| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In january of 2005, i was driving my 2005 hyundai santa fe 3.5l gls. i stopped at a light and remained stopped for a while. suddenly, the vehicle accelerated and despite depressing the brakes, i could not stop it from lunging forward. i had to quickly get it out of gear to make it stop, and fortunately did not hit anyone. i took it to rowe hyundai in westbrook, maine (where i bought it) and the service department said they could not duplicate it nor could they identify the problem. on 2-22-05, i was stopped at a stop sign with my foot on the brake, when suddently the engine accelerated quickly and loudly. i depressed the brake harder yet could not stop the vehicle from lunging forward. before i could get it out of gear, it rear-ended the person parked in front of me. this caused damage to both vehicles. i had it towed to the dealer and have contacted hyundai motor america about this. |
