vehicle at approximately 40mph and the airbag did not deploy. Why? The driver of this vehicle was slammed into the steering with such violent force, her sternum was fractured and her heart muscle bruised. Hyundai does not appear on the takata recall list.

Airbags did not deploy in a head-on collision. Another driver was travelling too fast on snow and slid into my lane while I was traveling in the opposite direction. His airbag deployed, mine did not. This was a 6 airbag system, with no passengers in car. I need assistance pulling out the event data recorder and crash data before this car is salvaged so we can get hyundai to recall this system.
