On April 13, 2012, July 18, 2012 and August 3, 2012, while making a slow turn into a parking area, my 2006 Hyundai Sonata suddenly accelerated uncontrollably for no reason. In each instance, an accident resulted with major damage to other property and major damage to the front end of the 2006 Sonata. My only guess , is there is something wrong with the vehicle's speed control.

I was driving into a parking space in a parking lot and came to a stop when the car suddenly accelerated, jumped a curb which was five inches high and five inches wide, smashed into a fence and came to rest on a scattered pile of bricks. I hurt my knee which hit the dashboard. This injury did not require hospitalization although I was in a state of shock. There was considerable damage to the car which is now in the body shop. It will take three weeks at least to repair the car. In the meantime I am driving a rental car. I believe this could be a case of unintended sudden acceleration caused by an electronic malfunction. I think this accident needs to be investigated thoroughly.

While operating my 2007 Hyundai Sonata, I experienced sudden unintended acceleration (sua) whcih resulted in an accident of moderate property damage and no injuries. I had pulled to a curbside to park, and had stopped approximately 8 feet behind a large SUV. As I began to raise my foor off the gas pedal, the engine started to accelerate. I applied the brakes which initially began to hold the car which was starting to move forward, but as the acceleration increased, the brakes became unable to hold the car, and it lurched forward and struck the unoccupied SUV. Even though my car only accelerated and traveled 8 feet, the impact was strong enough to cause $6000 worth of damage (actual allowance by insurance company). I've since found out that the hydraulic breaking system and the electronic throttling system are inversely connected to the vacuum generated by the car's engine which means that braking power decreases as throttle increases. Cause of the sua has not been determined. After I got the car repaired, I took it to Hyundai and they were very consiliatory but after checking it for an hour, state that they were unable to recreate the condition and that they did a complete safety check and scanned all the electronic systems to no avail. I had never experienced this condition in the past in this vehicle, however, I had experienced it 3 times in my wife's 2003 Hyundai sante fe. In those situations, there was not anything directly in front of me, and I was able to shift into neutral and regain control of the vehicle.

Uncontrolled acceleration incident report incident occurred at 5:05 pm Friday November 19, 2010 vehicle: 2007 Hyundai Sonata from about 50 mph, I changed lanes and accelerated into the lanes traffic by pressing the gas pedal as far as it would go. When I partially let up on the gas pedal, the car kept accelerating, with the engine roaring, and I fought it with the brake. I put it into neutral and the engine roared still more loudly, so I put it back into drive and used the brake more while the engine roared at its previous rate, which I saw on the tachometer was about 3000 rpm. Then after around five seconds more I put it in neutral again; this time it died down to normal rpm, and I coasted to a stop. After about twenty seconds I put it back into drive, and it was fine. At first I wondered whether the accelerator had gotten caught on the store-bought floor mat, so when I got home I experimented with it, never having moved the mat from its position during the incident. I could indeed cause the lower end of the accelerator to go under the forward edge of the mat, but the mat was not attached to the floor and was too light to prevent the accelerator from coming back up immediately. When I did the same mat experiment on November 22 in the presence of the local Hyundai service manager, she agreed that it is very unlikely that the mat was the problem. She had her technician check the car electronically, but no codes came up to indicate a problem. The service department then did a premium fuel service fuel injector / throttle body service and a complete 27 point inspection.

As I backed the car from a parking space and started forward and I experienced a sudden acceleration. I was lucky that there was no car in front of me and I was able to reach the parking lot exit safely. I turned left for several hundred yards and reached a traffic signal, I was able to immediately turn left. I proceeded south and entered the left turn lane at route 104 and was the first car at the traffic light waiting for traffic already across the intersection waiting to turn left onto route 104. The car across the intersection began to move and I stepped on the accelerator and the car shot across the intersection at full speed instantly and I was driven into the car in front. There was no chance to stop the car. The steering wheel airbag deployed and cut both my wrists when they held the steering wheel. The engine continued to race until I turned off the ignition. A police officer arrived shortly asked one or two questions and suggested I remain in the car. Medics from a private ambulance service who had been in the evening traffic immediately stopped and I opened my front door windows and spoke to them (a man and woman emt). They applied bandage pads to airbag cuts on both wrists through the open windows. I remained in the car and indicated I did not need hospitalization. The driver of the other car immediately got out of his CA.
