2011 Hyundai Santa FE Vehicle speed control Problems

“As I was driving my family home from a soccer match in denver to our home in breckenridge my car(Hyundai, Santa Fe 2011) lost all power with out the engine dying. We were heading west and in the tunnel. It was extremely scary and put my family in danger. No warning lights have ever come up on my car before or after. This is the first time of many incidents that this has happened and not only when I have been driving but also my daughter, she has her permit! It doesn't just happen on the interstate but also around our community while driving. …”

“This problem has been going on since we bought it. It happens at least 2-3 times a month. It is most noticeable when stopped on a slight incline, but has occurred on a level street. The car doesn't respond when the accelerator is pressed. After several attempts, the car lunges forward. If on an incline, the car rolls backwards. I have to keep my left foot on the brake now and press the accelerator with the right foot. The dealer has not been able to duplicate.”

“While driving at a rate of less than 5-10 mpg in heavy traffic on the 105 west freeway. The car suddenly lost power steering abilities and all power in the vehicle without notification lights or any other strange peculiarities. Both the check engine and oil lights went on. I managed to pull over with whatever residual power remaining as not to impede traffic but it was a terrifying struggle. The gears were also locked and unable to shift. I turned off the ignition and restarted the car. …”

“Brought car in for service about problems with cruise control,airbag on passenger side,bad smudge mark on windshield on passenger side which dealer could not fix after several tries but never wrote up a service order. When car is set at 50mph and we are coming to a left turn I turn on left turn signal car lurches forward at very high speed.dealer claims because on incline, but I do it without turn signal does not speed up. Airbag passenger side intermittent dealer claims cannot find problem. …”

“This has happened at last monthly since purchase in august 2011. When attempting to stop placement of accelerator and brake pedals causes my foot to press both pedals at same time. Yesterday when I attempted to stop at a t intersection the front end entered the intersection as another vehicle was approaching. Quick action by the other driver avoided a collision. My brother said he had same problem (foot on both pedals at same time) when test driving his wife's Santa Fe.”
