Car Accelerates On Its Own problems of the 2008 Hyundai Sonata

While passing a vehicle traveling approximately 40 mph in a 50mph zone, my 2008 Hyundai Sonata experienced �sudden unintended acceleration� approaching a speed of 65-70 mph. Even after applying firm continuous pressure on brake pedal was unable to slow vehicle down. While continuing to apply pressure to brake pedal, I shifted automatic gear shift into neutral and was able to gradually coast onto the shoulder of the road. When vehicle came to a complete stop. The engine was still running at a very high rpm and sounded as if it were a jet airplane taking off. Turned ignition off and let car sit for 1-2 minutes while I contemplated �now what?� was unable to put car in park, so started car in neutral. Was able to move gear shift to drive and carefully drove car home. Called Hyundai corporate office next morning (Monday August 31, 2020) to report my frightening and very dangerous experience. Then called my local Hyundai dealer to report and request they come and pick the vehicle up as I did not feel it was safe to drive.

On two separate occasions, the vehicle accelerated with no warning. The first occurred sat September 30. I filled my car with gas and was pulling into a parking place when the vehicle accelerated without warning causing the vehicle to almost crash through a restaurant wall. The second was October 14, when I pulled into my garage, I put my foot on the brake to stop and with my foot on the brake, the car unexpectedly accelerated and hit my freezer. I read several articles on the internet where this is not a rare occurrence.
