“My problem with this Tucson is in regards of sudden unintended acceleration . It sporadically, on an almost daily basis we experience sua followed by immediately loses power and acceleration every time it's driven. Ex: driving on the freeway doing 70mph, it will lunge and the tachometer will race and suddenly loses power down to 35mph. Then has a lag accelerating afterwards. This is consistent through out the day since I commute a lot. Other issues, when engine on idle it feels like it's about to stall. …”
NHTSA complaint #10597798, filed 2014-06, 30,000 miles“On three separate occasions this vehicle experienced unintentional acceleration while either braking or slowly attempting to park.

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. …”
