Description of the problem	I am now afraid to drive my hyundai sante fe. While driving home from work (about 30 miles from home) my vehicle started accelerating rapidly and surging when i was trying to keep it from lunging forward. I had to use the emergency brake and the brakes to stop it and that still did not stop the acceleration from continuing. I drove it directly to the shop where i wanted to have it fixed. It cost over $500 to have a throttle sensor replaced and now it's doing it again? I had it towed last night because i could not stop it again without almost putting it in a ditch. When it stopped it then started not wanting to go at all. This is a dangerous condition for sure with this vehicle. Since last month when this happened, i have bee reading lots of info from other drivers with the same issue. Hyundai does not want to give me anything for this dangerous repair as they don't want to admit any fault.
