The brake pedal and accelerator pedal are so close together as to interfere with each other. Specifically, as one comes to a stop, the brake pedal is so close to the accelerator both laterally and vertically, that the operators foot may hit both pedals at the same time just before coming to a stop, causing an unintended sudden acceleration. This is a significant safety issue for the driver, occupants, pedestrians and other vehicles or items in the path of the car. I have has 4 such incidents, one involving a rear end bump. The Hyundai dealer inspected the car for sudden acceleration and found nothing and dismissed the concern. Hyundai custom,er care representative erin thompson stated " I did not design the car, it operates as designed and there is nothing I can do for you".
