DEC 16, 2011 AROUND 9:45AM MY HUSBAND AND I HAD JUST PICKED MY SISTER AND BROTHER IN LAW UP FROM THE AIRPORT AND HAD DECIDED ON GRABBING SOME BREAKFAST FROM WAFFLE HOUSE. I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO TURN RIGHT INTO THE RESTAURANT PARKING LOT; I THEN DROVE ABOUT 15 FEET GOING MAYBE 5 MPH TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO THEN TURN RIGHT TO GET READY TO ENTER INTO THE PARKING SPOT. ONCE I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE BREAK (NOT NEEDING TO APPLY THE GAS AS MY PARKING WAS MAYBE 20 FEET TO MY RIGHT AND THE CAR SHOULD ACCELERATE AT A LOW SPEED ON ITS OWN) THE 2010 SANTA FE TOOK OFF AT AN ALARMING SPEED I PRESSED MY FOOT ALL WAY BACK DOWN ON THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP. I THEN LOOKED DOWN TO SEE IF MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE IT WAS DOWN TO THE FLOOR BOARD. THE SANTA FE WENT OVER THE PARKING SPOT AND INTO THE BUSHES THEN STOPPED ITSELF. THANK GOD BECAUSE THE ROAD WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BUSHES. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A VEHICLE DOING THIS? I THEN CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT HYUNDAI WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT ONLY HAPPENS TO TOYOTA THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT HAPPENING TO THEIR VEHICLES. MY HUSBAND AND I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE E-MAILED AND REVIEWED OF THE PHOTOS WITH MARK ODAT AND 2 OTHER MANAGERS SHOWING THE DAMAGE THAT ACCRUED WHILE GOING OVER THE CEMENT CURB. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WERE ANY DAMAGES UNDER MY CAR, I NOTICED SCRATCHES TO THE PAINT AND A BENT LICENSE PLATE (WHICH I BENT BACK INTO PLACE). I HAD BROUGHT MY SANTA FE UP TO THE DEALERSHIP BACK IN LATE AUGUST OR EARLY SEPTEMBER 2011 WITH A COMPLAINT AND SPOKE DIRECTLY TO THE SERVICE MANAGER JR THAT TWICE WHEN I WAS ON MY TRIP FROM HOUSTON, TX TO ATLANTA, GA WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL ONCE I TOUCHED THE BRAKE TO TURN THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF THE SANTA FE WOULD ACCELERATE INSTEAD OF DECELERATE AND THAT IT HAD A HARD TIME GOING UP HILLS. *TR

EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN JERKING OF SANTA FE 2010. DURING THE PAST MONTH OR SO, THIS PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED FEW TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED DURING THE WARM UP PERIOD. CAR WAS BROUGHT IN THE HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND IS BEING INVESTIGATED AND REPAIRED.

2001 HYUNDAI SANTA FE LURCHES WHEN GEAR IS PUT TO DRIVE, OR WHEN DRIVING AT LOW OR HIGH SPEEDS WHERE IT IS WORST (FEELING THAT WE JUST GOT REAR ENDED). STARTED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE, ABOUT 3 TO 4 YEARS AGO, AND WAS DIAGNOSED AND HAVE REPLACED THE INPUT/OUTPUT SPEED CONTROL BY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RAMPANT PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED SOON BECAUSE IT IS BIG SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
