Description of the problem	We were behind a car going approximately 5 mph in a parking lot waiting for the car ahead of us to turn into a lane and into a parking spot when our car - a hyundai 2004 santa fe - suddenly accelerated once and then again hitting the car in front of us, twice. After we hit the car the first time we tried to brake but even though he had his foot on the brake the car accelerated again. We reported the accident to the insurance companies - took the suv to the hyundai dealership - reporting the incident to them - they did some kind of a test and told us there was nothing wrong with the car. When the car is in neutral the rpms race high - and since that accident i had the car in reverse and it started to accelerate forward again. We looked on the in internet and there are many of these same complaints so why is hyundai denying this happens to the car?
