My vehicle was parked on the hill of our driveway with the emergency brake on as usual. The gear shift clearly came out of park and into reverse due to a malfunction based on the following events: while getting out of my vehicle like usual to get my kids out and in the house, my truck rolled back while I had my four year old in my hand and my two year old still in his car seat. I was 26 weeks pregnant, and my son and I both got hurt in the process.
Headlights flash/flicker and/or turn off for a few seconds when right turn indicator is activated while headlight switch is in the "on" position. At times headlights stay out until turn indicator is deactivated. Vehicle does not have to be moving. Rarely replicated on purpose for verification.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 hyundai veracruz. While driving at approximately 50 MPH, all of the warning indicators on the instrument panel illuminated. The accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to accelerate above 30 MPH. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that oil was leaking on the alternator and it needed to be replaced.
