Accelerator Pedal Problems of Hyundai Accent

I rented a Hyundai Accent, brand new on 1/13/08 in sint maarten,na for 4 weeks from ace[panoramic] rent a car contract number 589zbb971. On 2/7/08 I arrived at my timeshare, the atrium on billy foley road at approximately 9:45 pm and stopped the car to get out and use a key to open the garage crossbar before entering. I got back in the car and put the car in the drive gear and with my foot still on the brake, the car took off speeding up even as I continued to press the brake down to the floor. I made a quick turn and hit a cement abutment injuring myself and my wife. It is the most horrifying experience of my life. Fortunately we are not critically hurt but my wife's chest injury in very painful. We went to a st martin clinic and the doctor said we are ok to go home to NY and we did on 2/9/08. The atrium has a camera in the garage and saw the entire episode. I have asked them to provide a copy to the car rental agency and also to me. It is important for you to inform Hyundai of what happened and in checking the internet, I notice others complaining of the car speeding up on its own.

When accelerating at different speeds and times, the gas pedal sticks to the floor, which means the car continues to accelerate. It does not stop until the brake pedal is depressed and then the gas pedal releases. This has happened several times over the past three months. Have had the dealer check it but they say they can't find the problem, so no action is taken. It continues to occur, however.

The motor over-accelerates even when the gas pedal is not pressed. This once caused my vehicle to move forward from a stopped position without my pressing the accelerator. It was a very dangerous situation considering the fact that I was at a stop light. * cb.
