| While i stopped at a red light my vehicle stalled which this has occurred several times previously. i turned the car odd and on again and proceeded to turn at the light and the car stalled again in the middle of this busy intersection, i turned it off again and back and began to drive up a small incline. i pressed on the gas pedal and it did ont feel as if were speeding up, all of a sudden i began to accelerate and i pressed the brake and it continued to go faster. my destination was coming up, and there was a lot of traffic ahead of me. in fear of speeding up any faster and having a collision with my 5,1 1/2, and 11 month old in the back seat. i turned into a parking lot and put on my emergency brake which caused me to spin out of control and luckily run sideways into a bank of snow. the vehicle continued to accelerate while the car was in park and the emergency brake was on. i turned the key off and the vehicle stopped. my driver side was up on a pile of snow tilted and i had to get all of my babies out of the passenger side door. i don't ever want to put my kids in that car again and they say they never heard of this at the dealership but i have seen plenty of complaints on line. this was the one of the worse feelings i ever had i really just feared for my children and with all the complaints i have read on line about this i think this is a dangerous situation. | |||

| I drive a 2002 hyundaid santa fe (engine 2.7l 6 cyl. this morning i pulled into a parking space and suddenly my car accelerated forward. i hit the brake yanked the emergency brake up and it stopped. i then backed it up since it was way overshot in the space. i called the dealer and they said to bring it in ,but explained in great length that hyundai's have a different throttle control system than toyota's and bmws. i don't really care that my system is configured differently. the fact that my problem occurred during the toyota crisis is circumstantial. my problem did occur though. and someone could've been hurt. the first time it happened was about 3 months ago, i was driving on a side road and going fairly slow (about 25 mph) when it all of a sudden accelerated. since this was the first time, i was disoriented and unsure if i had done something. i hit the brake, pulled over and stopped. now that it has happened again, i am very clear that it was an unintended sudden acceleration. i checked my floor mat and it is completely flat and secure. i'm having my husband drive it to the dealer. we'll see what they can find. *tr | |||

| In july 2009 and again in dec 2009 i experience sudden acceleration in my 2002 santa fe with the 2.7 v6 engine. i had about 92,000 miles on the odometer in july and about 95,000 in december. both times the sudden acceleration occurred while i was in manual mode. some refer to this as sport mode. i was driving in the mountains on pennsylvannia when these incidences occurred. the first time i was completely stopped in 1st gear. the car started to drifted into the ongoing traffic before i realized that the engine was accelerating. all this time i was pressing on the brake pedal as hard as i could and finally stopped about 10-15 into the oncoming traffic. luckily, no traffic approached during this incident. it hadn't happened again until i was in the mountains of pa again in dec 2009 in manual mode because of the hilly, icy road conditions at the time. the incident occurred while i was shifting between gears. my wife drives the car almost exclusively but never uses the manual mode however, when i drove in these two specific aforementioned incidences i was in manual mode on very hilly and windy road conditions. i am presently working with my hyundai service manager on several potential fixes to the problem. they are taking this seriously but have no definitive fix for the problem as yet. *tr | |||
