Car Accelerates On Its Own problems of the 2016 Hyundai Elantra

This has happened numerus times, whether on highway's or city streets. Driving the car you will feel it lurch forward accelerating suddenly and then return to normal driving. The rpms will be at 4000 to 5000 each time. The other day on the way home from a family christmas party with my 2 girls and husband, I had the cruse control set. It suddenly revved up to 4000 rpms on a curved hilly road. This happened at 1am. No other cars where around. My then 16 year old daughter was driving the car to get her drivers license it did it with the instructor in the car. The instructor has her stop and get another car for the test. She said that this was a safety issue with the car and could not continue the test. We had only had the car at that time for 6 months. We purchased the car new with only 6 miles on it. I am now seeing all the complaints on this issue with this car and several other of Hyundai car makes and modules on the internet. Just search Hyundai cars surging while driving and you can see for your self. They must be waiting on a fatality before they make a recall.

On more than one occasion when accelerating from a stopped position, the car will lurch forward when pressing the gas, but not equal to the depression of the accelerator pedal. I bought this car 8 months ago and it has happened many times. One incident I believe when this happened caused me to damage personal property. Inwas stopped behind a car waiting to get to a gate key pad. When I started to pull forward the car suddenly accelerated and I hit the key pad, ran over it! this sudden acceleration is not typically a hazard when on the open road, obviously this was an issue with a solid object in front of me.
