general problems of the 2010 Hyundai Tucson

On three separate occasions this vehicle experienced unintentional acceleration while either braking or slowly attempting to park. During each incident the auto accelerated at high speed while my foot was on the brake and I was unable to stop the auto from proceeding forward even with both feet heavily applied to the brakes. Each time I was luckily able to maneuver to avoid hitting any pedestrians in my path and fortunately there were no human injuries during any of these occasions. However, two of the incidents did result in a collision. The first was a minor rear end crash resulting from the inability to stop the auto when it unintentionally accelerated while braking for a red light. The last incident resulted in expensive auto damage when the auto unintentionally accelerated while slowly pulling into a parking spot along the street and causing the auto to jump the curb. To avoid hitting pedestrians walking on the sidewalk or crashing into a storefront, I was forced to collide into a telephone pole to stop the auto resulting in thousands of dollars of front end damage.
