 I was driving on the highway and went to accerate around another vehicle. the gas peddle was stuck full open even after letting off the gas. i made sure it was not the carpet holding the peddle down. the enginge rpm's was revving very high also as the car kept accelerating out of control. after approximately 15-20 seconds the peddle released and everything was fine. the first occurance was sep. 2012 and i've had a second occurance on march 2013.

 I made a right turn onto my driveway using light acceleration (12 mph) to gently overcome the upward slope as i do normally. the car responded well. as i was pulling into my garage (the last 5-7 feet), i applied light pressure the accelerator to ease into my space and the car surged. during the surge, i applied as much force as i could slamming both feet (one on top of the other) on the brake, but the car responded too late. i had collided with the garage wall. there was front-end and dry-wall damage. after reviewing some reviews for my model car on edmunds.com, i realized the uncontrollable surge is a common complaint about this model suv, which does not seem to be addressed by the company or dealers. therefore, i have decided to file this complaint in hopes that hyundai will investigate this situation and figure out a way to remedy these surges and keep their customers safe.

 On march 11, 2011 i parked my 2009 hyundai santa fe in my driveway. as i was geting out of the vehicle it started to move. it dragged me down my driveway and as i was trying to get back into the vehicle i banged my right knee on the the steering wheel and it turned and went down a hill and hit a tree with me still hanging half out of the vehicle. i broke my right tibia bone. i also have never had a ticket or an accident before in life. very scary. did anyone else have a problem like this??

 2009 hyundai santa fe accelerated on its own & could not be stopped until i put it in neutral & shut off the engine. this happened twice in two days. the first time this happened on the turnpike, the car accelerated to over 100mph before i put it in neutral but the rpms continued to rise until i shut down the engine. applying the brakes did not help because the car was accelerating at too high a rate of speed. after turning off the engine, the car was difficult to steer & it was difficult to apply the brakes because of the loss of power to those systems causing an addition hazard.
