The first time I was about 30 feet away when my son and husband started screaming for me.  The car we rolling across the parking lot.  I tried to jump in and hit the brake but was unsuccessful and we slammed into a flag pole. The dealer ran a code reader on it and there was no codes so they denied responsibility. Basically called me a liar   [XXX] it happened again In McDonald's drive thru The window lady witnessed it. I got out to.get my debit card and as I was leaning down the car rolled out of park snd started coasting away from me.  I again,  contacted my Hyundai who assigned another case manager.  This case manager promised to reimburse me for a rental I paid for the first time the car rolled away from me. The case worker had told me she set up an appointment at another local dealer and they would have a rental waiting on me the next morning I asked her to call amd confirm the appt and rental and to call me back  Never heard from her again After numerous calls and emails I recieved an email stating she could no longer assist me since I had obtained legal counsel.  Complete lie I never informed them that I had retained counsel.  I merely asked if I needed one. . This was their way of brushing me off for the 2nd time Myhyundai has record of me calling trying to gather a resolution at least 30 xs. I have contacted the attorney general's office who reached out to my dealer and my dealer told them they followed protocol and found no issue that would be a warranty issue  Of course they aren't wanting to admit that this is issue because this one case could cost millions in recalls.  Now there are more and more people that have had the same experience and I fear there will be death before this is addressed.  Please help !!
