2006 Hyundai Tucson Vehicle speed control Problems

“The vehicle while foot on brake or while in park accelerates on its own! I almost got into an accident because my foot was all the way on the brake for car to stop but engine was still inching forward while in stopped position! …”

“I have a 2006 Hyundai Tucson and twice now I have experienced sudden acceleration. The first time I was backing out of a parking space and the car surged backwards and I had to apply the brakes hard. The second time I had just pulled out of my driveway and touched the gas pedal and the car surged forward for a few feet before slowing down.”

“While driving one day, I felt my car shift as if the wheel had slipped, this occurred many times after making a turn. I recently had work done to the front (strut, tie rod, knuckle, ball joint) and am also in need of a wheel alignment. I wondered if this was why, so I called the mechanic back, but he told me that it was my tires. However there is still a fair amount of tread on my tires, so I am not sure if thats really true. Next thing I know, my car accelerated out of nowhere and was almost like driving itself at 20mph (the speed it was stuck on even after slowing down). …”

“My 2006 Hyundai Tucson has stalled out repeatedly during deceleration. It has died repeatedly while turning into a parking lot. It has also died while slowing down for a stop sign. It has jerked and felt like it was down-shifting (hard)while driving on the highway. Today, 10/1/10, it died while driving through an intersection. I have taken the car to the dealer three times and they have been unable to recreate the problem so nothing has been done to fix it.”

“I was driving in traffic on a two lane road. I heard a load bang and my car began to speed up. I tried braking but I could not slow or stop the car. With traffic in front of me I pulled into the left lane not seeing any oncoming traffic. Then a car was coming in that lane so I threw the car into park and pulled up on emergency brake. Since it was raining, the rear end of the car came around and I got hit on the passenger side rear door. The car finally stopped against a fence with the engine still racing.”
