Cruise Control problems of the 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe

The contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that while driving 70 mph with the cruise control activated, the brake pedal was depressed however, the vehicle unintendedly accelerated without warning. The vehicle was towed to Hyundai of new port richey located at 3936 us-19, new port richey, FL 34652, (727) 477-8644, where an unknown repair was performed however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was informed of failure. The failure mileage was 79,053.

While getting onto the highway from the on ramp the car began to accelerate on its own. The gas pedal began to depress itself without me doing it. The cruise control was not engaged and the floor matt was not the cause. Braking was difficult and the engine continued to rev. I pulled off the highway and stopped the engine. After telling my family about the incident my daughter told me that it had occurred twice before in the same manner about 2 months ago.

Purchased 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe from herrnsteins Hyundai of chillicothe, OH. In January 2010. On two separate occasions; once in March, and once in June on 315 columbus, ohio. The first time it over accelerated I was attempting to pass another vehicle. I accelerated to pass and then was attempting to slow back down when I heard the engine rev and felt the vehicle speed up. I do not and did not use the cruise control. The breaks only slowed the vehicle I could not get it stopped. I did manage to shift into neutral and as the engine continued to rev, I turned the vehicle off. Upon restarting it was ok. The second time I was accelerating to merge, upon completion of the merge I attempted to let off the accelerator and slow down. Again the engine revved, and I felt the vehicle speeding up. I applied breaks forcefully like before the vehicle slowed a bit but sped back up I continued to break using both feet and the vehicle slowed and was then ok. We reported this to the dealership each time it occurred. Their response was that it did not show a code. After the second event herrnsteins has shown concern and realizes their is a problem. However the hyuandi corp. Has taken the stance with us that they do not have a problem with sua in their vehicles and that ours is safe to drive. I suppose because I did not get killed or kill someone else that I can not prove it happened.
