Description of the problem	Sudden unintended acceleration in a hyundai santa fe causing a major accident at our house with extensive damage to vehicle and property, and some personal injury. The vehicle had previously been reported as having over-revved on occasion, but the dealer had been unable to replicate the fault, and this had not occurred for some time. On this occasion the engine stuck in maximum revs, even in neutral, and an independent engineer attributed this to faulty cable positioning, although it is not know whether that caused the original sua or just the sticking. The airbag failed to inflate despite major impact. Hyundai have been singularly unhelpful and denied knowledge of this sort of thing occurring before, which is clearly untrue. Unfortunately we are not, and the incident was not, in the us, but we have been asked to report this to you by others in the us affected by the same problem, because of hyundai's disinterest.
