general problems of the 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe

My 2002 2. 7 Santa Fe reved way up spontaneously tonight. I banged gas pedal repeatedly with foot but did nothing. As I approached stoplight brakes would hardly stop the car; shifted to neutral, rpms went way up and I turned off car. Continued my 1 mile trip home and engine would by itself rev down only to immediately rev way back up. Could smell my brakes burning by the time I got home. What ever is going on here is very dangerous.

Tl- the contact owns a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that while traveling 25 mph the vehicle accelerated unexpectantly. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 121,000. Pmb.

While I stopped at a red light my vehicle stalled which this has occurred several times previously. I turned the car odd and on again and proceeded to turn at the light and the car stalled again in the middle of this busy intersection, I turned it off again and back and began to drive up a small incline. I pressed on the gas pedal and it did ont feel as if were speeding up, all of a sudden I began to accelerate and I pressed the brake and it continued to go faster. My destination was coming up, and there was a lot of traffic ahead of me. In fear of speeding up any faster and having a collision with my 5,1 1/2, and 11 month old in the back seat. I turned into a parking lot and put on my emergency brake which caused me to spin out of control and luckily run sideways into a bank of snow. The vehicle continued to accelerate while the car was in park and the emergency brake was on. I turned the key off and the vehicle stopped. My driver side was up on a pile of snow tilted and I had to get all of my babies out of the passenger side door. I don't ever want to put my kids in that car again and they say they never heard of this at the dealership but I have seen plenty of complaints on line. This was the one of the worse feelings I ever had I really just feared for my children and with all the complaints I have read on line about this I think this is a dangerous situation.
