“When starting my car, rpms jumped to 4 without press any pedals. And my car was shaking and really big sound from engine while its on park. And I switched to drive mode and suddenly my car move forward by itself. And then hit sidewalk and heatshield got damaged. I went to dealership. But no problem found. I was really scared, I thought im gonna die.”

“On december 18, 2015 at approximately 4:45pm, my husband and I were beginning our trip to an event. We were stopped at a stop light, about the 4th or 5th car in line to turn left onto a major road. There are 2 lanes for turning left and we were in the turn lane next to the lane that goes straight across the main road because we were going to have to make the first right onto the interstate after getting on the main road. We had already come to a complete stop and had been stopped for probably a minute or so. Cars were also stopped behind us. …”

“On december 22nd, 2015, I was driving the car into my parking lot at my office when the car began to accelarate on its own. This is the second time in the last 6 months that the engine has accelarated without depressing the accelerator and then continued to rev higher when the car is put into park.

He asked if I felt safe driving it to the dealer which I did. …”

“Twice today, while driving in stop/go traffic, the car felt as if it was accelerating on its own. When I took the foot of the brake to go, the car would jolt forward on its own. Had to press the brake bery hard to make sure it wouldnt go by itself. I had to pull over, afraid I would hit car. When I put it on neutral, the engine revved to 3000rpms and it stayed there. My foot was not on the gas pedal at all. When I tried shifting back to drive, it jolted forward. The only way to get it to stop doing this was to turn the engine off. …”

“On 8/16/11, while driving down a couple of hills on my brakes, approaching a car & stop sign at an intersection a little over 2 blocks away, I pressed down harder on the brake pedal to come to a complete stop. The car, a new, 2011 Hyundai Genesis, would not stop. I continued to press harder and harder on the brake, but the car would not stop. It just continued at to move at the speed I was driving down the hill, approximately 15-20 MPH. As a result, the car rolled directly into the car sitting at the stop sign.”
