Car Accelerates On Its Own problems of the 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. While driving various speeds or making a turn, the vehicle would sputter and then stall without warning. In addition, the vehicle experienced a drastic reduction in speed. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, it traveled to the floorboard, and then the vehicle would suddenly accelerate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (bob brady auto mall, 4025 e boyd rd, decatur, IL 62521, (217) 876-3800) where it was awaiting diagnostic testing. The contact stated that a possible cause of the failure could be the wastegate actuator. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was awaiting their response. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.

This vehicle has sudden unintended acceleration as well as continued acceleration after the foot is completely removed from the pedal. I have experienced several near accidents as a result of the problem while the vehicle was in motion. The dealer has been unable to fix the problem, which has been reported several times over the life of the vehicle and still has not been fixed.
