Narrative

The contact's mother owned a 2021 Genesis GV80. The contact stated that while her mother was driving into a parking space at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration. The vehicle drove over a field and into oncoming traffic before crashing into another vehicle. No warning light was illuminated. Only the front driver's side air bag was deployed. A police report was filed. The contact's mother later received medical attention for injuries sustained to her ribs, left shoulder, and neck, as well as hearing loss in the left ear. The vehicle was towed to a body shop; however, it was not yet deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 17,500.
