Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Hyundai Entourage

When approaching cross traffic on a busy state highway from a business parking lot at low speed, my 2007 Hyundai Entourage experienced a sudden unintentional acceleration (sua) and was unable to be stopped on dry pavement. Even though the foot brake was depressed with as much force as possible, the vehicle was slowed but still uncontrollably moved into cross traffic without my opportunity to stop and prepare for clear and safe entry onto the highway. The oncoming driver from the left, although not able to stop while sounding his horn, swerved to the left ahead of my vehicle thereby avoiding a broad-side collision with my vehicle. Speed limit on this straight section of road was 45 mph and my car was still moving straight ahead at a 'walking pace' but still unstoppable. My car narrowly missed colliding with the vehicle that was passing in front of me to avoid the broad-side collision. After the car passed in front of my vehicle, I had maybe 12 feet until hitting the guard rail unless I turned sharply left which I did. Once heading left on the highway in the proper lane, the sua ended on it own. The entire event was over in just seconds. Fortunately there were no collisions and no injuries. Nevertheless, this sua represent a dangerous safety concern which was reported to Hyundai USA.
