ENGINE ACCELERATED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A CITY 4 LANE HWY & BRAKE PEDAL WOULDN'T STOP THE CAR. FINALLY WAS STOPPING AND I SHUT THE CAR OFF. HAD IT TOWED HOME WHERE IT HAS BEEN UNUSABLE SINCE OUT OF FEAR. I HAVE READ MANY REPORTS OF ACCIDENTS ON DIFFERENT HYUNDAI MODELS AND DIFFERENT YEARS BECAUSE OF THE CARS' ACCELERATING ON THEIR OWN. WHY HAVEN'T THESE CARS BEEN RECALLED? ???
