Speed Control Linkage Problems of Hyundai Sonata

We recentlty purchased a used but showroom condition Hyundai Sonata with somewhere around 29,000 miles on it from a dealership. After about three weeks my son had to leave it in a parking lot. The throttle/cruise control cable (even tho he did not have the cruise control on) was stuck. He thought the problem was fixed so hedrove the car a few more weeks and was on his way home when the same thing happened again only this time he ran into a utility pole. The car was damaged pretty baddly but thank the lord he was not. He could have been killed. The utility company is charging us about $4000. 00 or more dollars for the work they had to do to the pole. I called Hyundai consumer affairs. The car is at a Hyundai dealership. Consumer affairs is mailing me a form to fill out. I do not know if Hyundai is going to claim responsiblity or not. I feel that this problem needs to be researched to see if there have been any other problems with the throttle/cruise control sticking making it impossible to stop or causing any other problem. I hate to see someone die from this.

While driving rpms go up high, idle will not drop. Vehicle accelerated suddenly and unexpectedly without warning. Car drives over 40 without foot on gas. Hard time braking because engine is too high. Has been going on since had car. Dealer adjusted cable and didn't work. Almost went thru dealer wall when bringing it in for repair. Is in repair shop again because problem was not fixed. Car is unsafe and had near collisions.
