Back in March my landlord lost his keys then Someone started to enter my unit illegally I filed numerous police reports to ensure safety for me and my two small children but wasn’t taken serious was forced and admitted into the hospital for trying to protect me and my children losing custody as well and my car was left parked on a city street, my house possessions were all damaged as well and I believe a rodent or someone left the windows down purposely for a rodent to gain entrance to my vehicle and living area as well, my vehicle tires kept needing repairs the interior had some kind of infestation and something was wrong with the ventilation system in the car and I didn’t feel safe driving the vehicle nor did I feel that the vehicle was worth the 413 monthly payments which I never missed payments on up until this incident. I tried to go through my car insurance company and local Hyundai dealer for a replacement of my vehicle and nothing was done to protect my safety or health also my banking information was compromised and I lost financial control and was unable to make payments for the last two months because of this I reached out to Santander consumer which is my finance company to express my concerns and they was unable to stop the repossession, I feel horribly scammed and is wondering if there is anything that can be done to stop me from further loss if anything is needed further feel free to contact me

ON THREE OCCASIONS NOW, I HAVE NEARLY HIT A PEDESTRIAN IN A CROSSWALK, BECAUSE I DID NOT SEE THAT PEDESTRIAN. ALL THREE WERE HIDDEN FROM MY VIEW BY A COMBINATION OF THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR AND THE FRAME OF THE CAR ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. TOGETHER, THE PLACEMENT OF THESE TWO FEATURES CREATES A SURPRISINGLY LARGE BLIND SPOT. I THINK IT IS PARTLY RELATED TO THE FACT THAT THE SEATS IN THE CAR ALSO CANNOT BE RAISED ENOUGH; I HAVE GOOD FRONT VISIBILITY, BUT IF I COULD GET HIGHER I DO THINK THE MIRROR MIGHT BE LESS OF AN OBSTACLE. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, I LEARN A NEW TYPE OF SITUATION IN WHICH I MUST NOT TRUST WHAT I SEE, BUT I WORRY ABOUT UNANTICIPATED SITUATIONS IN THE FUTURE.

I PULLED UP ON THE HANDLE TO ADJUST THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK. WHEN I RAISED THE LEVER, IT BROKE OFF IN MY HAND AND THE SEAT BACK WENT FLYING BACKWARD. HAD THIS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED/KILLED IN A COLLISION, AS I WAS NO LONGER SECURED BY THE SEAT BELT AND UNABLE TO SEE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE (SEAT LAID COMPLETELY BACK). *TR
