general problems of the 2008 Hyundai Sonata

I put the car in reverse while parked in a parking lot, when I put the car in reverse, the car took off at a high rate of speed striking one vehicle and continued at a high speed in reverse about 20 or 30 feet also hitting a return cart station, knocking it over and the car still proceeded to crash into a large parked pickup truck causing significant damage to the truck and also my vehicle. The brakes would not stop the car. The car finally stopped after the hard impact with the truck. My car has been deemed a total by my insurance.

Today my abs light went on and the brakes became rock hard could not press down on them. Then I parked the car checked all fluids and belts, turned the car on again the abs light turned off. Started to drive tried accelerating from 25mph to 30mph then esc light went on locked my breaks tried driving to park in a safe place as soon as I parked the car and turned it off a bad smell and lots of smoke came out of my front tires and rear tires. Got car towed breaks are ok my mechanic pressed the esc button off and now breaks are soft. I believe there is a malfunction that you should look into that will cause a recall. Also tpms light randomly goes on and off. Tire pressure again is fine. Please consider looking into this. It's the only car we've had for about 9 years and now my daughter drives it to school. Safety please!! thank you, dalia.

I tps was on it was -12° outside I was making a left turn at a low speed and I I tried to turn because ahead of me were 2 cars the car did not wanted to break or slowdown. I try to. Hrwk but the car was accelerating it did not want to stop. I had to turn my hazard light on as soon that I felt the car not wanting to stop. I notice the rim was going high even though I was trying to. Break. I had to pull to the side of the road tried to. Put on the emergency break but the car didn't want to. Stop so I can put on break. I had to keep. Pulling on the emergency break finally it stop I put it on p. Turned the car off waited 5 minutes to turn the car back on and it seems fine now. But I was really scared what if I was was on the express way going fast and can't break. Ever since that day I been driving really slow and cautious.

After slowing down around a corner and slowing down to park, my engine surged and the car jumped a 6" curb and was stopped by a large bush. I also had my brake down. This occurred on the university of notre dame campus and was reported to notre dame security.
